User Reviews about Kyjen Outward Hound Pet Car Booster Seat - Deluxe Faux-Leather - Small - Gray

My dog loves car rides..but only if he can be in the driver seat and looking out window. Knowing this I decided to purchase a car seat for him because we were going to be going on a trip and being this would be his first long car ride, I wanted him to be safe and comfortable.I liked everything about car seat except it was a little to small for him to lay down and relax so he wasn't too thrilled with it. Overall not a bad product, just not for me and my dog. -- Pet Booster Seat

My toy yorkie absolutely loves his new seat. He can see out the window instead of just sitting in the car looking at the dash. He barks at the other dogs and cats as we drive down the road as if to say "Hey, look at me, I'm special". -- petey loves his seat

I purchased this seat for my Yorkie who has always been afraid of riding in a car. With this seat, he is absolutely loving every minute of the car ride, looking out the window and enjoying himself. Great product for my wonderful dog. It is easy to attach to the car seat and easy to remove. -- doggy booster seat

I was lucky to find this car carrier at a discount store, so I figured, "Why not give it a try?" I have two dogs, an 8 lb. toy poodle and a 20-lb. bichonish dog. Both tend to be terrible in the car, and dealing with two of them jumping around has never been any fun.
This seat was very easy to install. I am terrible with spatial relations, so if I got it in easily (and back out and in again), anyone can do it. (I agree with the other reviewers who believe it requires a headrest, but I don't think my dogs would tolerate the back seat anyway, so it's okay that I only know how to put it in the front seat.)

To keep the seat positioned high and level, I installed it high and slanted up in the front. That makes it like a reclining airplane seat -- the dog naturally leans back a little and her weight levels her.

I first tested the seat with a few trips around the block with my bichon. As I wrote, he's 20 lbs., but he fit in the seat sitting up. And he was surprisingly content. (Not perfect, but he didn't flip out as he does with the harness seat belts.) He could put his paws out over the edge of it and seemed to feel much less confined than he does in the harness seat belts.

Next I tested the seat with both dogs in the car, which meant only one dog in the seat -- I put the toy poodle in it.

She is not particularly interested in looking out the window, but one way or another, she is much more content in this booster seat than she is in a doggie seat belt/harness. She also goes nuts in those and wriggles out. Even though the clip to her harness is short (another inch or two would be nice), she doesn't strain at it or try to get out. And having one dog secured in the car keeps the other one quieter. He sat more calmly next to her, almost tucked partly under the bottom of her seat. He did jump a bit from back to front, but he was more inclined than usual to stay put on the seat with her (and he doesn't like her, so it must have been more about the calm example she set or his desire to remain part of the clan up front).

Finally, as many people have said, it is a phenomenal change not to see the toy poodle fly forward when I hit the brakes. Driving was much less stressful without worrying about her flying into the dashboard.

I just wish they made this to hold two small dogs. I've seen pictures of those, but they are $80-$100. -- Worthwhile purchase!

We found this item to be a lot of fun. Our puppy took a bit of time to get used to it and we had to put something under it so it doesn't bounce much (she got sick, you can guess how so). But she stays put, looks all over and seems to enjoy the view. It also keeps her in place and safe. Worth the money? Yep.. It's almost worth it to just show your friends you have a doggy car seat. -- Doggie car seat
