This dog car seat is designed to go on top of the console so your little one can be right beside you. It keeps them safe, and close. This car seat is very well made and easy to keep clean. My medical alert 4-pound Maltese dog loves her new car seat and she is close to alert and do her job. The carrier looks chic and is an excellent way to secure your dog (or cat if you have one) for safe travels. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097... #Tomoson There is also a clip attached to the carrier inside to attach to your animal's collar if they are not trained to stay in place. When you get to where you are going, it doubles as a dog bed where the animal has their own space at the hotel or at home. It is easy to unclip and simply take it with you. It can also work to take into the store to put the animal in the shopping cart, if they are a medical alert dog, like mine.
