This is the third seat I’ve purchased. My first pup just passed and I use it for my new puppy. My 13 year old loves his chair! Still olives great and of course I’ve washed them… which holds its quality and plushness. chair height helps them see out the window or stick their heads out a bit too! Love the drawer in front for storage or toys, EMPTY poop bags or treats… great quality for small dogs under 15 lbs.This car seat allows my dog to look out the window while laying down. It is easy to install and is very safe if an accident is to occur. The outer shell is easy to take off and put on and cleaned up in the washing machine nicely. I let it air dry and it did not shrink. Great product.My mom recommended this for my dog. He’s able to look out the window and ride and comfort so he fusses Less! He seem to really enjoy this bed!My Cinnamon loves her car seat . She loves she can see out the side window, back window and even the front window too.I have a 25 lb American Cocker spaniel. This fits her just right. We go on vacations and she is able to stretch out and be comfortable. It's easy for her to get into.. We like this product.Lola can see out very well.I had already ordered and returned others for not looking true to photo and or the piping being incredibly sloppy. Also, I looked through pet stores at colors. Time was ticking while doing this becuase my dog had grown so much the poor thing was taking long car rides with her rear end falling out of the one I had grabbed off craigslist when I first got her. She's pretty tall and long but loves these things so she'd rather lay in one too small than none at all. Herringbone is always the cheapest one. So I stayed away from it thinking it must really be bad becuase the others were more expensive and they were certainly disappointing and frustrating me. But doing the "which color/material to choose" had to end. I decided to just order the cheapest one and I'll replace it at a later date. The cheapest at the time ended up being Herringbone.I was shocked when it arrived. The material is more sturdy then the others I had. The piping actually had a shape and it keeps that shape. The Herringbone really should be the more expensive one. It looks great in any interior and unlike the other material her fur won't stick to it so much and it's been easier to clean. (she's a working dog, she gets pretty dirty) I've had the seat for months now, it's been in at least 3 different vehicles and many adventures, it looks great. I am so glad I gave up and just ordered this one. It ended up being worth way more than the others to me and the one I am the most happy with.On a side note if you don't already own a Snoozer booster I highly recommend it. Even if, like my dog, your dog is tall or long enough to stand or stretch to see out windows. It allows them to relax and still see, have a padded place to lay down, it really breaks down on your pet getting motion sick and it breaks down their anxiety. At least that's been my experience using them through 3 dogs. Also, PLEASE keep your pet safe and use the loop Snoozer gives you to attach to your CAR harness (not walking harness) to the seat belt. Stay away from boosters that have you attach your pet to the booster and not the car's seat belt.More info... since I've been through keeping 3 dogs safe this is what I know. A car safety harness is different than a regular harness. Do NOT attach the loop to your dog's collar or even a walking harness. The car harness at the very least should be padded in the front or cover a large area. It should not simply be belts like a regular harness. Bones will break in an impact. I actually do not use Snoozer's harness myself, I use another brand but it's always hooked up to the loop Snoozer provides and to then the seat belt. I unlatch her entire car harness when she gets out and simply latch it back on when she gets in becuase she is a working dog. It's super simple. One day she has a special walking harness, other days she's wearing her packs. As a person with a working dog I go through a lot of equipment. If I can take the extra few seconds to use a car harness, you certainly can.Using this booster or at the very least using a loop to the seat belt on your car's seat (which you can get at the pet store for a few bucks) is the best way to make sure your dog is not thrown out, against an object or person or is freely floating around a vehicle during an accident. I cringe when I see people with their pet on their laps or have them freely sitting in a booster. Or, sitting behind a cage in the very back of the car with out anything securing them to the vehicle. You are not doing your pet any favors. Accidents happen. Even small ones in an instance like that could kill your pet. Ejecting your dog out a window will not be pretty. Keep them safe and happy. They make you happy and in most instances, keep you safe too. Return the favor.I purchased this car seat back in May (2019) but decided not to do a review until we started actually using it. Our puppy was born on May 3rd, and we brought him home on June 28th, and we've been using this car seat ever since. It's a double car seat meant for too little small dogs (like a poodle, a maltese, a yorkie, etc.). After searching the Internet for MONTHS looking for a car seat that would accommodate a larger dog, I was ready to give up. They are just NOT OUT THERE, and I'm not sure why. Doesn't everybody want to secure their dog in the car knowing that if they ever got into an accident, that their dog would be safe? Also, it elevates your dog so they can look out the windows. I never could figure out why our last dog (who was also a Dalmatian) would whine and cry every time he rode in the car. I finally have come to the conclusion that it was because when he was laying down In the back seat, he couldn't look out the windows. This seat elevates your dog so that whether they're sitting up, or laying down, they can look out the windows and see what's going on around them. Since it's built to accommodate 