I have a 20 lb Cavalier, and I know he will fit sitting, but I wonder if he would be able to lay down to rest on long rides?

My 20# bichon lays down to sleep, bit she is not stretched out. She seems comfy though.

I'm absolutely NOT sure. Our 14 lb. ShihTzu CAN lay down in it but he is that long in body length. For his comfort on our last road trip we propped our two memory foam bed pillows under it...partially for storage but particularly for propping up the booster seat for his comfort.

No I wouldn't think he could lay down. Says it's up to 30 lbs, maybe sitting. My 14 week old Yorkie lays down in it and maybe he could have a little bother lay with him.

It is just the right size for my 8lb Maltipoo to curl up in it. I'd go to the next size up if I were you.

My Yorkie weighs 15-16 lbs. (yes, that is big for a Yorkie). Sometimes he will lay down in the booster seat. He curls up in it and lays his head on the side. I have no idea how comfortable this is. He doesn't stay that way very long but then I have never taken him on a long trip. Your dog is a bit bigger so it is really debatable in my opinion as to how comfortable he would be in this size booster seat laying down. If you take long trips and want to assure his comfort....you may want to consider going to the next bigger size. I don't know if the Kurgo Skybox offers that or not but some brands do.

We have two 20 pound dogs and it's large enough for them to move around and lay down the only caution would be to take curves slowly as it tends to tip easily and will tear fabric on the corners quickly speaking from experience

Hello: I bought my Mini-Ride for my 20 pound dog and it works fine. It would be too small for your shepherd sized friend. Sorry.

I have a Scottish Terrier and he JUST fits lying down. His rear end pushes against the back. He tends to sit up for the most part and I'm able to zipper him in but again, his head touches the top too. It works for us and what we need, but he's pushing the limit! We do love this carriage.

I believe this only comes in one size (see the dimensions in the desciption). I bought one for my dog in Oct. and he loves to snuggle down in it on a pillow when we travel. But my dog is 10 pounds, and he and the pillow are just enough to be comfortable. I would say a 20 pound dog would be a really close fit. I don't believe the dog would really be able to turn around or move much at all,and definitely not if you want to add anything like a pillow or blanket. That said,it is a well made carrier. Maybe the company has something else that would work better for your pooch.

She would be curled up and not stretched out but comfortable. My 10 pound Pom doesn't mind it at all. It is a tad bit challenging to sit her in it at first but you will get the hang of it. Hope this helps

I think she will just fit, especially if she rides like my dogs do, reclining or sitting. They have never ridden standing. My dogs together weigh 20 to 23 pounds, and lying or sitting, they have nice head room. They enjoy their ride. I hope this helps.

I would unfortunately say no. Only because I think his comfort would be an issue and I don't think the bed is large enough to hold a dog that big in size and weight.

I would think so. Over time I would wonder if they would be comfortable enough for more than a couple of hours at a time because the seat is not very wide. For 130lb to 200lb these seats can be sat in for hours!

Hello I have been using it for awhile and it is not very comfortable for long rides. It is better to but the one that doesn't have that depression in the center. I would recommend the Bel that is made with gel and covers the entire seat

I believe he would be comfortable. If when you see the booster seat you don't believe he will, it can always be easily returned. My little dog weighs 22lbs and she loves hers.

I have two Scotties and both lie down with them. They do have short legs so a longer legged dog may not have the same success I have.

I think it should. I have a Cavalier King Charles and it is really big on her. lots of room to expand if needed.

The backrests are totally removable so I would think yes, as long as your buddy doesn't go into the foot area where the peddles are.....they could hurt your Lab, but you can peddle slowly and keep an eye out for your Lab. If "Stay" is a command that he/she respects then you are fine.

It might be tight if he stands up the whole time. My Dog lays down most of the time, but stands when she wants to gaze out the window. She is only about 18 inches at the shoulder and there is room to spare It's a very nice device to keep the dog safe, as well as keeping their fur contained while providing them a comfortable ride. Good Luck!

You can position him against something to sit up or yes, you can lay him down. Like what the other reply said, no joints to him. He is SUPER soft and snuggly!

Not being a dog person, I think the cage is long enough, but the height might be an issue. The dimensions are Size: 36"(L) x 22"(W) x 25"(H). The actual height is about 24 inches, so if you dog can stand on four legs and is less than 24 inches tall she should be fine. I do not know if a dog can lie down comfortably for long periods. This cage was purchased to transport two cats in my case.I have been told that cage training a dog is more difficult than cats, as cats will explore, so consult someone who has done cage training.
