I just got the lookout console seat. I think it is a wonderful idea (thanks to whoever recommended it!!) It stays put by strapping it to both seats and the dog stays put by strapping her in by her harness just like you would a leash with a harness. It states they must be in a harness b/c a collar can severely injure them if your car stops suddenly. Mine is little and holds up to a 4 lb dog and I have it in black to match my black leather seats. It comes in different colors too. I think it was on sale for 39.99 at Plow and hearth online.
