How high off of the actual seat in the car is the dog? i.e., how much height does this add? Trying to figure out if Pup will be able to see outside.

My Pug can see out the window, but I'm sure it depends on your car type and if your dog likes to look out the window, or just sleep as mine does. I can't say enough good things about this seat and two of my friends have purchased seats for their dogs after seeing mine. Your dog will be safe and secure as long as you use the built in leash that you can adjust for movement.

I have not measured it but both our pups and now adult dachshunds have always been able to see out the window. Our back seat has two of them, one on each side! You can tether them in while being safe. Our dogs love sticking their heads out the windows and I can relax knowing they are safe. These are great seats, safe and comfortable. I highly recommend them.

Using the cushion it comes with my Yorkie was about 5 inches higher. She could see out but because my seats are angled toward the back I first put a towel under the cushion to elevate her a little more. Then I purchased a piece of foam for a few bucks at the craft store and just use that now. GREAT product and I have recommended it to several people. I use it in the front seat and it is easy to take in and out. My airbags only work if 100 pounds or more are in the passenger seat so I don't worry about that as someone else had mentioned. My dog loves it and so do I because she no longer tries to get in my lap when driving! Using the cushion it comes with my Yorkie was about 5 inches higher.

Oops I see a dachshund can see out so there you go. I think it is more than 5 inches for sure but like the others say, it is an awesome seat❗️You will not be disappointed. It comes with 2 tethers so the dog cannot fall out. Well I'll say mine did not�

Hi Carrie,If you are talking pup then no he/she won't be able to see out side. In saying that I purchased the large car seat and it is bigger than I thought.The dog is only 4 inches off the seat in the car, Fabulous product tho no hesitation in recommending it!!Kriss

It is about 9 or 10 inches, so your puppy should be able to see out the window. I have a 5 month old shih tzu and she is able to sit up and look out, but she finds it so comfortable that she lays down in it� Depending on the breed of dog you have, like a chihuahua or a dachshund , I would think any other breed will be able to see out. Hope this helps�

It elevates the dog about 5 inches. My small dog (14 + lbs) could see well from it. The problem was that he kept falling through the cut out in the front. I no longer use this as a car seat.

14 lbs might be a little big for the seat, and if your dog can see out of the windows or not depends on how you adjust the straps. Use a harness, not a collar or you dog won't have room to move.

That might depend on your dog and your car. My dog would not be able too- too far from window. Also this booster seat was sort of flimsy, not as secure looking as in the picture.

I would say those users are not attaching the safety tether to their dog's collar! My 12 lb. Poochon gets out also unless I attach it, but then is happy in the car seat & can see outside. You can also adjust the tether's length. I love this car seat, have also used it for my 20 lb. cat, who loves it!

The product is specified as Medium size, Measures at: 13.5'' Height X 7.5'' Width X 6.5'' Depth.Measure your lil pooch from head end (not tail end). If I recall there is an opening for their tail. Hopefully he/she will fit. "Good luck."I had one for my Pug pup and used it when biking. It was a head turner! Great product!

It might help to make sure the seat is positioned more upright. When I repositioned the seat for the dog, it should be level so the dog is looking out and not up at the ceiling of the car. Also, pull the strap on the back of the seat down and then secure it tightly. Hopefully this will help.

Well, the dog needs to be in a harness to use this, and it is adjustable up to a certain point. My thoughts are that I think the strap would not be long enough, and I'm not sure they make harnesses that big! Maybe try a regular seat belt (just kidding)!!

We use this seat for our poodle/shih tzu 7lb mix and she loves it..yes, looking out the window is perfect for her. About sticking head out window? of the car? I would never suggest that. Even though there is a safety clip inside the seat, I Dont think its ever a good idea to let any dog stick their head out of the window of the car...just not safe for pet. The idea of the seat is safety and it does this well. Our pup, like I said loves the seat. She jumps right into it whenever we take her anywhere. She can also put her front legs on the front edge of the seat - we think she really enjoys her ride!

the area for where the dog sits is about 8" deep and about 15" X 15". It appears deeper because of the black back area but that is only cosmetic. I read someone had a 15# dog in the seat but I can't imagine that. My dog is 7# and its fine. Made nicey. I thought this one would have been better than the one I just replaces because if it being "AKC" but it isn't. Overall i like it.

Haha, that's exactly what I have! She is a 6lbs Yorkie Poo and she loves her booster seat! If she is sitting down in the booster seat she CAN see out the window. This is in the front seat of a 2004 Ford Taurus. Great purchase!

I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long! She's so much taller than me, she can see over my shoulder when I use our BOBA. She loves being able to see! Like the other commenter Lisa mentioned, a bigger kid can have their arms up and over the shoulder straps and it works fine! I am sooooo happy I bought this devise. So much better than the Ergo. FYI. I bought it in the brown color and it is really dark at night when we stroll. I have attached reflector tape and those LED light up orbs that are sold for dog collars. Its made me feel safer walking in the dark. I had the same problem! My kiddo is thin and lean and really tall. She is well under the 45 pound limit but she is so long!

The strap the goes around the console to hold it in place does not appear to be long enough to around a standard seat, you could possibly seat belt across the front to hold it in.....if you don't mind the seat belt strap being in front of the dog.

I have a Highlander and my Chihuahuas can see out of the window when they sit/stand up in it. A larger dog could probably lay down and still see out of it, but the seat does not obstruct the view of the driver in my vehicle.

I just took mine outside to test it on a Chevy Equinox crossover. The door opened wide enough, but just barely. The ramp is not as tall as the seats and there was a gap where my pet would have to jump across, too wide to be able to just step over. My largest pet is a pug, so you may not have that problem. Also something to consider is the way you'll modify the slick carpeting on the ramp. Mine has indoor/outdoor carpeting and I can no longer fold it.

You tie it to the front seats so you could tie it low or high, whatever you need. If you tie it tightly I don't think your dog would be able to nose his way under it. The trick is to tie it tightly to the 2 front seats. Good luck ~

My daughter is almost 15 months and is still rear facing in my SUV. I believe it is high enough for her to see out - she can at least see trucks/trees/buildings. I know the seat reclines at various points- so depending on how far reclined they are- could make the difference...

i think it is returnable so try it. my 3.5 lb yorkie fits in one corner. if your pooch loves to go bye, he should love sitting in the seat. it is "up" a little so can see out the side window.
