|  I have always hooked the tether in the car seat to the shoulder harness part of the seat belt. But this is making me think that I should hook it around the lap belt part of the seat belt. The lap belt holds the car seat in and it is already taunt, so it wouldn't move any more in an accident. The shoulder harness would still have to engage in an accident before it would stop my guys from flying. Good post. Glad for this insight and information. Glad your sugar is okay too.

| Therapy Dog Donating Member  | OMG glad to hear that you both are OK. What car seat do you have? The Snoozer console or the full-size one?

| YT Addict  |  Glad to hear your okay that the you baby didn't get hurt. It is a grim reminder that car seats and seat belts really do save lives! BTW where did you get that car seat b/c the one I use for bella is getting too small and I just love yours! Last edited by LullaBelle; 04-14-2008 at 09:56 AM. |

| So happy that you are both o.k. That must have been scary to say the least. I always put Tricksie in her seat unless someone is riding and holds her.

I got it here- http://www.inthecompanyofdogs.com/it...nsole&PageNo=1 I have the standard one. Sugar is 4 pounds and it's a good size for him. Spike is 4 1/2 and is comfortable in it too (not together) but probably any bigger wouldn't be comfortable. It has a lot higher sides than other console seats and the back is higher than the sides so they wont fall out of the back. Can you tell I love it?  ETA: Soneal has the same seat in the SUV size so I'm sure she could answer any questions about that one.

| Oh my gosh Nikki I am so glad that y'all are ok. I know what my next purchase for Murfee is gonna be. He usually just rides in his bed on the console between the seats.

| How scary! I'm glad you and Sugar are o.k and that it wasn't anything too big. Lately I haven't been using Rocky's carseat because Bella threw up in it and I took it out, so he's been sitting on my lap (my fiance's driving). This thread is motivating me to not mess around though, he needs his carseat! Bella just stays in her carrier in the car.