2 small dogs, roughly 15 to 20 pounds each, maybe even 25 pounds each, if you double that, it can accommodate a single dog whose 40 to 50 pounds comfortably. We usually always read reviews before making a purchase. One reviewer had a bulldog that weighed 58 pounds, and I really liked her review and it was her review that sealed the deal for us. Her dog loved his car seat, he was thertered in it, and safe in the car. It's very light weight and we move it from car to car. I have a midsize car, and my husband has an SUV. It is quite large, so it's NOT something that would fit in your front seat, like most pet car seats. It's definitely something that you would have in your back seat, and if you have a compact car, more than likely it will take up the entire back seat. Our puppy is 4 months old in the photos, and he is now 6 months old and 40 pounds. He still fits in his car seat and he really likes it. All I do is open up the car door, and he jumps right in. Our last Dalmatian was 68 pounds. So I'm hoping that this Dalmnation will stay closer to the 50 pound mark, so we don't have to get rid of the car seat. We like it just as much as he loves it. So if you are on the fence about this car seat for your larger breed dog, don't be. I highly recommend it, and if you start your dog off using the car seat when they're young, it'll just be a normal thing every time they get in the car, they'll hop right in it.I bought this for my 18 pound miniature poodle. Bought a medium to allow him plenty of room to be comfortable on a road trip. He loved it from the moment I unpacked it in the living room. I put in a towel or another piece of sheep skin because Chewie loves to dig a nest and I didn’t want to lose the nice liner. It is extremely easy to install and put in and take out of car. (Don’t forget to unclip the little tie-down strap that attaches to your seat belt when taking the seat out of vehicle - easy to leave behind otherwise). I bought this in 2017 and it still looks brand new so has worn well. The plastic shelf in the bottom gives it a rigid and sturdy floor and is very handy.Absolutely love this booster seat. It’s larger than I expected but it provides more than enough room for my Mini Aussie who’s 38kbs. He can sit and watch outside but can also lay down and snooze. It’s one of my best purchases and I’m so glad I found it here. The price is unmatched. I shoppped around for months before finding this one. Highly recommended. I also love the hidden drawer under the seat.Update: 3 months after using it, the base area split creating a dip in the seat where the dog would lay. I’m extremely disappointed that it didn’t last more than 3 months.We and our dog love this car seat. It's really just a big block of foam, covered in a polyester fabric, the inside is faux sherpa, and there is also a little plastic drawer in the front. The seat belt goes through a notch in the back of the seat. It's very basic, but serves the purpose well. It's great for little dogs because it raises them high so they can look outside. My dog loves it, she hops right in as the car door opens. The medium size is quite large - it takes up way more than one car seat. In my Corolla, as well as my parents CX7, you can barely squish two people in the back next to the car seat. If you plan to have two people, even kids, in the back with this seat, then get the small size. The picture for this product is misleading, it actually shows the small size. My dog is an 11-lb mini poodle mix, and she really only needs half the size of this Medium seat, so we'll be getting the Small for her as well, for roadtrips where she needs to share the backseat. There is also a tether that you can use to connect the seatbelt to the dog's harness. (Never connect to a neck collar, only a back-attach harness!) The tether doesn't in any way attach to the car seat, only to the diagonal part of the seatbelt. I didn't like the tether that came with the seat, so I bought a different one. The only negative is that the tether can slide along the seat belt and gives the dog a lot of range of motion. My dog can hop out of the seat even if she's tethered. It's not usually much of an issue, because she quickly realizes why her seat is better, and hops right back in. Overall, I would highly recommend this car seat. The Snoozer I is the same thing, just without the little drawer, so that's a great option at a lower price point.My dog loves it. We are still waiting for the car to be delivered. But seeing how much he loves it, once installed in the new car, it would have alreay been his and he is used to it. I also got him the Snoozer car seat harness. I ordered a seat belt extension as with this car seat it is way too short. Hopefully with the extension he will have a little wiggle space but snug at the same time. Most of all he will be protected and secured in case of an accident. The other model car seats (non luxury) do not come with a cushion. The ones that do not do feel too hard cause of the drawer. This one although higher offers better cushioning. I will review again when the seat is installed and used in the car. Right now it serves as a very comfy bed. My dog loves it. He is 35lbs and can sleep stretched in it.We purchased this for a 4500km drive with our dog, and it has proved to be an excellent purchase. We use it in a Ram 1500 pickup and it is high enough that the dog can see out of the truck without having to sit up - which for our dog helps reduce travel anxiety and allows him to sleep when we are moving along. It seems comfortable for the dog in the middle of winter, or the heat of the summer. It is easy to secure to the vehicle with the seat belt, and comes with a handy clip to simplify attaching to the dog's harness so that in the event of an emergency the dog is helped securely in place (but has the ability to move around on the Snoozer and get comfortable).We've been using this for over 6 months now on a daily basis and would highly recommend. We also picked one up at a great prices on Amazon!
