The solvit types are just kind of hanging in the air strapped in around the back portion of the car's seat and head rest. I didn't feel as though my kids were as secure in the solvit type as I do in the pet gear or snoozer types.
Also, my dogs are small and in the solvit type seats they tend to sink down inside the bed area, and can't see as well as on the little raised bed area of the snoozer and pet gear types.
I thought my pet gear seat was a medium but after recently ordering a medium off the CSN stores clearance area and getting it home, I now think my other is a large size (bought on Overstock.com). The larger size is plenty big enough for Ruby and Reno, 3 and 4-1/2lbs. I bought the new one because now we normally travel with three  Both seats fit just fine in our smaller size SUV's back seat.
I wanted to add, having ours ride in car seats does seem to help with car sickness. Also, just now saw the size of your kids....maybe two small size pet gear or snoozer type seats would work better? |
Thanks Jen. I was looking at the Snoozer because I liked the look of it over the others and it looked like they could lay down in it. I would get one for Teddy also because he gets car sick. We have to put him in a crate, and cover it with a blanket or he just freaks out. I've tried taking him on all kinds of shorter car rides and encouraging him and the only thing that keeps him calm is darkness and the crate. So sad
So I thought I'd start with one to try because Barney and Daisy love to look out the window, even on long car rides. Then I could try it on Teddy.
They have these on amazon in small, medium and large and then they have the Snoozer 1 and Snoozer 2. I was going to buy thru YHR's link on amazon so they could get credit.
What size do you think is best? Would a large one be big enough for two of them or should I go with individual ones?
