I thought you had the Pet Gear too, so you know the seat form is made from polystyrene and the sides are firm. ZoE likes this when riding around town, because she stands in her seat and puts her front paws on the side and looks out the window. I know some don't feel the sewn-in strap is as secure (and I did shorten mine because it was too long), but we don't use it, as we also have a strap that buckles into the actual seat belt, so she is super secure AND she can see out the windows well.
The Snoozer seat form is made from foam....like your couch/sofa cushions...so it is definately softer (including the sides). I had the medium PetGear & so bought the medium Snoozer thinking they'd be the same, but the Snoozer is actually ALOT bigger and ZoE can stretch out and lay down in it just like its a bed. I might try using the Snoozer on my next trip across state to visit my kids at college and see how ZoE likes it on long trips on the boring freeway where she loses interest looking out the windows and just sleeps.
I find the Pet Gear harder to buckle in, but believe how it buckles in makes it very secure, even though I don't enjoy the hassle of moving it from vehicle to vehicle, so I'll stay put in my Stang. The Snoozer is very easy to buckle in and it would be no problem moving it between vehicles. |
I have the same thoughts as you regarding the differences between the PetGear and the Snoozer.
We use the PetGear daily because the boys like being able to really stand up and see things. I shortened the tethers by tying a knot in them (a tip learned here on YT
). Snoozer is more comfy for relaxing. I will be selling both seats because I like them both

ETA: Your kiddies are adorable in their seats!
