My little Katy girl had some issues like that. She equally loved sitting in my lap and free roaming, but we settled on an oversized pet-bed/booster with a high back and sides that sat in the passenger’s seat.

I don't plan on re-using Katy's bed/booster and have been scoping out alternatives. Priorities for me are keeping these little bitty things off anyone's lap in the front seats* and something that will work whether my back seat is up or folded down. I only wish I had to make this decision sooner. Sigh.

Thank you for your kind words. --Katy'sMom

My truck and car I have the ability to turn off the air bag on passenger side, the booster seat is in the front passenger side and my pup has 2 tethers attached to his harness, one that came with the booster seat, one is a thick tether that clips into the passenger seat belt then harness. The safest place is the back seat, this I know, my choice to have him in the front. The pup saver is good, but not for my dog that must be elevated off the seat to eliminate his car sickness. If a vehicle gets T-boned, I don't care what type of safety device is being used, the dog will get injured if not killed. All the test vids only show front accidents, never T-bone collisions. Fortunately there are a lot of choices out there for ppl to make, to decide which is the best for their dog.
Thank you for the YT airbag link, I wish every member, newbies and oldies would read it and get their dogs off their laps or free roaming of car and into the safest dog device of their choice.
