Our local TV news station did a segment on keeping dogs safe in vehicles. They rated several different carriers and harnesses. They said that the Sleepypod Clicket Sport Utility Harness was one of the top rated devices. Has anyone used one of these or have any opinions to offer?
Any Experience with Sleepypod Clicket Sport Safety Harness?

I also have the sleepy pod air for my 11 lb Luna. I don't have a picture of it (and her) in the car, but I have this one:

Luna looks as happy in her SleepyPod as Loki is in his!

Haha so cute!
I used the Sleepypod Clickit Sport Harness on my Tibetan Terrier. She got very tangled up in it with the seat belt. My husband and I followed all the directions very carefully when we put her in it. We had to pull over and untangle her. She actually was almost strangling. I looked up reviews and other people had the same problem. I am now trying to return it and am getting no response from Sleeypod. My two Havanese ride in Vari-cages but I am thinking about getting a Variocage for them.

When I didn't know what I do now, Kodi used to ride in a car harness. But it really wasn't just a matter of putting him on it and buckling him in... It took a fair bit of training. Constantly putting him back in his donut bed on the seat, telling him to lie down, treats for staying there... He didn't just automatically know how to do it.
Over time, I became more and more convinced that the harness was not as safe as a good quality travel crate. (or for that matter, not even as safe as traveling in an appropriately sized, properly secured varikennel!) So I switched Kodi into a crate, and the girls have never ridden any other way.
