Here's the car seat I use. My girls each have one - they can see out and it doesnt have the straps going across the front that they can chew on or can't see around. I love it!! And the ebay seller is fantastic!!! quick shipping

I had thought about those, but can your girls lay down in it or only sit up?
I'm just wondering for longer car trips if that would work or not.
Thanks!

Took a look at your first to picks....The first one my son has for his dog....not really comfortable....very hard. The 2nd one doesn't appear to have the padded protection or comfort of a look out. If you shop around, pet edge, cherry brook and other pet suppliers you can find the Look Out much cheaper.

Thank You, I will check those sites out. I liked the idea of the one being a bed and suitcase, but I was wondering about the comfort compared to the lookout.

Ha, ha! No, it's not pretty, just functional!

My girls are tiny so yes they can lay down and even when they get to be about 4-5 lbs they should be able to lay down. These do come in larger sizes too!

Not sure if you ordered your stroller yet...I have the same one....love everything about it except it is a bit difficult to get zipped up! Could be a better design But I do like it and I can take it out of the trunk or put it back with one hand! Thats a plus!
however, this link a couple bucks cheaper and shipping is free - if the other site didn't offer free shipping, this would be worth it for you.

My carseat is the lookout with the drawer underneath...both girls fit in fine, sitting or laying and I just bought a second harness clip

We were at puppy class yesterday at Petsmart and they had the stroller and you are right, the zipper is a little tricky. It's so easy to get up and down though and it seems to glide nice! We thought about the expensive three wheel all terrain one, but that doesn't lay flat at all and is kind of clunky.
Thanks for the link, I'm trying to find the best deal on it!

Do you have the Lookout 1, 2 or the Buddy one?
Thanks!

I picked up a lookout used from e-bay. Just the basic one, no storage.

It came yesterday and though we haven't had it in the car yet----Milo has been in and out of it. Even got up in it and took a nap.

So I am sure he's going to love it.

He's not a car dog and I had to make a trip back to my NH house this past week---about 4 hours. I rigged something similer to the lookout with a pillow and one of his beds and even clipped his harness to the SB strap.

It really made the trip easier for him. When he got tired of watching out the window he just flopped down and slept.

Did you get the smaller size or the larger size? Wrigley is just a hair over 4lbs and I want to make sure for long trips she can sleep in it. I'm also hoping that at times our 15lb Yorkie Poo can use it. She's terrible in the car! The smaller one says up to 18lbs and the larger one 25lb, but that doesn't always mean everything.
Thanks!

I believe it's the smaller one--Milo is almost 5 lbs and can def curl up and sleep with room to spare-----I will take a pic of him in it later and you can see how much room he has and that might help.

Oh that would be great! It's hard trying to decide, I think new there is a $20-30 difference in the two sizes and I'm just wondering if it's worth it or not.
Thank You!!
