Highlighted Reviews
"This booster seat is easy to put together and very sturdy. It has a harness to attach to your pet leash to keep your dog secure. I have a pom who is about 8 lbs and its a good size for him."
"I wanted to like this car seat but on first use my puppy was able to jump out and was hanging from her collar. The adjustable leash is so flimsy she was able to loosen it to its max! Plus the sides are so flimsy my 4 pound yorkie just presses them down. Dangerous and not worth the risk."
