You can buy extra harness straps seperately. I'm not sure if GW Little carries the extra straps or not. I've seen them online though, and I know Pet Supplies Plus carries them.

Thanks. Found it at another website. The Buddy car seat dimensions are:
19" H x 30" W x 17" D (for pets up to 35 lbs).

I was thinking about getting the my buddy one too. After hearing good reviews I might have to order it now. They have it on sale at petco.com right now with free shipping.

Good price but that one is not the luxury model, only comes in black or green.

I just have to say the second picture of your Lola is so precious!

We bought the one with the little compartment in the bottom to store things like a water bottle and treats. My only complaint is that the personalized seat belt harnesses that they sell to go along with the car seats are WAY TOO BIG!!! I asked my family to get me them for both Tino and Lola for Christmas and they are so big that both of my babies slide right out of them. Tino is 7 pounds and Lola is 3 pounds. Hope this helps.

P.s. Tino wanted me to tell you that it is great for long car rides too because he gets his own side to sleep on and his little sister Lola gets her own side too...so she doesn't have to sleep on top of him...even thought she still tries to! haha!

p.s.s We have both and SUV and a small sports car and the seat works great in both cars!

It is HUGE!! I have two teapots (both are 12 lbs) and they both fit in it, probably could get another one in there too.
It's very soft and comfy, but mine hate it with a passion, but they like it better than a crate. It has these straps you hook onto the seatbelt and the other end hooks to their harness. This does allow it to have some play in it, because it can slide along the seat belt. It has a nice drawer underneath for storage, too.
But it is really, really big

Also, forgot to mention, it is humongous!!

So are you trying to tell me that it's BIG? LOL Seriously, it didn't look that huge in the picture but I'm glad you mentioned this! I honestly DID NOT realize it was that gigantic I'm sure I will be shocked when I see it's size in person, but I actually don't think I will mind it's huge size. I drive a Tahoe so there are no issues with not having enough room in the back seat, and being that it is so big, it will almost be like a big couch for my little babies They will have lots of room to just lay down, relax, and be comfy

As I was telling someone in a PM, my Tahoe has the 3rd row seating so if that car seat takes up the whole first back seat and someone tags along with me in the car, I will just put them in the 3rd row seat in the way back....cause Lord knows I am not putting my BABIES back there, lol!!!

Thank you so much for all of your help girl!

I saw the lookout seat that you mentioned and would like it if I had more seating (in a SUV) so I wouldn't have to remove it. It does look SUPER comfy and stylish! I also wish that they were cheaper... along with every else in our society right now!

Awww, yeah, I have seen those at Petsmart - in fact, we were in there tonight and I saw them I just wanted something that both of my babies could fit in, and something really, really comfortable for them This My Buddy one just looks like a big soft comfy pink couch to me, LOL. I also love the fact that you can have it monogrammed...although "Stedman and Tatum" isn't going to fit on there (it says only up to 10 characters long) so I will either have to think of something else cute to put on there, or just forget it all together

You're right, they are expensive though! Not cheap by ANY means!

However, with two teapots who like there own space, I couldn't justify buying two of these....so a couple of laundry baskets, inexpensive bed pillows & cases later, and straps from the pet store (to attach to their harnesses) and we have two matching car seats... that are completely washable. Of course, people think I'm traveling around with my laundry. But my furbutts are comfy and safe in the car and I spent about $15.

That being said, I think you'd like the lookout seat. They seemed really nice to me. Make sure you take pics if you get it!

Hey, whatever works girl!! Laundry baskets and a few blankets and pillows will do the trick too And LOL...that is so funny that you said it looks like you are traveling around with your laundry...hahaha! Hilarious

I think I really will like it....I just hope my babies do!

Ok, can I first just say that when I saw the 2nd picture you posted of Lola, I thought it was my Tatum! I cut her face hair really short like that one time and OMG she looked IDENTICAL to your Lola! I will have to see if I can find some pics of her with her hair like that on my computer and if I do I will post them Your Lola is just sooo cute and so is Mr. Tino! What adorable little ones you have!!!

Thank you so much for the info on the car seat girl! It is much appreciated! Now, when you said that the personalized seat belt harness is way too big for them - can I ask what you use on them to replace it? I am SO GLAD you told me that because I was going to order 2 of them! I watched the video on this car seat on the G.W. Little site and it said that their seat belt harnesses are the best because they are very padded and don't go as high up or something?? It said that their harnesses need to have alot of padding in case of a sudden stop. I can't remember exactly what it said but it was something along those lines lol. I didn't even know any of that until I watched the video, I was just going to use a regular 'ol harness Dummy me!

So anyway, if you could let me know what type of harness you use, I would greatly appreciate it - thanks so much girl!

The interior is very soft and plush. We have not needed to clean ours yet but it seems like it would clean up nice. The seat belt attachments have pretty heavy clips, we had to switch to our own smaller ones. They are easy to make, if you find you have the same issue pm me and I can tell you what we did. The pull out tray is super handy for extra leashes, treats and water bowls.
Other than that it is wonderful, our babies love to look out the window and see all there is to see! I recommend it. But it is big, if you drive a car I would be careful about the size!

Thank you so much for all of your help sweetie! I do LOVE the fact that they will be able to see out. Tatum I know will just lay down (after a while) as she is not one to squirm and move around alot...she just wants to feel safe and comfy, LOL. But Stedman ALWAYS has to know whats going on I know that he will love being up high and looking out the windows. I have a Tahoe and it is very big and roomy so I don't see there being a issue with the size of it, but I do thank you for letting me know!

Also they are very light weight and easy to move. To get my two used to it I brought it inside the house after every trip and let them play and nap on it. I will try to take some pictures for you if it would help as soon as I get home from work. If you want any taken from a certin angle or distance let me know! We are happy to help!

I know I personally would love to see pics! The more pics people post, the better!

Ok wait....which one do you have girl?? Can you post the link to it online? Now I am a little confused? There is a medium sized one that is comfortable enough for more than one baby? I'd love to see that one!

Does it come in pink???? LOL Stedman is going to hate me forever

I know! They look soo comfortable and we are all about comfort so I think the babies and I will love it. Does the one you have only hold one baby?
