Is there a particular booster seat people recommend? I have one I got 4 years ago. I forget if it's a brand name/real one or not, but it's pretty much just a square seat that has a removable padded covering. Not sure my 2.5 lb Yorkie is tall enough to see out the window in it... The one time I took her in the car and she repeatedly threw up, I initially tried putting her in that, but then it ended up she wanted to stay in my lap. ??

We have the Outward Hound that we got at Petsmart. It has an airbag in the bottom so that you can lower or raise the seat. General Lee is now 9 pounds and so we let some of the air out so he can sit a little lower than when he was 3 pounds. Also the car seat has a strap with a hook on it to attach to the harness. The car seat is attached to the back seat as a child seat would. We got hit on the freeway in a snow storm that pushed us down into the meridian. We both bounced in the truck, but he never moved and was completely unharmed.

Ciara has ridden in a crate, a booster seat, the seat of the car and on people's laps. It doesn't seem to matter. We can usually go to the vet, who is about 4 miles from here, but if I drive the 6 miles to my grandson's school, she gets sick.
