Ok, so based on so many positive feedback on the Snoozer...I caved and order 2 from Petsmart. I ordered the following:

Oversized Lookout - PETCO.com

I couldn't follow the link you posted, but I think you will really like the seats! I'm very happy I got one for Thor.

Someone posted that you should turn of the passenger side airbag? I feel like if Thor is in his seat, he is almost engulfed in it, so the airbag would be good, not bad. Is this wrong? Also, I've been wondering if the hook into his harness would truly withstand a crash. It seems more than strong enough to keep Thor from throwing himself out the window, but it seems like it would probably open if a lot of pressure were applied to it. Opinions?

I bought two Pet voyager car seats for my Yorkies from Hunter K9 and they're great! Easy to attach and unattach and the yorkies can see out the windows!!

I am letting mine sleep in the Pet Gear Car Seat I bought so they will be used to it when I put it in the car. At first I thought it did not come up enough on the sides, but when they get in they sort of sink into the pillow, so it is fine. It is very well made, easy to install with the seat belt, had a color to match my interior, was half the price of comparable sized Snoozer, has a removable cover for cleaning, and the dogs like it -- so I am happy so far! I'll post after a few months of use to see how it holds up.

I have 3 of the Snoozer's for my 3 -girls and I couldn't travel without them!

The best thing about them is that they seat your precious package high enough that they can actually peek out the windows of your car or they can cuddle up in their (faux?) lambs wool lined seat for a nap if they want.

The covers are easy to remove for washing (God Forbid!) somebody barfs...or worse!

Happy travels!

Hi, does that fits in a regular car? it looks kind of big

We travel alot with the girls. I had gotten a Snoozer seat for Chloe' when she was the only one. She is my puker......but as long as she is in her booster, she doesn't.

Last month I ordered the large for both of them to sit in. We used it for them and it worked out great. This month, we took 2 boys along to Canada and there wasn't room for the large seat, so they were just on the seat, buckled up....well, Chloe' puked all the way home.......it made for a very long 12 hr. trip.

You won't be sorry that you got them...they are the best!!

I bought the large and it fits in both the front and back seat of my Envoy (a smaller SUV). It also comes in a small and medium size if you need it smaller. I wanted one that both of mine could fit in comfortably and see out as they ride. I could have gotten by with the medium but with the large, they can both lay down easily, even when they aren't in the mood to lay on each other.

So I finally got around to using the Snoozer yesterday -- the Oversized Lookout -- and fortunately I had a towel on it because Ori puked. It was mostly clear liquid and I believe it was the water he drank prior. In a few days we'll be heading to Virgina for the YT meet-up and I have feeling it's going to be a loooooooooooooooooong ride going there and back. I've asked the vet if I can give him something before the trip and she suggested that I give him a little Pediatric Benadryl about 1-2 hours before the ride.

Oh poor little Ori. I would try to limit their intake of food and water just prior to the trip. Definitely try and feed them early on if you can. Maybe you can hold water and when you make a pit stop, give it to them sparingly. Maggie still gets queasy. On our last boating trip we discovered that if take a break and slow down when she starts to lick her lips she can gather herself and get through it. Good luck in the trip, I'm debating whether or not give her Bonine (sp?). Another yt member gives this to hers and she's not had any problems. I know that I'll hit rush hour traffic the time that I'll be driving. See you in a couple of days!
