PetSafe Happy Ride Deluxe Booster Seat

My chihuahua always rides in the back seat and puts his front paws on the arm rest to stick his head out the window, so his center of gravity is down pretty low compared to the open window. After installing this booster seat in the front passenger seat we went for a test drive. Sitting up so high scared him, I think, because he didn't even look out the window. He just stared at me the whole time like he does when I put his sweater on, as if to say "I don't like this. Stop it now." I then lowered the booster seat gradually over the next few days, and even when the bottom was resting on the passenger seat his response was the same, so it didn't work for Rico.

That doesn't mean your dog won't like it and that's why I still gave it 5 stars. It was easy to install and is well made. Instead of trying to return it, I passed it on to my neighbor. Yesterday I saw her driving down the street with her miniature schnauzer sitting up high in the front passenger seat and looking out the window, barking its head off. … more

I purchased for my 6-8 lb puppy to better secure her in my car. She loves riding in the basket. The leash hook may be a tad short particularly for larger dogs but, since she lays down, not a problem in my case. In fact, a longer leash hook might cause other problems if long enuf to jump out of the basket. In my Grand Cherokee, the basket sits low, essentially on the car seat, because of the shape of the car seat itself. For cars whose seats whose sides are more straight, the seat could be raised.

Genious! Finally, I am at ease traveling with my 15 lb Cavachon! The PetSafe Booster seat installs easily on an open back seat and can be adjusted to window height. There’s a removable soft cloth interior and harness which attaches to their collar so they stay put while the vehicle is in motion. My dog seems to know she’s secure and sits happily when we ride!

Zuni is a 20 lb'er at, 17" long, I got the X-Large and it's nice and roomy. He knows to go into "the basket" instead off sitting on the center arm rest....when I tell him : ). He likes it and I feel better about him safe as I drive and stop! VERY easy to put together and move from seat to seat. Last, great price and a nice sturdy booster seat.

It’s very nice for the price. It’s a little big for my Maltese but good if she wants to nap. The sides are a bit high for her but I added some foam padding to raise her seat. The only problem I have with it is that when it is strapped to the car’s passenger seat the doggie seat becomes slanted that she slides back. I haven’t had it too long so I’m still working on it so she can have a better view as we ride.

Since I was rescued from the side of a 4-lane highway my rescuer has taken me for several car rides including to Florida. She decided I would be more comfortable if I could look out the car window so she bought to seat for me, I love it! It is just what I wanted so now my next trip to Florida I can see where I am going.

It has a few flaws. One is the back is too foldable and collapses easily. Second- the straps do not fit around a larger SUV seat. I have to buy extensions to make it fit. Third- the strap to keep her in the basket allows her to jump half way out and just hang there. I had to add an extra clip to affix around her harness. But all in all- it keeps her from barking!! That is a plus since she does not like to be kenneled in any way.

Fantastic idea and only slightly hard to understand directions. However the leash to hold dog in his seat is too short and the basket overall is made for a very tiny dog. Mine barely fits and she is a 10 lb chihuahua.

She likes it. Keeps her safe and she can look out put a toy in with her. I can drive and watch the other cars not have to try to keep a eye on her. We are both more rested after a trip. she is the 5th poodle we have had wish we have had one for the other one much easier.to take a trip. We are retired so we like to travel. all for now.

Ordered one of these for my 7lb 8oz Maltese and guess what.... he could not even fit into it. It looked like it was built for a pocket sized dog. Sooooo. Be careful when buying this and if you have a 8 pound maltese order the large one then he/she will have room to lay down on those family outings in the car or suv.
