 Awful Product - Waste of Money November 4, 2008

Solvit Deluxe Pet Booster Seat
This is a terrible product. Would not rest flush against rear bench-type seat and the front collapsed when my 6 pound dog rested his front paws on it. It is also very small. I bought this because it was cheaper than the Snoozer which I've used with my other dog for several years. I guess you get what you pay for (or less). Save your money and steer clear of this pet car seat.
 We love it! October 21, 2008

My little guy just loves this booster seat! And so do I! I have bucket seats and it fits just fine. Works in the front seat or the back. Now my chi can see the world as it passes us by!
The Perfect Car Seat October 18, 2008

This car seat for small dogs is easy to install and looks great. It's the perfect size for my 7 pound [11 inch long] dog to lie down. I added a furry lap throw to make it softer and elevate the dog a little. When he is lying down he can barely reach up to the edge of the seat to rest his chin and look out.
The plaid has a gold strip in it, which looks nice. I think in the description it said "fleece"; it's soft, but is regular cloth.
 This pet booster seat is just okay October 15, 2008

I am glad I bought this pet booster seat, but it is not ideal for my needs. It is a little small for my dog,(a miniature dachsund big for his breed) so he can never get quite comfortable. Even though it lifts him up so he can see out the window, he still stands with his feet on the edge of the basket trying to get his nose out the window. This de-stabilizes the basket, and often causes the support pole to come out of its socket, which then pokes the dog.
ALSO, it is uncomfortable to install and take out. I thought I would just be able to leave the booster seat in place in the front passenger seat, but that didn't prove practical. Installing the booster involves reaching all the way around the front seat to hook up the strap, which is a pain. But when everything is hooked up properly, the booster seat is at a nice height and relatively stable.
Unfortunately, the booster seat doesn't not have any safety features for the dog. There is a strap that you can hook to the dog's collar, but that would probably choke the dog in an accident, not keep him from being flung forward. Another problem, the booster seat installs so high on the car seat that my dog cannot hop into the seat, I have to pick him up and put him in the basket. Bottom line, it is better than nothing, but could be better designed for easier installation and greater stability.

I have a small cat who I have trained to ride in the car. I bought this booster seat for her since I was moving and about to drive for 3 days to our new home. There was no way I was going to put her in a cage for such a long drive. This seat worked perfectly for her! I used a harness instead of a collar, which I recommend. She did climb the back of the car seat a few times, but mostly during the trip she stayed in the basket and either looked out the window, played with her toys that I had placed in the basket for her, or slept. She really seemed to enjoy looking at the cars passing us by, and the scenery.
I would recommend this booster seat to anyone with well-trained pets. I really highly recommend a harness for use with this, though. Pets CAN get out of this basket, but only enough to hang off of the side. A collar could choke them, but using a harness makes it much safer. But for someone with a hyper cat or dog, I'd say stick to a back seat harness or some other alternative. This seat is for well-behaved pets.
I'd like to mention that the product comes turned inside out so that you can see where the holes are for assembly. I personally think it is a very high quality seat and very made well. Please read the instruction manual before sending it back and giving it a bad review. It's very simple to assemble as long as you look it over first and read the manual.
