Car Seat? - Page 2

Lorainne, that seat says it only goes up to 8 lbs... maybe a console seat for her is a pipe dream at this point. If I could find one that was easy enough to move that would be okay. BUT when all 4 of us are riding, I don't know where I would be able to put her.

I have the Outlook also, (think I got it from Overstock), but I have had to "rig" a system to keep Henry in there. Otherwise he tries to pull his way from the backseat into the drivers lap (mine)

Heather, I can't open that link? you can post it on my fb page, maybe that would work??
I just remeasured and am wondering how flexible the seats are... I THINK we could squeeze the 12 inch wide one by putting the arm rests up.. the other one would be way to tiny for Tillie

I think the Outlook is pretty easy to move from front seat to back seat (and I've had 5 back fusions). It is secured in place by the regular seat belt. If your back seat is a bench seat, the Outlook will fit in the middle of that seat -- leaving room for a person on both sides. I like the Outlook because it is very versatile. I got an extra tether and clipped it onto the primary tether -- so that I can give Beau extra distance (how would he "wing walk" out the window if I didn't?). When he gets nervous (like when I won't put his window down all the way in 12 degree whether like tonight), he tries to get over into my lap, but he still can't reach. Oh yes, I also put a real small crate pad over the cushion in the car seat -- it makes me feel warmer!

PS: Beau can still sit on the console, however!

this is the one I'm looking at ...

Amazon.com: Snoozer Console Lookout Car Seat,...
wonder if I can find it even cheaper anywhere else.. including shipping...?
AND I wonder if I'll be able to get it to FIT between the front seats. lol

Oh yes the last one if perfect ! I would still think you could make something.

I'm happy the sister don't know the difference and share their travel create.

Suzi, the sisters look so cute peeking out of the crate together. Are they both really small or is it a big crate? Love the pic.

Try this link:

Amazon.com: Solvit Standard Tagalong Pet Booster... . Looks like it's cheaper at Amazon anyway, darn it!!

I got the large, and I'm glad I did - Cey is snug but has just enough room to curl up and still be comfortable (Cey weighs ~11-11.5 lbs). Here's a picture of Cey in it taken just this morning

Not the best picture of the seat itself, sorry - I will try again tomorrow. Anyway, he seems to like it - I think that he really likes being able to see out in all directions without having to strain. He just sits in there looking around from side to side as I drive!

awesome! I saw this one, but Tillie could care less about seeing out the window and I just want her to feel secure. I am wondering if she would feel secure in this seat being that it's so high... can it be lowered to sit ON the seat??
