Can you use it in the car? Will it hang on the seat so the dog can see out. I have a 4# chihuahua.

Good question, I don't believe the straps are long enough to put around a seat and I'm not sure it would hang.

It might but I would not recommend it. It would flop all over the place when you turned or came to a stop unless you could figure a way to secure it (otherwise could be dangerous) - it's really only meant to be strapped across you back with dog riding on your front.

No I have not tried it in a car and know it will not work with this product. I do have a "Solvit Tagalong Pet Booster Seat", for my Yorkie and fits and works perfectly in front passenger seat. The Outward hound Front carrier is just for me to carry her in front of me when doing errands or when it's raining out. The only thing I do not like about this product (medium in size) is too small or tight for my 5 pound puppy to move around in.

the straps may wrap around the seat but thed weight of the dog would fall forward

The carrier's straps can be criscrossed on a front seat, and the waist strap can be secured around the seat back to provide a secure area for your 4lb pooch. You may need to put a cushion to let the dog see out. Make sure the dog is wearing a harness, and clip to the provided securing strap to keep pup in carrier.

My nine pound dog can see out the side window and front windshield. I have bucket seats in the front and it is too far away for him to stick his head out, unless he would stand and lean toward the window. I don't think that would be a safe option.

It would be too strong to leave in your car closed up. You could prob hang it somewhere when you get in. I wouldn't leave it in there.

Not Sure I use it in my Mini Van and Camry, however I don't recommend this for a dog over 15 pound, my 30 pound Cocker bent the metal that fits in the latch and this allowed him to get loose. Look for a heavy duty metal latch similar to your own car. Great Idea just not strong enough not to bend.

It can be used in any car that has a seat belt system that clicks!! You just put the metal U where the seat belt U goes! I have 2 big dogs, use this one & one similar without problems!!

No, first of all you won't be able to see, and I'm sure the straps won't hold it on during driving time. I use it just while it's being stored,and from the inside getting wet!

I bought a Medium Snoozer Pet Car Seat for my 12 pound Morkie (Maltese/Yorkie). Plenty of room for him to lay down. He loves being able to see out the window!

Yes, your little one will be able to see out. My little 9# Chihuahua loves HER seat!Best one we ever bought.Biker BoyceLas Vegas

You could probably set it up on a car like that. Honestly, our dogs slipped out, got tangled up, and this was after nearly 20 minutes of trying to get it to fit the dogs properly. If you have a fairly calm dog, these harness are a good idea. If your dog is anything like our lab (a little more active in the car, you might be better off with a crate.

It wouldn't readily strap into a car seat, but you could probably figure out a way to attach it. I'm not sure it would be safe in a crash, I think the dog would not be secure enough.

I just checked it. The straps that hold it in place can be slipped out allowing you to fold the piece down or under. I've never done it because my dog slips her head through the sides of that panel to get to AC. But your idea is better... It will work as suggested allowing that area to remain open. (I never did it because she, the dog, has a tendency to back seat drive then by attempting to join us in front seat!).

Small dog is able to see out window, but not close enough to put head out. I don't think this would be feeble for dogs over 10 lbs. Ours is 5.5lbs and he can sit or lay down in the seat

The odds of people having that car and this buckle... LOL. Uh, anyway, I would say take a look at the picture of the seatbelt buckle and compare it to the buckle in the car you wish to use it in. This fit in one of my cars and not the other. It turns out the buckle on the dog thing has a fairly long open rectangle area where it clips into the car so it's a "long" buckle. Maybe an inch? If the buckle on your car is long and rectangular, it would possibly fit. If it is short and more square, it likely would not fit.

I have mine in cargo area but I had to put it against the backseat. Measure the back from top to bottom and side to side. Petsmart has metal simple ones which I may get. I have a europian doberman hes big but I need something less bulky

I use it in the front seat over the headrest so my cavapoo can see out the window. You can put in in the back seat also. But there should be no problem with your dogs weight its very steady and your dog within the weight limit. I love it and this is my 3rd the other two I got right from Petsmart for my maltese who had cancer at 7 years and had to have him put down so I bought this one for the new cavapoo. The cordarory from the inside is suppose to be washable but I haven't had to wash it yet. So far a good and easy product to hook up and take down.

We have the small, which is for our 11-lb. ShihTzu and it's perfect!! Not sure if the medium would be big enough....your best bet would be to measure your dog and compare that against the size of the car seat. You'll want enough space in the seating area for your dog to be able to lie down. It's still easy to see out the window, though, because the platform inside the seat is elevated.

I don't believe the seat cover, excellent as it is, is designed to keep the dog from flopping around, even when used as a hammock. For that I think you would need a harness with an attachment to the seat belt, which would keep both you and your dog much safer since a flying dog (in case of accident) can be badly injured and can become a deadly flying missile that could injure passengers. That said, I still love the car seat for the seat protection and the comfort for my dog. I use a dog seat belt as described above.
