Extra Stable Dog Car Seat - Reinforced Car Dog Seat for Medium-Sized Dogs with 4 Fastening Straps - Robust and Waterproof Pet Car Seat for The Back Seat of The Car (S Size, Black)

This dog carrier is the BEST. My dog is about 21 pounds miniature American Shepard, just for reference. This carrier was very easy to put together. It's intuitive. It's construction is very strong. The fabric is also strong and waterproof. Since it has not cushioning and "upholstery" it will be easy to clean and maintain. It attaches well to our car seat in several places. It also has a spot for attaching your dog to the leash that comes with it. I like that it attaches to the back of the front seat as well as the back seat. This give more stability and room for the dog. As soon as we put our dog in it, she was quiet and happy to be a part of our journey, not stuck in the back in a crate. I put her doggie "donut" inside for her to curl up in and be a familiar comfort place for her. I'd say, skip the cheap "upholstery" on other carriers and flimsy straps and other junky features that will just break down. This German made carrier is intelligent and well made. Worth every penny, and more.

This has been a life saver for our pup. She is a big dog but this allows her to be comfy in the car and we can leash her in so we can comfortably put the windows down.

This product is allllllmost perfect. If they decide to call me, I can make this a 5-star product. But alas they didn’t (rude, I know) so here’s my lengthy review instead.For reference:I bought two of these on sale for Black Friday <$50/ea. One is for an 80lb German shepherd, the other is for her 90lb son (also a GSD). This sits in the 2nd row of my Chevy Suburban.My usage:I have two big German shepherds in a love/hate relationship with each other. They can’t be too far apart or they’ll cry incessantly (one dog per row is too distant for their liking). But they also can’t be too close and left to their own devices or their intrusive thoughts win (think: “man, your ear looks tasty. What if I just give it one swift bite. Probably ok.” (For the record: shockingly, not ok)).Purchasing two of these allows them to each be in their own bucket seat in the same row, while still physically separated. For this purpose, it looks perfect. I haven’t tried it out. We’ll see how it works.Compliments:- 2 fit in the backseat almost perfectly. Each one is just shy of exactly half the width of the backseat. To be fair, I did measure this out in advance.- the additional rods used to create structure in each panel is a fantastic addition for both durability and practicality. Without them, this whole thing would fall apart.- the zippers on each panel will allow me to unzip one side and load up one GSD per bucket seat without them running into each other in the middle.- the seatbelt harness will be perfect for keeping each dog limited to his/her own bucket and not jumping around the car.Needs improvement + fixes:- there is no hard bottom. It is a very loose fabric hanging product even when tightened and secured. I had a backseat extender that I put these two on top of and that helped tremendously for stability.- there’s a seat anchor but it’s a flaccid rubber. (Well that’s vivid imagery, did you HAVE to use that word?… if you can imagine what it’s like shoving the collapsible hollow rubber tube in between the seats, you’ll understand why it is the correct word to use). I wish this were a hardened plastic like every other car hammock, but alas. It is what it is.- the four straps to secure each seat are great but they don’t reach each headrest correctly. If you use it per the instructions, your bucket seats will be crooked. Instead I use buckle #1 with clip #2, and buckle #2 to clip #1 for each headrest. Doing this made it so that the straps are essentially hugging each headrest. Much more effective than the diagrams shown in the booklet.- there’s four zippers are nice but already start to come down on their own. Some sort of securing mechanism for the zippers to keep them upright would be exceedingly helpful to prevent this.Tips:- the rods slide into an unsown seam. You may look for a hole, but it’s not there. It’s just an unstitched portion in the corner.- secure the straps with the alternate buckle. (Left buckle goes around the headrest and into the right clip. Right buckle goes around the headrest the other way into the left clip).- use this with a backseat extender so there’s a floor for your dog to lay on.

I’ve had this car seat for over a year now and it’s perfect for my dog. As of two days ago, I have a newfound appreciation for it.My dog, Nilla, has been afraid of the car and gotten carsick easily since I got her. The seat makes it impossible for her to stumble onto the floor or lose her balance easily - it’s like a safe little nest for her. I also feel more comfortable opening the window (she loves to stick her head out and hit helps her carsickness) because I know she’s hooked into the seatbelt strap. On the occasions where she has thrown up in the car, I actually removed the plastic rods from the seat and tossed it in the wash. Worked pretty well.Two days ago, Nilla and I were hit by a driver running a red light. The airbags deployed and my car is totaled. It was extremely scary and my first worry was whether or not she was okay. She is completely fine! Two of the straps on the car seat did rip off the main basket part during the impact. Nilla was scared and panting but didn’t whine or cry out and suffered no injuries. I truly believe without this car seat she could have flown forward or out the window (which was fully open) and died. All of the firefighters at the scene were wowed when I said my dog had been wearing her seatbelt too.Please, please invest in something for your car that will make your pets comfortable and safe. For reference, Nilla is 18 pounds and I bought the Medium size.

Way to flimsy for my dog… sides give me way with slight pressure from 2 small dachshunds

Easy install and great quality so far! Only takes up one seat space so it's nice and not bulky. Plenty of room for other people/groceries/ etc.

Fits in the front passenger seat of my jeep wrangler. Feels nice and secure with multiple clips to dashboard and seat as well as seatbelt. Fits pittie puppy currently at 25 lbs with plenty of room to grow and still have room to lay down comfortably.
