Carseat out of a Canvas basket,it can be done!
 

Since getting a new furbaby and taking him to the vet twice,I started searching for a carseat that could fit at least two dogs.I only found two that I liked . The first one was over $100 and the other was ok but all hard plastic from PetSmart for $60. I headed to Walmart (My second home) and looked for things like a crate or basket that I could turn into a carseat. I wanted to cover it,add seat belt strap holders and also a Coupler which is two leash hooks that can be used. I measured my car seat and I knew it had to be at least 16-17 inches high and 15 inches wide. I found a canvas basket at Walmart for $8.88! Perfect for this! Got some quilted fabric and two paw print appliques. Made a super thick pillow with my favorite "minky fabric"
I put Cookie's harness on and he was just sitting there so cute!
Now I can put Angel safely there when I take him to the Vet. Last time I took him , I almost got off the road because he squirms so much on my lap!
The carseat I made straps all the way around and it won't move an inch.
Total cost about $25 and 2 hrs of figuring out how to make it lol My daughter saw it and turned around rolling her eyes! lol She said " What's next?! lol
This was on my list of must haves.Now Now our furbabies can look out the windows on car rides and I don't have to worry!

Awesome! Great job!!:thumbup: :thumbup:

you should start marketing these :) i would def buy one!!!

That is so awesome, it looks like one you would buy online. You done a wonderful job, I think I will make one for mine. It is cheaper than buying one, huh!!

Looks GREAT! Good job:)

I agree you need to start to market these. I cant sew much and personally would love to have one big enough for two. I found some I like but they are so expensive and to be honest yours seem better made!!!

If I had more time I would def make these :( I just make clothes . The basket I used looks like this one in the pic.

OMG! That is so awesome!

I just got a sewing machine and am just messing around with it trying to figure stuff out, but I'm gonna make one (by hand) I think. What a great idea, thanks for sharing!

I LOVE that, you did a great job! I would definitely buy one of these from you if you made them and sold them!:thumbup:

wow!!!!!!! i am jealous :) I have been trying to come up with a way to make a car seat but I am NOT creative at all so I have almost given up LOL

looks great. How did you attach the harness things again??

That is great. You are very creative

That's beautiful, I'm going to try and find them here at WM & make a couple.:animal-pa

that looks so pro! very nice. What a smart idea.

A while back, someone posted they made one out of a plastic bin...

Very clever.

oh my gosh!! That is too cute and perfect for a car!!! I have not sewn in years but I might have to try this!! Only need to find someone with a sewing machine!!! What type of car do you have as I am sure this is important so the baby can see out the window...too cute...Now if you decide to take orders from your fellow Yorkie Talk Mates..( hint hint) Let me know cause I am there with my order...A blue one for a Boy!!! LOL Great Job

That is amazing, I would buy one from you if you made these to sell, that is beautiful!
