Unless you are referring to car seats that are cutting edge---unbeknown to me.
I've had two types of car seats. One a bucket type that hangs on the head rest. It has a popular screen print of the breed on it. I never put it in the car. The other is a foam type that sits in the seat. It has a pull out storage drawer in it with a black cover. This one holds two dogs. They can jump out of it/hanging from the side. People rave about the later one. Both junk.

There may be must of it than I'm aware of. Everyone parks all over the place.

I still don't understand what you're trying to say here. More aware of what? What did parking have to do with car seats?

I'm not a show person, so I must be one of the pet homes that you're referring to, but I'm hardly uneducated.

I do put my Yorkies in car seats and they are safe.

I understand having to crate them when you're going to shows because normally you would be driving a longer distance to a show using a highway and there should be less stopping and starting while in traffic BUT for us pet homes putting our Yorkies in car seats is more pleasurable and just as safe for them. Putting them in a cage with all of the slowing down, stopping and going again would be jerking them around. In a car seat, they are surrounded by soft foam, securely tethered to a harness, and able to sit, stand or lay down comfortably plus I am able to turn around and check on them. I have been hit from behind while at a stop light and my kids were just fine.

I do think that the people who let their dogs sit in their laps while they are driving are uninformed about the safety of their dogs and others.

Of course, I know that there are very educated people driving around while talking on their cell phones and I think that is the biggest safety hazard that I've ever seen!
