What kind of Car seat?

[margaritaville]

Bubba and Sissy have the Snoozer in a med and they both fit comfortably. It's black quilted on the outside and tan on the inside.

I think you guys have me convinced to go with the Snoozer. I think I'll get one medium and one small to keep two babies in the medium and one in the small. This way, when I only have one with me, I can just use the small one.

Thanks!!

We also have the snoozer outlook in black. It cover is removable and washable, Jersey does get car sick, it's so easy to take off and throw in the wash.

The pic isn't that great but you can see how cozy it is

The solvit types are just kind of hanging in the air strapped in around the back portion of the car's seat and head rest. I didn't feel as though my kids were as secure in the solvit type as I do in the pet gear or snoozer types.

Also, my dogs are small and in the solvit type seats they tend to sink down inside the bed area, and can't see as well as on the little raised bed area of the snoozer and pet gear types.

I thought my pet gear seat was a medium but after recently ordering a medium off the CSN stores clearance area and getting it home, I now think my other is a large size (bought on Overstock.com). The larger size is plenty big enough for Ruby and Reno, 3 and 4-1/2lbs. I bought the new one because now we normally travel with three Both seats fit just fine in our smaller size SUV's back seat.

I wanted to add, having ours ride in car seats does seem to help with car sickness. Also, just now saw the size of your kids....maybe two small size pet gear or snoozer type seats would work better?

I just got my new solvit, and maybe it's a new thing, but there is a particle board type board under neath the padding, so it's hard, there'd be no way of it sinking down eventually. Perhaps it is a new thing they are doing.

I like the Solvit bc it is much more budget friendly, and takes less space when you are not using it.

I sell Solvit, and am also awaiting my Snoozer account to open too, so for all YT members who aren't in a terrible hurry to get one, I offer 10% off.

I have the Snoozer, size small, in black for Levi. I never thought I would get him transitioned to the car seat, but he really does like it. It is really soft and cozy. His fur-cousin Dallas that we live with is super jealous of the seat and is always napping in it when we bring it in from the car.

We still have our solvit type seat and use it when we need the extra room. It's great that it doesn't take up much room to store. That's great you're going to offer the Snoozer seats too and with a discount

My main concern is getting a seat to fit both my boys (9# & 10#) and to have it for the back seat of my truck. It has head rests and shoulder belts, but I'd rather have one that rests on the seat. What brand would y'all suggest? I'm putting a bug in DH's ear for Christmas!

Dog Car Safety Restraint Seat Belt Harness 7-15" Chest Pink Camo - eBay (item 350373860862 end time Dec-10-10 18:01:03 PST) I paid way more for it in the pet boutique, I'm looking for everything on eBay now! Keeps them safely restrained in the car during an accident or just from running around and falling off seats-also it's multifunctional as a regular harness for walks...the leash clips on the same D-ring the seat belt attachment does-both can be clipped on and off (P.S. I put my dog's ID tags on the D-ring too).
Car sickness-Pepto and Mellow Mut-yes the pink stuff we use-ask your vet for dosage here's the Mellow Mut link http://www.dogswell.com/mellow_mut/chicken_breast_jerky

Has anyone tried the console seats? They can be next to you, but still strapped in. Do you think they would be ok with the airbags?

[LDMomma]

We have the Pet Gear booster seats as well. We haven't been using them though lately because a dog on another forum I frequent passed away while riding in one (during an accident).

We are currently using these bags Original Sherpa Carrier Medium - Airline Approved Pet Carriers in brown and pink.

We did. It was a pain in the rear to install and then it slid around when you turned. We returned it.

I also have the Snoozer My Buddy Lookout seat in Large. Its plenty large for both of mine. I have it in my back seat. You seat belt it into your seats and it comes with 2 straps you clip to their halters to restrain them in the seat.

The only problem with it is Finnigan wants to be in your lap and he whines and whines wanting out of it.

Gwenni has pretty bad car sickness and I think it has helped somewhat with the car sickness but we still have to pre-treat her before we go anywhere.

I got my Snoozers - I got one medium and one small. I think I may exchange the medium and just get two more smalls. They seemed comfy and Teddy was not as car sick in it.


Here is a very short video clip of my babies in their seats. As you can tell, they rubbed their heads in the snoozers as soon as we got in the car and their bows are a disaster!

Very cute! So glad it worked out.

Cute! Glad you like the Snoozer. Levi has the exact same seat!
