Pet Gear Console Booster Seat - YorkieTalk.com Forums

lil louis · 12-10-2009, 06:35 AM

Does anyone have this car seat for your furbaby? It is the kind that goes on the console. I found one that I want to order for Louis, I just want to know some reviews on it. It says it holds up to 6 pounds, and Louis weighs about 5 pounds. If you have one, please let me know what you think about it. I am trying to figure out how it works on the console. Thanks!

I JUST purchased this one on eBay, Pet Gear Large LookOut Dog Car Safety Booster Seat 25lb - eBay (item 180426800325 end time Dec-30-09 11:59:40 PST) It was on sale so I'd check that out before spending more money... but anyways, I haven't got it yet so I will let you know how I like it. Everyone's reviews here on YT seemed to LOVE it!

I have read online that some people thought the small was too small... even for their tiny dogs. I'd opt to go one size up (it's only $10 more) so she can be more comfy and lay down more.

I was going to get that one, then I found the one that "Britster" bought and I go that one. I have had it now for about.... 4 months and I love it!! I think the booster is safer than the console one.. Seems more comfy to me. Peanut loves his booster seat!! I have had no problems with it. I even put a blanket in there so he is xtra cozy!!

What size did you get, and how big Peanut?

You will have to let me know if you like it. How much did you pay for yours? I found the small one for $33 on overstock and they offer no shipping. I don't know how much the medium was.

*I meant overstock offers free shipping

Max has been using his PetGear booster seat (large) for 2 weeks and he loves it.

He weighs 8.0 pounds -- and he can curl up in the corner of the seat, which accommodates 2 dogs.

I want to make sure that I order the right size. I was going to order a small, but now I am not so sure..........it would go on my console so I don't want it to be too big.

You definitely need advice from someone with the seat specifically designed for the console -- my guess is that the one you are looking at would be great for 5-pound Louis.

I chose the large only because I knew that I was going to use the back seat of my car.

Maximo · 12-10-2009, 01:02 PM

Amending my last post -- Britster commented above that some people with tiny dogs have said that the small is too small -- so, yes, definitely confer with someone who has a console seat in small/medium.

I paid about $70 including shipping but I got the large and it says up to 25lb dogs. Jackson is 13lbs almost so I wanted him to have room to lay down and be comfy. Technically, he would have fit in the medium which was $10 cheaper. I looked overstock and couldn't find the size large for any cheaper than $70! I'm excited to get it.

Should arrive tomorrow.

I bought the Med one. Peanut is 4lbs. I was going to get the small, but he likes to be cozy have room so I got the Med. I think the Med is perfect!!

Britster · 12-11-2009, 12:34 PM

The seat arrived today - thank God I got the large! I don't think he would have fit in the Medium. lol. In this seat, he can lay down and sit comfortably. We haven't taken it for a ride yet though. We'll see how he does. He's not used to being confined so, he may throw a fit.
