So I have 2 Chihuahua puppies, and am trying to figure out the best way for them to ride in the car. Right now I have a small crate that they both go in together, and I buckle it in. I want to start looking for other options, as they are starting to get a little tight in the crate.
I would rather not use a crate to restrain them. I was thinking a pet booster type seat. One will be about 5 lbs full grown, the other around 7 lbs.
My preferences-
*I'd like for them both to ride together. They are close and could keep each other company.
*I want it to buckle in. The ones that attach like car seat mirrors do not seem that secure (but you guys would know that.)
*I would really prefer that it only take up ONE spot in the car for both dogs.
*I like it when the strap the secures my pet comes from the inside of the car seat or booster, not the outside as I would like my pets to stay IN the car seat/booster in an accident.
I liked this one a lot. It was what I planned on getting before I got my 2nd pup. It attaches securely (watch the video), and the strap comes from INSIDE the seat. If I have to, maybe I can just get 2 of them and have the dogs ride separately if needed.
There is also the FidoRido. This seemed good at first, only takes up 1 seat, fits 2 dogs, plastic and installs with the seatbelt. But the straps that tether to the dog seem really thin, as well as come from the side, which I'm not a fan of.
The large Snoozer seems great, It buckles in, fits 2 dogs, and it uses the vehicle seatbelt to restrain the dog (watch video). But the bed itself is a hard foam, so I am not sure how great it will stay in the car, but it's not what is securing the dogs anyways, just acting as a booster. But, it seems like it takes up 2 seats. Or I don't know if I could get the Medium that goes to 25 lbs, and just order an extra tether strap?
That's pretty much all I can find. I just need help! I want to buy something within this next month, and I can't find anything that feels safe that will fit both of them!
