Hello J.B. I bought the medium one for my two yorkies, one is 5 pounds and the other one 7 pounds and is perfect for them. The material is very resistent and you can adjust the straps. It has an strap inside to conect the collar so the dog cant jump outside. I think is perfect for your dog. I use it in a convertible volkswagen EOS. My dogs love it!

My dog is 16 pounds and loves it, however it does not sit really close to the window, so I'm not sure that your dog will be able to put his/her head out the window. My dog loves it because it holds him up high enough to see out in all directions. Hope this helps you.

In my opinion this is a great item. My 18 pound 1 year old dog loves to sit jn it. You have to be very consistant training the puppy to get in when the car starts but after a few times he now jumps right kn. It is eash to lift off when you need to move it and the adjustable straps allow it to sit high enough for your pet to look out the windows. My little Luca jumps on the console and into the baskey. I usr an additional padded car harness thay goes on like a regular dog harness. I do highly recommend this for safety while driving and prevents driving distractions. I use it in both a Nissan Maxima and Altima. It is very sturdy. In my opinion this is a great item. My 18 pound 1 year old dog loves to sit jn it.

It "might" be. Depending on your dogs body and neck length. I "think" you can adjust the strap to lengthen oit or make an extension. Sorry I can't help further.

I don't think so. My dog is 10 lbs. I think the size could handle 5 more pounds, but the strap is fairly short to keep the pooch safely in the basket. We do love the basket.

The strap would definitely be long enough since it does adjust. But, I would probably go up to the larger size so that your dog has room to lie down. I have a 6lb. Morkie and according to the description she could have fit into the smaller size but would never of had enough room to lie down. My suggestion to anyone who is looking to buy this product is to go up to the next size for this purpose. It is a wonderful carseat, I am very happy with it!

It is sturdy but I dont think stepping on the side would hold up if lots of pressure is put on it. Strap is plenty long. My Shih tzu is 12.4 pounds and she has room to lay down in it. She also puts her paws on the side to look out window and we have had no problems. This is a great seat.

JB hey there! We use this for our 18lb Jack Russell, and he loves it. The strap is actually adjustable, and we have measured just perfect so that he is safely away from the window, yest secure in the box. We have an Audi Q5.

Would work fine for 15 pound dog, may be a little heavy for smaller dog but I think worth a try, especially if dog is healthy and fairly strong for its size. I used with two small dogs and loved it.

The step will support the dog BUT the depth of the step is rather narrow vs the rise is a bit steep. Also the surface of the steps is a little slick for my dog to be comfortable I would not use it for my 14 year old ,80 lb mutt.

My dog is 14 lbs, and I don't have a problem with the straps at all. She's heavy enough to weigh it down on my shoulders that the straps dont slide. I love this bag!

My dog is 10 pounds and she fits with extra space.. So I think 15 pound would be fine.. But you should consider if you can manage carrying that weight for long. I would get a bag with two straps so the weight is distributed through the whole back and not just half.

Yes. It is a nice wide sturdy strap with good hardware. The strap even has a wide pad goes over the leash that sits on your shoulder for your comfort. I have been using this product since Dec. and when my friends see it they take pictures to share with their friends who have older dogs.

The straps provided wouldn't be very comfortable hauling a 14 lb. dog for very long. You should be able to substitute them with padded straps you may have from old luggage etc.

It is very sturdy, but I cannot answer your question. My dog is under 50 pounds and it easily accomodates his weight.

I'm 5' 0" and can't step over it :-) ! The gate is a little hard to open, so they may have some trouble depending on how strong they are. If you don't want them opening it, you could probably put a strap around it. It is a nice sturdy gate, I took 2 panels off to use as a gate. 4 panels are big enough for my Maltese. Good luck.

NO! I'm 150 lbs and that really stresses the hinge. For my 65 lb dog this is great. Easy to carry and unfold. I have pinched my fingers in it once. Ouch!

Yes it is really rather sturdy - unless it is a Mane coon or upwards of 20 lbs it should be fine

There are two straps, one for headrest and one that wraps around the seat, both are adjustable. My doggie weighs 4lbs and loves this seat. I made another pillow to boost her up even further. I agree with others, just stay within the weight requirement and it should work out for you. My husband sometimes only uses the upper strap. I always use both. Hope this helps.

The strap is quite long, but able to be trimmed for smaller dogs. Quite suitable for larger breeds; however.

It's very sturdy. I can stand and walk on it no problem and my son is 105 lbs and he tides bikes and skateboards on it. It would certainly hold a large dog.

The step is plastic and snaps together, no fasteners. I would not put a 75 lb dog on it, however it is a sturdy thing, and you might try it. If it shows signs of coming apart, put some screws in it.

Yes it's sturdy and shouldn't have a problem, though you might want to add a zip tie over the Velcro straps for extra safey

Yes, its sturdy enough, just make sure it doesn't slide off when your dog tries to get on it. It needs to be secured somehow.
