Trixie rides in a snoozer lookout carseat that sits in the backseat of our suv in the middle. She is really quite comfortable in it. she wears her harness and there is a strap that attaches to it so that she is strapped into the carseat. I could use this carseat in the front seat, but I am afraid with the airbags....but something is better than nothing if your pup must sit in the front seat.
