I've wondered about the booster seats - but, being an overly-protective mom, I find they seem so "open". Are the little ones only secured via leash? Is that safe? (I don't mean to question your care for your babies, I'm sincerely wondering - because if it's all good, I want one!  ) Pardon my ignorant question but what if you brake suddenly, don't they fly off their booster seat and are left hanging by their leash? (How's that for a visual  ). I just prefer Bella in her all enclosed carrier which I know is tightly secured via seatbelt - she's not going anywhere!
All that being said... as a mommy who likes to pamper her baby, if Bella could 100% safely enjoy a view, that'd be fantastic! Can someone explain to me what happens if you stop suddenly or (worse) are involved in a collision and your little one is on a booster seat?

The snoozer is as safe as a car seat for a toddler. It is secure the same way with strapping it into the car and then seatbelting them in.You hook the seatbelt to their harness.
I agree with putting the car seat in the back seat. the snoozer does have a strap to hold them in and it has a safety strap to strap into the back seat so it is safe that is why I am going with the snoozer.
Snoozer Pet Products - Dog Car Seats - Dog Beds - Dog Carriers I have heard good reviews.
since I got the car seat from pet co Pixie loves looking out the window and does not get car sick. I hate the one from pet co bc there is really no sides on it so I glued a pet bed in it. It does strap into the car and then it has a harness you secure her in it with. I just think the snoozer is nicer made. I think both her and Daisy will like it being able to cuddle and look ou the window. I feel Comfortable that will be safe
So maybe you should check it out for Bella.
I wish Pixie liked her carrier but she goes insane jumping around hitting her head I was a wreck just driving to the vets, I was always afraid she was going to give herself a head injury. lol she was like the tazmania devil in that carrier. I even tried buying a soft one and that was worse she would try to bite her way out of it. lol she was a wild woman in it!! So for me and my sanity I have to go with a car seat. lol
