They don't show the force of an airbag, because just like a child, a dog should never be in the front seat. I have heard that plastic crates will explode on impact. Even when secured with the seat belt, it's still pretty scary. I think I would choose a wire crate over plastic, but soft sided seems to be the safest of all three.

A dog in the back seat would possibly impact on the back of the front seat if the harness is too long. In the front seat you also have to protect them from the force of the airbag which is NOT shown in the video. I think a carrier offers more protection in the front. Funny how in their video the plastic carrier was not secured by the seatbelt which can be easily done by looping it through and around the carrier. I also use bungee cords to help secure Buster's carrier. |
