Back in the mid 90's they didn't have then what they have today, booster seats, or any type of restraining devises. I had a pack of 3, the smallest weighing 9 pounds 2 at 13 Lbs. They were very well behaved lil girls, each had their spot on the back seat and never moved. One week end on the highway I had to brake hard to avoid hitting the car in front of me, my 9 pounder was thrown onto the floor, she had short lil legs and couldn't get back on the seat, I had to pull off the highway and give her a boost back up, thankfully she wasn't hurt, and the other 2 had the strength to hold themselves back. From that time forward all my pups were tight leashed to the back seats, I was never going to have another pup be thrown to the floor. Cody's has a booster seat because he gets car sick, there's a short tether that comes attached to the booster seat that I attach to his harness, then another very strong tether that clips into the cars seat belt and attaches to his harness, this kid ain't going nowhere if I have to slam on my brakes or god forbid I am involved in an accident.
Strap these babies up, prevent them from injury, most of the time it's the other guys fault, always better safe then sorry.
