Here's the finicky princess

What about driver and passenger airbags? does the console carrier keep them safe in case of a collision and airbag deployment?

I just got my Console Lookout today and Sissy took right to it. She fits comfortably inside and laid right down with her little paws and head over the end.

Also, if you go directly to the Snoozer website, the small console states for small dogs up to 8 lbs. Sissy is just 4, and fits secure in the seat without lots of room - so if you have a do much bigger than 6 lbs, you would need the larger console seat.

I do not believe most cars have airbags in the center of the front seat - just in front of the driver and passenger seats. And there is no warning about airbags with this seat like there are with others that go right into the seat.

Thanks for posting this! I feel like a bad mom when I let Diamond sit in my lap while I am driving but she always has to be near me, unless she starts to get fidgety and that is when it gets dangerous.

Like someone else asked, what is holding the console lookout in place?

Lauren, I highly suggest you get the console car seat. It is inbetween the driver seat and the passenger seat. The seatbelts hold it in place. I have one that can hold up to 4 pounds and Tiger used it for the longest time and now Annika is enjoying it as well. When they are in it, they just want to snuggle and go to sleep . . .but easy for me to give them kisses in-between traffic light stops . . .

I just ordered the console carseat for the back as I want them together when travelling. I wish there was enough room on my SUV to accomodate the larger console lookout . . .so I had to settle for a backseat one.

Jodie, that is what both of my babies do . . .they lean their chin on the edge of the console and just "hang out" . . .When my daughter takes Tiger out of it, he would go right back in there . . just love it! I am sure Sissy will love it too and be safe at the same time.

I know my SUV does not have the airbag in the center . . .

Sorry for all the questions but does it come with seatbelts? I am assuming you just attach the seatbelts to the console somehow.

There is one strap that goes around the console and then two other straps that goes between the seat and back of the driver (and passenger) seat and then hook together to hold it tightly in place. It is somewhat difficult to get the straps through the seats, but the good news is they are attached to the carseat by a loop sewn into it so if you need to remove the console, you can keep these straps in place!!

Sissy also really likes being close to me and is not even content to be on my lap, but has to be in my arms. With the console seat, she can literally lay against my arm. So far, so good - she is right next to me so a much better option than being in the back seat!!

Oh yes, I so wish I could put a bigger console right next to me . That is why I am keeping my small one intact because it is still usable if only one is travelling.

There is only one drawback to this carseat . . it is a pain to put it on so I never, ever take it out. Here's a tip . . . always put a favorite blanket over it so you won't ever have to worry about getting it dirty . . .

Thanks for the clarification. I am going to order Diamond one. I think I spend more money on her than on me which is hard to believe! Yorkies are so much fun If only she would sit still for me to put in bows!

I'm thinking about getting a 2nd yorkie next month. Should I just get a larger one so both of them can fit in? Or if they are both on the smaller size (4 - 4.5 pounds) will they both fit in a smaller one?

[LuvMySissy]

Based on how Sissy fits in the smaller console seat at 4 lbs, I would get a bigger one if you are planning on putting two in it. Just make sure it will fit correctly on your console. Or with how great these prices are, get a smaller console for when just one travels with you and one of the small regular lookouts for when the two go together...

That is exactly what I did. I could not get a larger console lookout as the space between seats are limited so I got them the small lookout for the backseat that hand hold up to 19 pounds (pretty good size for a 5 pounder and hopefully a 4 pounder when Annika is full grown). I make couplers so that is what I plan to do since the small lookout only comes in one hook. I am retaining the console lookout for when only one needs to travel with me (like to the vet).
