| Molly and Lilly are in there carrier strapped to a seat belt so if there is an accident they won't be hit by anything thrown around the car. They just snuggle down and sleep till we arrive. It has a clip on dish I can put water and food in for long trips and they have some toys in there too.

| I have a special seatbelt harness, keeps them in place, I put a pillow beneath them so they can nap. Recently, there was another case in the news of an accident where the owner was fine, but their beloved pup parished. You can't be too careful in a car people and animals can't defy gravity.

| Mine are always in a car seat. I started the little kids when we first got them and Yogi actually gets scared to sit on your lap instead of in his seat. Here's Gracie Ruth. "Let's go Momma! I'm ready to shop!"

| Lexi rides in her carseat. She doesn't seem to mind at all. She can see out the window and seems very comfy. I got this one at Petsmart and it seems real secure. Buckles into the car seat belt and a three point harness hooks to her buddy belt. There is extra storange below the seat and bowls that attach seat. |

| Oliver had his first road trip this past weekend. We used his crate in the backseat, strapped in...but door was open because he falls apart on me when we close it. I like the console seat, I'm going to look into that one. Oliver kept trying to sit there but it made me nervous unless we can secure him. |

| Bentley is in his carrier strapped in with a seat belt and he HATES it. He will not stop barking! Maybe I should look into those snoozers...

| I went and bought the Petco Car Booster Seat for now because I was too impatient to wait for one to come in the mail. We'll see how she does with that and if she loves car rides maybe Santa can bring her a super nice Snoozer seat.

| My babies rode on someone's lap usually or tied into the backseat with their harness & leash, but recently I bought a new car and it has white leather interior and its kind of nice so I am reverting back to the crate. I really think and my husband keeps saying to get the car booster seat, so I'm thinking that's what I'm going to do for them, they will be happier to look out the window and be safer than a lap and not ruin my seats with little claws!
