My little one, has a seat belt feature. attached to his harness. For protection. Can be used too, on any of our cars. She won’t go flying around in the car. In case a acciden. We’re at the car wash. She can’t leave the car. Harness into the drivers side seat belt.

 

I'm really looking for one that will let Alice sit and look out the window. Can yours let your baby stand and look out?

 

I don’t want her, to look out the window height. If there were a accident, the airbag employed on passenger side. It would kill her. Our other larger dogs, can sit up and see out. One of them, rest her head. On the panel self, under the glove box.

The little Chihuahua can put her feet up, and look out. But sitting down no.

 

…outward hound pet travel gear..

jetfuel….sitting back..

 

I don't believe the weight of a Chihuahua will activate passenger side airbag.
View attachment 68675
On my Buick the weight is 65lbs. or more to activate the passenger side airbag.
I use a bungee cord attached to Evelyn's harness and the roll bar, If there is a sudden stop she doesn't have a sudden jolt at the end of a leash. She travels better if she can see out.

 

My dog won't even fit in the Smart car.

For your entertainment here he is checking that the Christmas meat delivery is up to scratch.

 

I hadn't thought about the air bag, but I don't think Alice weighs enough to trigger it. She's only 11-12 pounds.

I think most of the seats I've looked at had a leash attachment. I wouldn't trust Alice to stay in the seat without one.

Thanks for the recommendation. Apparently the straps that go around those metal legs work for our seats too!

I have a booster seat for my dog called a FidoRido that I ordered on Amazon a few years ago. It attaches with the seatbelt and does not have the straps that need the separate head rest. I also have a Chihuahua that weighs between 10 and 11 pounds and with her and the weight of the booster seat, the airbag still stays off.

 

That looks like it would work for a small doggy.

 

Wow!! $160.00 seems kinda high for what looks like a padded dish pan.

 

I finally got one:



I was surprised that Alice didn't complain about it. My daughter thought it was for carrying groceries, so I guess it can serve more than one purpose!

 

She looks a bit apprehensive and looking to you for a bit of reassurance. Nice picture.

 

She later rested her chin on the edge and took a nap, so I think she's good with it. It's a lot more comfortable for me, not having her squirming in my lap trying to get into a good enough position to nap against the door.

 

Cute

 

They do look alike! I also got Alice at 2. The couple who had her were living on Eglin Air Force base with a toddler, and Alice kept getting out. They couldn't handle it, so I got lucky. So sorry you lost Fifi at a relatively young age. Alice is 13 and still struts like a teenager. I hope she has many more quality years.

 

 

Fifi had a heart murmur

That's very sad, but she looks like you gave her a wonderful life. Afaik Alice doesn't have any health issues so far.

She gave us a Wonderful Life

They are the best of what can happen when you crossbreed. I used to pet sit one who was whip-smart. Who's that in your profile pic?

That is Evelyn we got her to keep Fifi company after our first Chihuahua Cocoa passed. She will be 14 this year. She has some medical issues she has Cushing's and reoccurring bladder stone issues.

Bless her heart, and yours. We lost Alice's companion a couple of years ago (pug/chi mix) to a stroke.

 

..can we please add these lovely creatures here…

If we still had a cat. It would use the box, the seat came in.

 

It's less of an issue now, but I wanted to remove the pass seat and bolt in a custom travel kennel. I really didn't like driving around with either the great dane or the saint bernard due to fear of accidents.
Dogs tend to be my only passengers anyhow.
