I use a booster seat for Sunni, and she's pretty happy in it. It does allow her to look out the window, but most of the time if its a lot of driving she ends up snoozing. The one I got folds up pretty easily and it can go over and head rests, front seat if its just me and her. back seat if others in the car, and facing backwards in the cargo area if the car is full of people. NJ has gotten really strict about not having dogs restrained (another reason to fine us, lol) So, I don't have a choice if I want her to come with me. Which I usually do.
