What I have found as far as booster seats go is, for some dogs that suffer from motion sickness the booster seat MUST be suspended
OFF the passenger seat. A booster seat that sets
ON the passenger seat road vibration still passes through the booster seat and the dog feels this vibration. One that is suspended OFF the seat eliminates this road vibration. You must also change your driving habits, such as taking turns slower, changing lanes, wait for more then enough space to move over so the lane change can be done at a smoother pace,
not see an opening and dip right in, these fast movements is what causes dogs to get sick. If you have hills slow down when coming DOWN the hill. Me, I drive my cars like I am in the Indy 500, 80 MPH is my cruising speed, I had to change my driving habits when I have my boy in the car. I also have a pick up truck, if you have ever been in one you know it is a bouncy ride, my boy does well even in the truck which I use 90% of the time. Just food for thought, not everything works for every dog, it's trial and error.
