| How do your yorkies ride in the car? When we got Phoebe last summer I always had her in her crate on the floor. Once she got too big for the crate, she would sit on someone's lap and they'd hold her. Then winter came and she only went out a few times for grooming. Now that it's warmed up a bit she'll be out and about with us a lot more. I don't feel that it's safe for her on my kids' lap. The options I've seen and considered so far are the car seat booster, travel bag (which can be buckled to a seat), or a crate. How does your fur baby ride in the car?

| My two have a car seat. I can't imagine if I didn't have one what it would be like Luna would want to be in my lap and Izzy would probably try to hang out the window Even a fender bender could leave a dog their size seriously injured or worse, so it's worth every cent

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | We have a Snoozer Car Seat as well and just love it! Katie Scarlett has plenty of room, is safe, and does very well in it. She loves car rides. We have the basic one in pink vinyl fabric. I got the vinyl because I thought it would wipe off easy and it does. We also bought the little food/water tray thingie that clips on to it for long car rides. It has been one of the best purchases we have made. Here is a link for you: Dog Car Seat - Pet Car Seat - Lookout Pet Car Seat - Snoozer Pet Products This is the one we have: Snoozer Lookout I Pet Car Seat- All Other Fabrics - Snoozer Pet Car Seats - Dog Car Seats And the little clip on food/water thingie: Pet Car Seat Travel Rack - Snoozer Pet Accessories Hope that helps!

| We have a snoozer too , but wish we had the vinyl- Abby gets sick, sick, sick! Hope she outgrows it. Good thing the covers are removable/washable. If I didn't have this seat I would at least get a harness that buckles to the seatbelt (Paw Rider)and put a small round dog bed on the seat. |

♥Love My 3 Furrbutts♥ Donating Member | I have the outward hound car seats in small. The small is fine for Raelle, but Orion barely fits and he is 10lbs. I will have to look into buying a snoozer for him...just unsure of the size. the small outward hound says up to 18lbs, but it is too small for my bruiser!

| Truffles on Snoozer Console car seat in middle of us and no more car sick! She still get sick with booster seat in back seat for long ride... she is very short and small so snoozer console is better because she can see front window and side and me right by my shoulder but booster in back seat I even put cushion on the bottom but she still can't see much on side window.... |

| I use an Easy Rider harness and extender which attaches to the seat belt. It allows her to look out the window and when she's wearing her K-9 optix glasses, it's a hoot to see driver reaction! Last edited by Pookie1w; 05-21-2012 at 03:35 PM. |

| If we are only driving around town the car seat is used. If we are going on a trip on the highway she is in a hard carrier that is strapped into the car with a seat belt. I used to be a paramedic and sadly humans were not the only fatalities and injuries we used to see at motor vehicle accidents. |
