Dog carseat question

[yorkymom1]

Hey all -

I'm thinking about getting a dog carseat for my 3 yorkies so that they are safer and higher up to enable them to better see out the window

Is there a good one out there that can actually work for all 3 that any of you have heard of or tried? (That also won;t cost an arm and a leg

thanks!

Highly recommend these car seats...I have three of the small ones for my girls. They carry a large size that might accommodate your doggies but, just be sure to measure your backseat if you decide on getting three individual ones...I have a BMW and they all fit perfectly in the back seat.

Also...these are so good for dogs with motion sickness too because the density of the foam rubber makes the seats very stable and reduces alot of jiggling around while the car is moving. They also sit high up enough to see out the side windows, too! The covers are very well made and washable, too!

I give this car seat a 5 star rating!

I agree with miabellaamoure on the snoozer seats! I have the Snoozer II with the drawer under it. Sophie LOVES it. It has really helped with car sickness and she can see out the window from either the front or back seat. She jumps right down in it and lays down when we get in the car. Plus the drawer can hold wipes, washcloths, treats, toys, etc. for longer trips.

Great. thanks! I'll have to check this out.
I have two skin kids of my own so I can't really get three individual seats
...but the large buddy one might work. It says it holds two or more dogs but I can't tell how many straps it has? Will I be able to strap all three in?

Anyone has that specific model?

The My Buddy (the one you are talking about) would be more than enough room for 3 Yorkies and I think it has 2 straps. Since you have more than 2 dogs, you can use a coupler to have all 3 in it.

I also have 3 and have been looking for a car seat. I am wondering if the medium size would fit b/c I still want to have the option of having it in my front seat and the MyBuddy would be too big. Anyone else put 3 in a medium Snoozer OR a PetGear Large (they are pretty much the same exact size) and have them fit/lay down comfortably?

I ended up measuring out the My Buddy seat and decided it was just too big for my back seat. It was either the kids or the yorkies. I had to choose the kids
I'd love to hear if the medium one would work with three though. That would fit with my kids! But can we get it to work with three harnesses?
Hmmm....
anyone?

I think we are in the same boat. Except I don't have kids right now (foster mom).... so I looked up the measurements of the exterior/interior of the Lookout 2 (same as 1) and I have a bed that is the same measurements (not height just length and width)... so I just gathered them up and put them in the bed (please excuse the wild hair and poor picture quality (cell phone))... I don't know how big your babies are but mine are: 4lb, 12lb - she should be 8lb, and 6lb. So its 20ish lbs of puppy love.

What do you think - think it will work? They do like to snuggle when sleeping.

I have 2 snoozer car seats and love them both! I have the smaller and the medium sized ones. Love them!

Hmm. the site I'm looking at has two widths for the Lookout 2.
Which are you looking at?
I'm actually now leaninf towards possibly get the snoozer console for my alpha dog and possibly the 15"W Lookout 2 for the two pups...they are charting out to be 5-6 lbs as adults so it would be a max of 12lbs. I'm still not sure how you get another safety harness though so i can make the lookout 2 into a 2 dog carseat?

This is the one I am looking at MEDIUM - 22" x 17" x 19" - Pets up to 25 lbs. There is a small, medium, and then a My Buddy. If you want to hold more dogs, you can just use a coupler to the tether to secure more than one dog.
