Can you use this in a front bucket seat? She likes to be up front with me, but I don't want her on my lap which is where she like to be.

I believe you could, but I prefer the safety of the back seat so there is no trying to climb over to me, the driver. You can adjust it short enough to allow only enough room to be in a sitting or lying position on the bucket seat. Again, I would be more concerned about the safety should an airbag deploy, too. That could be very harmful to a dog and the back seat would just be much safer all around - in my opinion.

They sell a short strap that connects the harness to the seatbelt--but I would think the reality is she could still stretch over to the driver's seat particularly in a small car or pickup cab.

Yes it can go in the front, but if your dog is anything like mine, you'll probably want to combine this with a booster seat. My dog used to sit on my lap too, and I was always so paranoid she would get hurt, but she would whine and try to jump on my lap whenever I put her in the passenger seat, which wasn't safe either. So I got a harnesses and a booster seat and now she's content to sit in the passenger seat, as long as I still pet her. Definitely make sure you can turn the airbag off.

You can use it up front, but the seatbelt might be long enough for her to try and get into your lap anyway.Maybe you can buckle the seatbelt and see how far it comes over to the driver's side. if it reaches all the way, she'll be able to move that far.

Leslie,I normally keep my dog in the back seat of my car, but on occasion (he always prefers the front seat) I will let him sit up front with me. I just attach the leash or a rope around the passengers seat with enough slack and attach the clasp or other end of rope to the loop on the back of his harness. I allow enough slack for him to move about - somewhat, but not enough so that if I slammed on the brakes he would hit the dash or window.I hope this helps. Best regards,Jeff Turner

yes you can! i have an auto zip line with leash and my dog travels like this in the middle of the two front seats, i put a good cushion between my seats and my co-pilot is ready...very cool!!!

I believe it would only work in a backseat where there is a way it can be anchored. Our SUV with buckets seats it works fine but in our car with a solid, one piece backseat we do not use it. We love this seat though!!

I don't want mine to, so the conection to her harness is short. You could adjust it so they could I guess.

If you can reach around to fasten the straps behind the seat, Yes. Otherwise, I would not recommend it in the back seat because it can fly up and hurl the pet against the roof.

Hi Karen, I thought the same thing....I hooked it to the frame underneath the seat. I went as far under the seat as I could to keep the bottom portion taught so my little stinker dog couldn't sneak under and get in front. Works great, and my dog is very motivated to get in front!

With the convertible car seats, I don't see why anyone would get safeseat. For next db I will get a snugride then use our convertible car seat. My db wanted a more "upright" seat asap and she was under the 1yo weight limit. The bucket seat becomes uncomfortable to them. You can use the covertible car seats up to 2 years rear facing, which is supposed to be the safest way to go. Then use them forward facing up to 65 lbs. So it doesn't make sense to get the largest bucket seat, besides you can't carry them in it after like 14 lbs.

No way. The straps are too long. Plus the seat in the basket is too weak. If your dog s a chewer, don't buy this. Fred chewed through the front strap in a panic (there is nothing but air between the basket and the seat of the car putting a tremendous amount of stress on the straps). Without the front strap, the car seat is useless even using only the seatbelt.

Yes you can, I use it in my rear passenger seat, but there is nothing about the way that it's made to prevent use in the front seat as well.

I would not have my dogs in the front seat, so I don't think the airbag situation would arise. They are adjustable, so depending on the size of your dog, you can shorten or lengthen to allow the room to move which you feel is safe for your pet.

Hi Ashley,Unfortunately my husband and I tried to do the same but we're unable to do so. The toddler seat cannot fit facing forward with the infant carseat on top.

I never tried that but I don't think a car seat will fit in the front. Only the back seat reclines. You also may not find it as sturdy as you would like for it to be. It was okay for us (2 toddlers) but it did not receive a lot of heavy use. There are others much easier to steer. Consider the city select.

I haven't actually slept on this yet as I purchased it for this summer, but I did blow it up. I don't think it would work on bucket seats as it needs the seat for support of the inflatable. It doesn't have any support of its own. It wouldn't be very comfortable.

I have mine in the front seat - I drive a Mazda CS7. Have two small dogs - they fit and they love it.

Nope. You just have to move the snack tray to the back, fold it down, then sit the seat there. The baby's feet will be under the handles. There's a strap that holds it in place. I just went to look at it at another store to make sure before I bought it. I'm not sure if you can use the seat in the front seat.

No, i do not. My 14lb shihtzu can lay down in it but she takes up the entire bottom with zero room to move...its really made for little dogs like a small Yorkie or chihuahua. Plus these are only good for bucket seats (front passenger) I bought 2 for a road trip to realize afterwards that I can not set them up in the back seat.

Yes! The car seat can go in the front or back position. We usually have the car seat in the back (closest to us) and my preschooler sits in the front. We have been really happy with this purchase and strongly recommend it!

It's kind of too big for my Chevy Cruze front bucket seat. Sits on the edges so a quick shift or tight turn may make the seat itself shift from being level if that makes any sense to who reads this. I'm going to try the small and maybe keep the larger one for long trips so he can lay down which was my whole purpose in getting the large.
