New Car restraint

[Buster Brown]

Buster has a great car seat but it does not really have a strong restraint on it so I have a leash tied to my car that I hook to his Buddy Belt but even with that I wonder how far forward and back he would go in an accident. I just found this in my search. I like the padding as it would seem to spread the impact force a bit but it may be to high on the neck so it might put pressure on the trachea. Has anyone purchased one and have reviews? Thanks.

I like the pawrider by choke Free...I use mine with a car seat.

I would worry too that the Sleepypod harness would end up putting pressure on the neck.

I also agree with wanting a better restraint than the ones that come with all car seats.

In terms of the harness, I feel good about the Buddy Belt and impact force. I have had my boys on 30' leashes running full speed and snapping at the end of leash so hard that they fell on their sides or nearly flipped over backwards. No injuries. I have also swung them around in the air in their harnesses in an emergency. No bruising or injury.

I called them and they said that the front was adjustable and did not go up that high. They will have them at their store in about two weeks so I am going to check it out. I agree about the Buddy Belt. I have pulled Buster up off the ground as well, due to a very mean Dachshund who went after him so fast that I just lifted Buster up and away. I just liked the way this had so much padding to dissipate the impact.
