The Dog Loves It

On: 2008-11-01

I am glad that I purchased the Extra-Large seat. My dog is 15 lbs and loves sitting in the seat. The x-large allows her to lay down if she chooses, which she often does. She never has any trouble sitting up and looking out the window. I replaced a blow up air cushion seat with this one because the dog didnt sit on the air cushion one.

Good car seat for smaller dogs

We have a (slightly overweight) 30-pound mixed dog and we purchased this extra large booster seat for him a couple of weeks ago. The seat was easy to assemble and easy to install using a headrest to secure it. Instead of our dog being all over the place in the car, he stays in the seat where he belongs! But because the bottom of the car seat does not sit directly on the seat, it "bottoms out." We had to add a cushion under the seat to prevent this. Smaller, lighter, dogs probably wouldnt cause the bottom to sag. Overall, a good seat and wed recommend it.

Finally found the right one

My Norwich Terrier is 13 pounds, but very stocky, and previous booster seats were far too small for him, despite being labeled for up to 20 pounds. He can lie down in this one and the method of support via the bottom gives him a much more unobstructed view. It fits easily on a back bench seat as well as a front bucket seat, essential for trips with my husband. We did a three-hour drive recently and Izzy was able to easily see out the window for as long as he wants and then curl up for a nap. I strongly recommend using this with a harness rather than just a collar. This could easily fit two sub-10 pound dogs like Poms or Yorkies, etc. and comes with two harness straps, which is a really nice touch.

Traveling made easier

We purchased the ex large deluxe seats for both our dogs (that weigh abt. 13 lbs.) They worked out well. Gave them the ability to sleep too. We had to replace a few of the hooks (with S hooks) since the ones that were on broke almost right away.Questionable, since these seats were for dogs weighing 40lb.? The fabric is soft inside & out. We elivated with small pillows, so they could see out comfortable. Our purchase was made through KV Vet.(excellent). Even though we had a minor repair they are worth having. Our little ones really enjoy road trips now...

She likes it!

On: 2008-07-09

We had a tiny problem with the assembly. There was a piece that was supposed to be attached to something else which wasnt...but we made it work. The size is fine for my small (28 pound) cocker spaniel.

The miracle is that she actually likes it. The only time she ever complained was once when she had gotten the little tether thing up under her armpit. I felt bad because I was saying "no, now be quiet." Now, if she complains, I check to be sure she hasnt gotten herself in an uncomfortable position.

I just leave it in my mini-van all the time. There was no problem getting her used to it. In a short time, when wed go out to the car, shed be trying to climb up into it all by herself. She knows thats her spot.

Best of all, shes not crawling all over me while Im trying to drive, put on makeup, talk on my cell phone, and drink coffee all at the same time. :)

A Very Solid Dog Seat

On: 2008-04-23

We have 2 Aussie terrier pups that will ultimately grow to 18+ pounds. We tried the Kyjen Outward Hound but was disappointed in how the front of the seat collapses while installed. The Kyjen is rated to 20 pounds, but I wouldnt trust it. This product by Solvit is far more substantial and will hold the specified claimed weight, but I dont know why a 40# dog would even need a car seat to look out. If for a smaller dog, there is plenty of room for sleeping. The seat is easily installed/removed and collapses easily. The only negative point is the lack of color selection by the manufacturer. If you like beige/light gray, your dog will enjoy this seat.

best purchase for my two small dogs

what a comfort for my 2 wiener dogs <*()=;======;~~
they both can look out the window together and are confined to
one area of the vehicle.
**** This is not a safety seat it is a booster seat.

great booster seat for medium sized dogs

i had a hard time finding a booster seat for my 32-lb french bulldog as most dog booster seats are for dogs <25 lbs. this seat has worked out really well. also, the lining washed well after an especially dirty time at the park. and customer service was friendly and responded quickly when i contacted them by email.
