| Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator  |  Oh my gosh! I am so glad you are both okay! I can't believe that on top of the stress of taking little Sugar in - you both had to go through this on the way, my gosh. I'm ashamed to say that I DON'T use my carseat - I "hold" Marcel with one hand (bc he loves to be held) and drive with the other - how terrible is that?

|  Carseats and Crates I'm so glad that you and your little one were not hurt in the car accident. I've always worried about car seats and use dog crates instead. My husband uses a dog seat for his Shih tzu. It's good to know that the dog seat worked! Karen: |

Use that seat girl! They're like little missiles in an accident. I've held Sugar while driving too but the thought of the airbag always scared me.

 It was really minor so I was surprised to see how Sugar was thrown. It was a side swipe too not even a rear end. I guess it doesn't take much impact to throw 4 pounds.

| Oh Nikki, how scary for you and Sugar. I'm pleased you are both ok. These things happen so fast, don't they. My two travel in their travel crates, strapped in by the seat belts on the back seat. On the way home from a recent trip we hit a "donga" in the road and Coffee's crate turned upside down, but was still strapped in thank goodness. Please everyone, starp your kiddos in somehow, doesn't matter how. They are precious. Sheilagh

| How scary and I am glad you are both alright ! I am going to take a look at the carseats too for the MH as we travel with the boys strapped into a kennel on the seats and these may be a better idea ! ( The kennels are strapped down with a seatbelt and don't move though ) |

| Donating YT 11K Club Member  | wow omg i would be soo scared! I'm so glad he's okay. It's so important to have a carseat, since they are so light anything will make them go flying. It's so dangerous, im so glad he's okay!

| I've posted this before but here he is in his car seat. He looks so silly in this picture.  You can tell I had the strap too long- I don't know what I was thinking.
