It's still a better option than in your lap - and I think since that incident last week she kinda knows but I still watch her. Most of the time she is sleeping and/or sitting in it.

Bailey is on my lap at the steering wheel, turning on my cruise control... Is the car seat advisable due to air bags, or I have a very small console between seats. Which is better? Dog.com has a car seat around $25.00 anyone use this one???

I have a 2004 Explorer and the SUV size console seat works great. Smaller cars would have to use the small size. I know they make one for up to 4lbs and one up to 12 lbs.. (that is the suv size). I can fit two (yorkies) in my SUV size.. Mine love sitting on the console and I feel so much safer with the seat than without it.
Wish we had it when we took our long trip to Wyoming, but even then the babies were very good to travel with. i* USED A SEATBELT THRU THE HANDLE ON THE CRATE AND THEY WERE FINE. oF COURSE i LEFT THE DOOR OPEN MOST OF THE TIME (oops) sorry about the caps.

I believe the best way to keep your yorkie safe in the car is by using a crate that you can seatbelt in. I have a pet taxi which has a place to secure it with the seat belt. I think what would happen if I rolled over and got stuck upside down? If she was tethered to something it could hang her and what about debris that could hit her?

If she is safely confined in the crate and the crate is seatbelted in she wouldn't be thrown all over the place and would be protected from anything flying around the car in an accident. I know she would like to sit somewhere where she could look out the window but for me her safety takes priority.

We use the my buddy lookout doubled with a dogo harness. It works very well especially with the harness. The straps that came with the carseat were had rather heavy metal clips. They were easy to replace. The dogo harness is great, because of the construction you are able to use the adjustable legnth as a nice lead to attatch to a seatbelt or whatever strap or clip the carseat comes with. Make sure you measure properly before making your purchase. GWlittle has a great demo video on their site www.gwlittle.com. Good luck!
