Car seat for your yorkie - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I've been thinking about the benefits of putting Gidget in a car seat but wonder if any of you use one and, if so, what kind and where did you get it? Does your baby mind riding in it?

I love the snoozer car seat. I like the luxury version because there is a pillow in it. If you look at my review site in my signature I review one. Now I have the largest one and can fit them all in it. Callie who is 17 pounds, Joey 10 pounds and Penny 12 pounds. They love it too.

Snoozer car seat is very comortable. We have a large and both of mine fit in it. We just came back from SC and they slept in it all the way except for an overnight stay and potty breaks. Mine have a tendency to get car sick but done much better when they can see out the windows. Plus the safety factor as they are seat belted in.

Add me to the list of those who like the snoozer car seat. They sit high, or at least the ones I have do, so your dogs can see out the window. You can get attachments in order to lock them in and buckle them up so to speak. My boy Théo often falls asleep soon when driving and he seems to really like his car seat. I like the snoozer for short drives and driving in the city. They look comfy and you can get ones that have a storage compartment. They’re awesome.

My kiddo suffers from car sickness, I needed something that was elevated off the seat. I got the tagalong purchased at Pet Supplies. We have it 4 years now, no more car sickness, he sits proudly in his seat looking out of the widow. It is foldable for easy storage when not needed.

I've the Snoozer as well for the past 4 years. It works great and is comfy.

We also used Snoozer for many years until I saw a video of it in a crash test. I was horrified but it did make sense. The Yorkies loved it but for safety reasons we have changed to the Sleepypod mini and or Sleepypod mobile bed depending on pet weight. We now have 2, one for each Yorkie. The Center for Pet Safety online has crash testing videos & ratings on these and other Sleepypods if you have heavier pets. Now we feel much safer when we travel.

I use a Sleepypod. It's been crash-tested (and it passed!) Sleepypod - Sleepypod® | The safest pet companyand Bon Bon doesn't get car sick, no matter where he rides.

I as well have the snoozer, and it’s amazing. I’m about to purchase another for my Pomeranian. Definitely worth the investment.
