| Which car seat is better? Hi everyone!! I am bringing home two yorkie babies on the 24th. I am sooo excited!!!... Anyway it's a 3 hour car ride to bring them home. I was going to get the oversized Lookout II car seat but I found a web site for a car seat called the FidoRido which also has a model for two dogs. Both at about the same price.....does anyone have any experience with these brands and could you recommend one? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!........... |

| Hi I just bought a seat very similiar to the fidorido from petsmart for $59 it looks almost exactly like that, except on the bottom 2 legs pull out to make it even taller + a food & water bowl attaches to the front + the seat lifts for extra storage, it is the plastic like that & has a fleece mat easy to wash/clean & the seat belt runs thru + a clip to attaches to harness. It is really nice, its not on the website, I had never seen anything like it, I really like. I've had several others & used once/stuck them on ebay. Out of the 2 you asked about I vote the fidorido, but suggest making a trip to petsmart to check out this one it looks like it has more features + cheaper. Good Luck on the seat & congrats on the puppies Ps to keep pups in a seat it will probably have to be enclosed, so you may just use a larger carrier at first. |

| go for the lookout i prefer the lookout. they can see out the window better. i was in a serious car accident and my car was totalled. romeo was in a lookout and didn't have a scratch. i know from experience that the lookout saved his life.

| Good Morning! I have 2 yorkies and the Lookout (the bigger one) is working WONDERFULLY for us. There are several good threads on this subject. You can search for them and check them out,

| The lookout is the best I think. It is soft and roomy for two if you get the bigger one.

| FidoRido I don't know anything about the lookout. I have the FidoRido and I LOVE it. When I was shopping for car seats I needed one big enough for Max and Abbie--they are my little 'teapots.' Max is 11 lbs and Abbie is 14 lbs and I was concerned that the other car seats would not fit both of them comfortably. The FidoRido seemed to have enough space and there are 2 harnesses to keep them strapped in. I've had it for 2 years and have not had any problems

| Car seat I dont know about the other carseats, but I love mine. I have a wheeled carrier/carseat and I dont go anywhere without it. It has side pockets-zips closed so Bebe can see all around it belts into the car and is airline approved. If interested check out my link for my details |

No Longer a Member | i have this one: Console lookout at Dog.com. They make a larger one that fits two dogs and has a drawer in it. Chloe loves her lookout. She sits next to me and gets to go with me when I pick up the kids from school. As we're waiting for the kids to come out, she can watch the kids walk by, and she gets so excited to see all the people. |

I do like the way that the lookout is deep so they basically have to set down into it instead of on top of it plus I have a vehicle that doesn't have much head room the way that it is modeled. Thanks for the info!!!.......... | |

bren....thats great!!! I do like the FidoRido but my pups are not going to weigh that much fully grown so it may be better with the lookout for them. It also has a harness attachment for safety. Thanks for the input!!!!......... | |
