Doggy Car seat.


Just ordered one of these from Deals Direct, [even though I don't like Red,] for $34.90 incl. postage.

Postage will differ depending on where you are.

Only thing I can see that might be a problem Sheba, would be they can't stretch out on a long drive.

our boys wouldn't stay in it.
they only sit up till we reach 80kms, and they lie down and sleep till they feel us slow down again and the blinker goes on. Then, if we stop and the seat belt clicks the barking starts because they know we're getting out.

looks cute though.

Congratulations on having better behaved pooches than we do!

 Mine is small enough to lie down comfortably in it I think.   I'll find out when I get it.

I could still use it for short trips, so she can be up front with me.

Cheers,

Sheba.

I've got something similar but larger than the one you have ordered sheba, mine will fit 2 Jack russells sitting up or one sleeps in it comfortably, they love it as they can see out and watch the world go by!

I originally got a set-up like my sister has, but this will be much easier for me too handle, as my breathing problem will only get worse in time.  Here is the original idea. 

It's a Childs' Car seat placed with the longest part on the seat, so the dog can lay down. [This my sisters' set-up.]

Yep Rip & Rosie, molly does the same things as your dogs. Her bed is her seat booster when we are driving. That really is cute Sheba, might just get one for short drives.

Just the light from the flash Marj.  She's in pretty good nick for a 63 [human] year old.  Next birthday [August] she catches up to me. Lol.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Got it today.  43cm square, and 23cm deep.  Not in the 'van yet, but [5th try] here are a couple of pics. with Angel inside it.  She has plenty of room to lie down and sleep if she wants to.

Oh gorgeous Sheba. Either shes very tiny or the seat is big. Nearly half metre square is a good size.

That seat looks great. Do you think it would hold 2 chihuahuas for a couple of hours at a time? On long trips I usually put them on the back seat of the car in a plastic pet carrier each. So they have nothing to look at. The carriers are then their outside houses when we are camped, inside one of those metal fences plus some plastuc fencing to make more space for them.

Depending on their size, I don't see why not.  I reckon if I still had Devil, both of them would have fitted no problem.  Yours don't look like large ones.

Cheers,

Sheba.

Thanks Marj.  Showing okay for me now too.  Don't know what happened earlier.  They only showed about the first 3 ".

Cheers,

Sheba,

Don't think so Marj.  Like I said, I think it might have been dumped.   Got a good home where it is though, I've been told.

Cheers,

Sheba.

God how could someone dump a dog, I could never do that. My jack russell is so spoilt, would be lost without him,
damn good watch dog too. We will both have to adjust once we hit the road.
