Car Safety Begins with a Booster Seat

In my opinion, the best tool to keep your little dog safe in the car is a booster seat. I’ve had one in my car for Sadie ever since she was a puppy and it is something we wouldn’t live without. Recently Sadie and I were given the chance to try out a new Deluxe Pet Booster Seat from Devoted Doggy and we love this new seat!

The Deluxe Pet Booster Seat is secured to the seat of your car with two straps, one around the seat back, and one around the headrest. It’s easy to install and easy to move if you want to switch it from the front or back seats. The strap that hangs around the headrest is adjustable so that you can raise or lower the seat to give your dog a better view out of the window. It also collapses for easy storage when the back and headrest straps are not in use.

For safety, there is a strap attached to the booster seat that hooks on your dog’s harness. The strap helps to keep your dog safely inside the seat in case of sudden stops or sharp turns. It also keeps excited pups from jumping out of their seats and possibly distracting the driver. Sadie is able to stand up, move around, and change positions comfortably, while still safely strapped into the booster.

The interior of the bed is soft and cushy for your dog’s comfort. It has a liner of sherpa-style fabric that can be removed and washed after the inevitable muddy car ride. Sadie loves to snuggle down in her booster seat for a nice nap, especially when she wants to avoid the sun. But there is also enough room for her to stretch out. Sometimes she enjoys using the side of the booster seat to rest her chin, and sometimes she rests her head on the headrest strap.

This particular model of booster seat has a convenient pocket in the front of the seat. It has a zipper closure so you won’t lose your belongings. In the above photo, I’ve got Sadie’s leash stored in the pocket so it will be handy when we’re ready to get out of the car.

The Deluxe Pet Booster Seat is available on Amazon for $39.95. It’s made to hold pets up to 20lbs and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Black and White Sunday #25

Today I thought it was appropriate to share this picture of Sadie hanging out in her car seat, since she will be spending a lot of time there this week. Sadie and I have a four hour drive today, a four hour drive tomorrow, a four hour drive Friday, and the final four hour drive next Sunday. We’ve got some fun activities planned and some friends and family to visit, but it’s still quite a bit of time in the car. I’m just glad that Sadie is a pretty good road trip companion and is content to just nap and sit quietly in her car seat.

That’s Not Your Car Seat!

The other day Sadie’s Grandparents and I needed a quick lunch in the middle of a very busy day, so we picked up something from a drive-thru to eat in the car. Sadie was sitting nicely in her car seat while the car was in motion and while we were at the drive-thru window. But once I parked the car and opened the bags of food, Sadie wanted to get as close as possible. As soon as I unclipped her harness, Sadie jumped right onto the center console and sat down to see what kind of goodies I was pulling out of that bag.
