Snoozer Lookout Car Seat

This is a great product--it is my second purchase (I need one for both cars) and I bought my first one 10 years ago. These dog seats are sturdy and allow my dog to see outside so she's not glued to my lap while I drive. It is both a safety feature for me and my dog. I highly recommend this car seat (despite being the of jokes from friends who think I pamper my dog too much). If you have a small dog and you take him/her along with you wherever you go in the car, this is a MUST HAVE.

Ever since we got my dog as a puppy, he has hated riding in the car. He gets carsick and would drool, sometimes even vomit, while riding in the car. While researching treatment for dog carsickness, I came across some comments from people who said a booster seat helped with their dog's carsickness. It made sense to me, since I know with car sickness in people, it helps if they can look forward and see the road in front of them while driving.

I was torn between getting the medium or large size. My dog meets the weight recommendations for the medium, but other people said they opted for a larger size so their dog could comfortably lie down. I ended up choosing the medium because the large would have taken up half the back seat of my SUV. Glad I went with the medium it's the PERFECT size for my dog (as a reference, he's about 21 pounds and measures 20 inches from the base of his neck to his tail). It's large enough for him to comfortably lie down and the sides are low enough to rest his chin on it. We installed it in the middle of the back seat and there's still enough for a person to sit on either side of him.

I did have a little trouble with the installation at first. I followed the directions, but it seemed a little wobbly and not very secure. I realized I could get a tighter installation if I pulled the seatbelt ALL the way out. While holding the fully extended seatbelt, insert it into the clasp, pull the lap belt part REALLY tight through the slots in the back of the booster seat, and hold it tight while I let the shoulder belt part fully retract. By doing it this way, the seat belt locks and you get a really tight installation the booster seat barely moves.

I do plan on buying a different strap to connect my dog's car harness to the seatbelt, though. I read several reviews from people who said their dog somehow managed to step on the latch to open it slightly then got their leg caught in the clasp. Also, the fake sheepskin sheds a little, but I'll probably just put a small blanket over it, so not really a big deal.

I took my dog for a ride today to test it out. He jumped right in it when I told him to go to his "bed". He layed down during most of the ride, but was still able to see out the front window. He would even sit up and look around when the car was stopped at lights. He still drooled a tiny bit, but not nearly as much as usual. I'm hoping he'll grow to enjoy riding in the car once he gets used to his new seat. If nothing else, at least it's a much more comfortable and safer way for him to ride.

Buy Snoozer Lookout Car Seat Now

I am very glad I purchased each of the dogs one of these car seats. They are high enough on the seat where they can see out of the windows and enjoy seeing what is going on. So soft and comfortable that they curl up and take a nap. They are also secure in the seat I don't worry about them hurting themselves jumping around. A very good investment, if you are a pet owner for your peace of mind and the safety of your pet.

No where in your description of this product do you mention the weight limit for dogs. Most Snoozer car seats state whether they're for dogs up to 25 lbs, or over 25 lbs. It's important to mention this in your description so customers don't assume their dogs will fit in it.

Isn't very safe if your dogs need to be harnessed. My wife and I purchased the My Buddy Lookout II for our two mini dachshunds. When we received the My Buddy Lookout II it wasn't what we expected. There isn't any place to hook the dogs harness to, you can only hook the harness up to the seat belt (which is holding the seat in place) and isn't very safe. Since there isn't a secure hook, the harnesses slide back and forth on the seat belt, get tangled and sometimes if the dogs try to jump off the Lookout they get stuck in mid air and cannot get back on the seat. When trying to exchange the product there was a restocking fee (ask the company you are using before purchasing) on top of the shipping fee, so we decided to keep the product. I wouldn't recommend this car seat for any dog needing to be harnessed, unless the company makes some adjustments or fixes the problem. If you want the car seat only for height, then it suits it's purpose. But I think it's very misleading and unsafe if you are harnessing your dogs.
