Pet Gear Large Car Booster

First installed in front seat- I have a 2021 Kia Sportage- it does not fit flush on bucket seats. The bed portion is quite shallow not providing a safe barrier unless you drive 10MPH and don’t hit any bumps or turns. The tether straps are very cheap and did not fit my 22lb Frenchies harness. The clasps were to small. The foam is very hard and was equivalent to a cardboard box. The height was perfect if your dog likes to look out the window. But would not recommended unless you have a teacup or very small fur baby. I was disappointed after reading reviews and purchasing this item. It also was received with three large stains on the 1/2 inch cushion or piece of fabric they call a cushion.

I had a different one that hung from the top of the car seat. Poorly made, uncomfortable and expensive. I saw this one on chewy and purchased immediately. My Dachshund loves it. He can see out the window and can easily stretch out to sleep.

We bought this seat for our senior Dachshund, Fred last month. We were moving from RI to GA and it was going to be a two day trip. Fred hates car rides. We needed him to be comfortable and safe, and as the driver of the vehicle he was traveling in, I needed to be safe also. This seat was perfect! Six days ago we adopted another dachshund and we are purchasing a second seat for him, too.

I drive a mini JCW S. The bucket seats are narrow, making a basket-style sky box useless. This booster puts the weight on the seat and the seatbelt underneath keeps it secure. My anxious rescue liked it immediately. Took the pillow out for depth. He can sit up and see out or doze. Fig Newton is 16.5lbs and about 19 inches head to tail. Large is perfect.

I love this booster but it didn’t work for us. Full size Boston Terrier in a 2021 Subaru Forester. Sam is too tall in this booster. Great width, material. I need something 3-4” shorter. Purchased and returned October 2021.

Since we drive frequently on a fairly long car ride with our two senior dogs, I finally decided to move the dogs from my lap to a booster/car seat. I had read the reviews which stated that for the first time ever, people's dogs were finally comfortable in the car by sitting in this car seat. I was hopeful - but doubtful - that my 13 year old yorkie/shih tzu mix who has hated the car since birth, would be comfortable riding in the car seat. Much to my surprise - and delight- she lays down the entire time and I do not hear a peep from her! I honestly thought she would be climbing out of it trying to get to my lap. Instead, she "dozes" for the entire 1.5 hour ride.

I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. … more

I was so very hopeful that this car seat bolster would work for my medium (25#) pug. I was tired of loading and unloading his metal crate so I wanted a seat that would be comfortable and closer to me! The concept is great. It is secured into the seat by buckling. I put Jango in it and attached the tether straps to his harness and as another reviewer stated, the clasps don’t fit well on the ring of the harness. At first he just sat there but as I took off driving he starts trying to turn and adjust into the seat, only to get “hung up” with the tether straps on his harness. Worse, after I got him untwisted, he tries to jump out of it, but luckily into the actual seat and not the floor.

I had to immediately pull off the road and help him because he was scared and struggling. He couldn’t get back into the booster seat and was essentially “hung” by the back of his harness. Unfortunately, this won’t work for us because I had to constantly watch him and “fix” him! Too bad because I like this seat! (Added a photo of him just after I got him situated back into the seat and he looks happy at the moment!) … more

I bought two of these for my Boston Terriers. One is 18 lbs. and the baby is already 20 lbs. at 7 months old! They fit into the large seat well with room to lay down if they prefer. I found that leaving the cushion in the seat raised them up too high and they would tumble out of the seat at times. Taking the cushion out and putting a thin pad in the seat instead made it just right. I also didn't care for the thin tether that secured them to the seat. I used a stronger tether that goes over the headrest of the seat of the car and attached that to their harness to secure them and it works great. They love being able to look out the window now when we go on trips!

This booster was just what I was expecting. I ordered a large one for my 6 lb. Miniature Schnauzer. I think this is intended for small dogs and puppies that just need that extra boost to be able to look out the window, as well as being secured in your car. Let your doggie get familiar with it before installing it in your vehicle. Although my puppy likes to chew, he doesn’t mess with his seat. He either sits or lays down. I added a small blanket for his comfort. He will grow to be about 12-15 lbs. but should be able to use it still if needed.

This seat is quite big and does not fit in an suv sit properly when you try to buckle the seat belt. My 30 lbs 8 month old Frenchie loved being able to finally look out the window.
