| More Questions on Pet Car Seats I am still researching car seats. What do most of you have? Do you have a seat that is made for the front or back seat? I am finding that the back car seats are safer because if the air bag goes off, it could hurt your Yorkie. But, I would love to have her in the front passenger seat next to me. So confusing! Thanks.

| I have a seat called "Pet Voyage" or something like that. I use it in the front seat and the seat is pushed back as far as it will go in case the air bag deploys. This seat has a restraining strap that attaches to her harness. If puppies aren't secured in their seats, well...I don't even want to imagine the outcome of a wreck. What is the purpose of the 'car seats' that don't have restraining straps? |

| My doggy carseat was the best purchase I ever made. It was $89 and worth every penny. It is foamed covered with a fabric and the bed part is very soft. It sits up high so they can see out and it secures with a seatbelt and then a restraint that attaches to their harnesses. It can hold three small yorkies easily. They can lay down or sit up and look out. It has a drawer in it to store leashes, toys and whatever. It has a tray that hooks to the front for food and water. I am less distracted when I drive, I know that they are safe and even when I stop they are not going to jump out without me seeing them, etc. Chai gets carsick so I cannot put her in the back seat. She has to be up high where she can see out. |

| I looked into this, and it says it holds dogs up to 20 lbs. My Yorkie weighs 5-1/2 lbs. How big is your kid? Would my dog be too small for this? I don't want her to get lost in it. Many thanks. Kate Quote:

| Rocky is 8lbs and even though he is a bit bigger, I dont think your babie would get lost, Rocky can lay down in the seat and have his toys in it as well and their is a hook for the harness. I only use it for short rides (15-30mins), other than that I am His car seat. |
