"I'm fairly pleased with this purchase. One day, while running errands around town, I was in a car accident and did not have my 5 pound Maltese in his car seat. He was on my lap and because I skid for awhile before impact, I was able to hold onto him but the outcome could have been much worse. Now, whether just around town, or on a long trip on the freeway, I make sure Barkley is secured in his car seat. The only problem I have with it is that sometimes he tries to jump in the backseat, and the safety strap allows him enough movement to get completely out of the seat and onto the backseat, which is not good while I'm driving because he then wants me to lift him back to the console seat since he is still attached to it and therefore cannot lie down in the backseat. It would be better if instead of having 1 strap which attaches to his harness, it had a strap on each side that attaches to his harness. That way, he would have to stay in place but still give him enough movement to stand up or lie down. Maybe it could have a little elastic. But, other than that, it is great, as I am a frequent traveller."
