Thanks for the review! It's definitely comforting knowing that my dogs should have plenty of room in it. Your Chase looks so much like Smokey... I can even picture Smokey laying in the car seat just like Chase is. They are so cute! Do they ever get tangled up in the tethers? Chip is a little wiggle worm and it will probably take him some time to get used to the car seat, so that is a concern of mine.

The Snoozer looks like it might be a little deeper, which I would like, but mine have not fallen out or started going over the side of this one when we have been driving. So, I guess it is deep enough. It is very well made -- sturdy. The cover zips off for washing. It doubles as an extra bed when I have it in the house. They seem to really like it for a bed and definitely like it in the car so they can see out the window. Pet Gear - PG11 - X - Booster Pet Car Seat in Charcoal | Pets By CSN This is the one I have -- can't remember where I bought mine, maybe Overstock.com -- it was close to $60. It was recently on a HUGE sale at the CSN site. I should have bought a second to just have a spare. But I moved too slow and the special pricing was gone before I could snatch one up. Still, this one seems to be wearing very well so I doubt I will need another any time soon.
I am sure you will be happy with the Snoozer -- I have never read anyone unhappy with that brand. But the Pet Gear is an affordable option that I am happy with too. Thought I'd give you something to think about.  |
Thanks for the other option! I'll definitely look into it. Snoozer is a little (actually a lot) higher priced than I can afford, but if it's for my boys, they'll get what they need. What size are your dogs that you use that car seat for? From the reviews of the Pet Gear one, it seemed like a lot of people were saying that the car seat is a lot smaller than advertised. Smokey is a rather large boy, so we definitely need enough room for him but I don't want to get the large size if it will be too big for both dogs.
