PupSaver Dog Car Seats for Small and Medium Dogs | Travel Booster Pet Seat | Crash-Tested Dog Bed for Cars | Compatible with Seat Belt Harness | Ideal for Dogs Up to 30lbs (Leopard with Black Trim)

This car seat is amazing. I have never felt compelled to write a review before but this car seat is worth every penny. I have a dog who had spinal surgery recently. Traveling with him quickly became a nightmare because he was used to sitting on my lap, but that isn't possible with his injury. I could not use a doggie harness : seatbelt or booster seat because if I stopped short, the pulling on his spine could be catastrophic, but a crate would allow him to slide around - not good! The seat is so comfy, even my incredibly opinionated dog quickly transitioned to being a big boy and sitting in his own seat. I love that even without clipping him into the seat (though I do recommend it!) he doesn't move, bounce or slide. It's exactly what I was looking for and never thought I'd find! It is a little difficult to remember how to put it back in the seat, so keep the instructions handy! Also, I have a two door car with "sports seats" and the fit isn't quite as perfect as it could be with a sedan.... I modified it by putting a firm base under the part (otherwise it sloped downward- stupid car!) But it still works great and I am happy with it. I tried it in a friend's car and it is perfect in a sedan or non-sporty car. Overall, well worth the money to keep my dog safe. i know he will be protected if anything were to happen, or even just hard braking. My son (dog) is staying put.

I drive to NJ every other weekend. And with a little training (put a treat on it before having your pup use it) my dog Mia - jumps right into the seat when we get into the car. She settles right in. There are ridges on the front cushion and on the side where she can comfortably rest her head. You just have to get the proper harness for it. The only comment I have is that it's hard to find a harness that hooks on the bottom of the harness - which would make movement on the carrier easier for Mia. OR I would have PupSaver sell harnesses that clip on the bottom in different sizes, available. Also, it may be confusing to set up on the first try - since there is a lot of buckles - but once you get used to it - it's very easy to install and dismantle. There are also YouTube videos that help you walk thru set up.

High quality car seat, well-made, with pup safety and comfort well thought out and executed. Easy to install (watch the YouTube video). Took me about 15 mins tops. I bought the petite harness to go with, and am likewise impressed with the design and quality of this product. Will update my review after we take a trip.

When researching for a crash tested dog seat this product checked off all the boxes. To the pups, they view it as a comfy dog bed. Piece of mind and safety first is key. The big con is that the main cushion cannot be washed. I put a 18X18 waterproof zippered cover and made a removable velcro cover to put ovet. This way it fully protects the main cover. (Made slits for the strap). This company should have thought of this in the design. The company can manufacture these covers and add to their merch. By making a fitted cover this does not interfere with the fit of the cushion when putting it back into the car seat. Entire product looks well made.

I’ve had this for a long time and always put my dog in it. Well, today it really mattered. Today we were in an unavoidable accident. My dog is completely fine and uninjured. If i had gone for a cheaper option or even just a strap, she would have been seriously injured. Thank you, PupSaver. You saved my pup. I can officially say I have “crash tested” this and it works. WORTH EVERY PENNY.

We had a bucket seat that worked fine, but didn’t seem comfy enough for a 10+ hour drive on our calendar. Alice was comfy and happy in the Pupsaver, whether snuggled in or taking a peek around!

I purchased the PupSaver in 2015. It has been in a car accident and moved countless times between the front and back seats of 4 different cars. I originally purchased it because my rescue dog barked up a storm when I strapped him in the backseat. I think his original owner let him sit on their lap while driving - a definite safety no-no. I installed the PupSaver in the passenger seat and he adapted immediately. He can still see out the side window and most importantly, he can see his me. This thing is so comfortable that he usually goes right to sleep (after he gets his car-treat, of course). Right now it's on the patio getting another wash job so we'll see how it fares. Besides being a little grubby because I rarely give it a big wash, the PupSaver has been incredibly durable. When it finally gives up the ghost, I'll definitely get another because buying peace of mind for $190 is a bargain!

It seems to be properly braced in the car. And it was easy to install once I found a video on YouTube. It does not fit well in bucket seats. I tried putting it in my Mini that has bucket seats and it doesn’t have an angled bottom so it followed the angle of the sport seat and does not leave a flat surface for your pet to sit or lay on. It positions the animal into the crevice between the back of the seat and this product. It was also too wide from the console to the door for it to close without scrunching up. The inside of a Mini is not as small as you would think so I would assume anyone with a smaller car will not be happy with the fit of this product. However, I used it for a long drive in a truck and it fit properly and my pet was comfortable. I cannot imagine using it in the back seat unless someone is sitting with the dog. They will not be able to see you or you them.
