ok i have made another try at it and i think i got it now. it fits in the car fine.. i went into the dollar general store and got this stuff. i don't know if you can see it or not but i drilled holes in the bottom piece in front and put macrame cord in for loops to put the seat belt though. i was truely in the store for 5 minutes. quick choosing. and cheap! Buckeye has plenty of room in it and Ahia will be just comfy. (i hope) i used an old travel pillow this time. i will cover it so it don't look so raw. i am just proud as all get out of this accomplishment. you got me into gear! this has become an obsession with me now. LOL
redfrog , i think i will probably have the same trouble with my two. I think probably you got to be firm and not give in and they will soon get used to riding in it.
