| Wow looks interesting but $$$!!! $685.00 for the xsmall single crate. I have a Bowser car seat which I secure with it's tether, the seatbelt, and additional bungee cords so it doesn't fly around and then I secured another leash to the car and then attach that to Buster's harness. My concern about the crate is the crate survives but what about a little dog being thrown around and impacting the crate in a crash? Do you secure the crate to keep it from moving around in the cargo area or back seat?

Any kind of dog car seat provides little or no protection in a car accident. Most dog harnesses fail in impact testing and all a dog car seat does is elevate a dog who happens to be wearing a harness. (BTW I posted in the thread about car safety that dogs should never ride in the front seat of a car but for some reason my post has not appeared on this website). Take a look at this blog on vehicle safety and some of the videos the woman posted: It’s Not Art, It’s Scary: The Dog as Projectile | |

| This is what happens to dogs wearing seatbelts - . You think you're doing right by your dog - and go through the effort strapping them in - and then this: Sad and very scary! |

It goes in the cargo area behind the back seat. | |

Edit: I see now that the connector broke. What product is this?

| I switched to the seat belt strap a few years ago and swear by them. There is no way it's going to come out of the seat belt lock any more than the one I use for myself. Just make sure you use a good harness designed for car traveling because they protect the sternum.

| Hi All! I don't know if folks here know this but the Center for Pet Safety posted their new test results (and NAMED NAMES!). The winner was the Sleepypod clickit harness. Someone here said she used the Snoozer. According to this report - DO NOT USE THAT Product. It didn't even make it to the sled testing! You can see the complete results on their webpage http://centerforpetsafety.org/wp-con...mary_final.pdf |

| Tibbe uses his hardshell airline carrier, buckled in with his larger plush toys inside and he's safe from flying through the car or air bags taking him out.

| We have a sleepypod and have been happy with it. We don't have the harness that was reviewed, but the sleepypod is very well made. While we are driving, I like having her enclosed in there. We put a blanket and toys, but the inside is a very soft plush material. |

| for me, I pre-ordered a Variocage. Mighty mite is going to have one just for little dogs! I told them I wanted them to contact me as soon as they come in. The woman I spoke to said they would be around for Christmas. I've been looking for so long I'll just be happy my search is over. Not a lot of good ideas out there for transporting little dogs! (I like the Sleepypod but it's just too short for my dogs). http://www.mightymitedoggear.com/MIM...Car_Crate.html (there's no picture up yet - but there's info on top about the preorder you can call the company to order yours) |

| This is the harness that passed the Center for Pet Safety Testing - hear it will be available for purchase through the company website soon if any one is interested? |
