Frisco Travel Lounger & Bolster Dog Bed, Black

I was excited to receive this bed and I saw it had good ratings from people who received it free. But from someone who paid full-price, it did not live up to it's potential or what I'd hoped. I planned to use it in the car for our 55 lb dog, with the ability to transfer it to a hotel/overnight lodging. Pros--fit well in the seat, wipeable, seems comfy, easy to carry/transport (tho bulky). Snaps make nice little bolster sides. Cons---it's very slippery and slides off the seat unless belted in, which might work (watch the video). However, for her safety, I use a seat belt attachment that hooks to her harness so the buckle insert is already being used. The tether that's included (sewn to the cushion) is a joke. It's thin, the latch is sized for a cat and I'm not even sure what it's intended for other than to make it difficult for the dog to turn around and reposition. It certainly isn't to be depended on an accident. The latch was too small to fit on my dog's collar ring anyway. So you have to have a safe method for securing your dog and the highest crash rated ones use the selt belt through a vest. Again, you wouldn't be able to use the seat belt for roping this cushion down if it's being used for securing your dog safely. The back flap flops down on my dog. It would have been so easy to include a strap that would go around the seat back and clip onto the clips that are already sewn to the lounger (for when you close it up and transport it). I saw a picture where someone removed their headrest then put it back over the lounger handle, but I couldn't get my headrest out. So the back pillow did not stay up. Yes, the cushion part is removable because it can't be attached, even temporarily while in use. Some Velcro would do wonders and if I were going to use this, I'd probably put some on. I carried it out to the car, only to realize I'd dropped the pillow portion on the ground (it was folded up, but not strapped up). Once the dog was on it in the car, it still slipped when she moved, unless the sides of the lounger are up and snapped. But then it's a little tight for her. I was hoping to keep at least two flaps down. Our dog is 55 lbs and the cushion is square and not big enough for her. I also bought the seat "extender" box to place on the floor behind the seat in front, which was a must for us or the dog and the cushion slid off the seat. It's just so slippery and slick. Include a seat strap or something to secure it to the seat back (or sides) which is not seatbelt dependent and make the cushion attachable and I'd be more enthused. But without those two things, it's not going to see use as a car travel seat cushion/bed--the reason I bought it. I'll stick with a plain dog mat and towel and probably still use the seat extender box becuase that makes sense (though when traveling, I usually put a duffle or two there or a cooler, as that is valuable packing space. But for day trips/errands, it's nice to have). I tried to get fancy with this!
