If you are small like me, you know how hard it is to see out the car window when you are sitting in the car. Of course, standing precariously up against the door to get a view is not the safest way to travel which is why my good friends at Solvit Products created their Tagalong™ Pet Booster Seat.
That's right my window-challenged friends! You can now ride safely in the car and catch all the great sights out the window all at the same time.
The Tagalong Booster Seat is a plush ride thanks to the removable, washable fabric liner which attaches to the seat with velcro. There are slits in the liner for all the necessary straps - the headrest strap and the safety leash - to fit through, making it easy to get the fabric liner on and off.
The headrest strap is connected to the seat section by D-rings and can be adjusted to whatever length you prefer for your seat. Once you have your headrest strap secured, you can then adjust and fasten the lower strap around the back of the car seat.
The Tagalong Booster Seat is designed to fit on all vehicle seats that have a headrest. Solvit's design supports the seat from below with straps that are attached at the back of the booster seat. It is easy to assemble and secure in either the front or back seat.
I received the XL model Booster Seat from Solvit Products to try; it holds a pet that weighs up to 25 lbs. Solvit also makes Medium and Large sized seats as well as their Pet Safety Seat which will hold a pet up to 30 lbs. Ma was a bit nervous that it may not hold me without sagging but it held up just fine. Ma secured my harness to the safety leashes in the booster seat and off we went for a drive. Boy, did I enjoy the view for once!
One quick note per the Care & Use Guide provided by Solvit Products: "Although the booster seat improves safety by reducing driver distraction, it has not been crash-tested and is not considered as safe as using our Vehicle Safety Harness."
I am all for being safe while traveling in the car and believe that although the Tagalong may not be crash-tested, it is probably safer than roaming around the car with no restraint at all.
What kind of safety restraint do you use in the car? Would you like to try a Solvit Products Tagalong Pet Booster Seat?
One lucky reader can win a Tagalong Pet Booster Seat by Solvit Products - size of their choice. U.S. Only. Just enter the Rafflecopter for your chance to win. The giveaway is open through Tuesday, November 4, 2014. Good luck!

I love taking my Pug Olivia off. I think she would ride in the car more comfortably with this system than just being harnessed in.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea Oz but I seldom go in the car as I get sick. Have a marvellous Monday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Wow, this is a great idea! In our car, we go lots of places- the park, camping in Northern Minnesota, and around town. I'm not sure I'd fit into it, but maybe this could convince my little Sheltie friend to come visit me and my family more often! :)
ReplyDeleteyou look so totally cute sitting in that eat Oz. We are much to big for such a thing but we know someone is going to love winning one
ReplyDeleteWesa haf one just like this and for some reason, we hates it, we cries when we has to ride in it, we don't know what is wrong wif us.

Hey Oz
ReplyDeleteWhat a great gadget for a well traveled pup like you. When I HAVE to ride in the car I have to be sequestered to the dreaded PTU ...otherwise there would be chaos in the car. Mom also puts a seat belt around the PTU...she obviously thinks I'm Houdini
Hugs madi your bfff
That sounds wonderful for Bilbo or Arty....Mama has to buckle Jakey and I directly, as we like to spread out on the seats!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!
Dory
This is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI totally love this car seat, I wish it would be possible to ride that way in a car for large breeds too. but then we probably would need a bigger car, huh? It's like a warm and comfy nest for dogs and even doggies who dislike the ar will like the seat, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteRing-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding! ~ Oz your phone is busy today with this giveaway. Well I did not win the bicycle one which I really wanted. And I really want this one also. Oh I hope Solvit Products picks me for the Tagalong Pet Booster Seat ~ Lord knows I am always tagging along.
Thanks for being a friend
Sweet William The Scot
Stella would love this! And she needs it, too! Please add us to your list of entries.
ReplyDeleteDo you still do the Scoop Your Poop? How can we join that?
That's great for little dogs like yourself. My sisters and I always wear out seat belts but we are also tall enough to see out the window. I like to sit backwards and see where we have been.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that Greta might like to ride in one of these. Hazel would like it, I am sure - she like to look out the windows.
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey & Hazel
We like to ride to training class and to go camping!
DeleteHigh Paws Oz, I have used a dog car seat since I was a puppy. I get nervous in the car if I do not have a dog car seat. I have a few car seats (including one that is crash tested), so I will not enter the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Pepper
That's so cool! I'm a bit big for one of those, but I have a hammock for the back seat that keeps me safe
ReplyDeleteI would take my pup everywhere. She would drop the kids off for school, run with to the bank, drive thrus, Pet stores and more.
ReplyDeleteWhile my own dogs are probably too big for this, I am a volunteer rescue transport driver and when I have more than one dog in the van with me, I keep them all crated - except for one. I like to keep one of the smaller dogs up front with me, riding "shotgun", but I do worry about their safety. This would give them a safe way to look out the window for my part of the transport and keep them safe at the same time.
ReplyDeleteThat seat looks amazing! I love riding shotgun, but nearly always get relegated to the back seat, or worse, the boot :-(
ReplyDeleteMind you, the fact I have normally been merrily throwing myself into mud doesn't help...
That is absolutely adorable!! We, of course are much to big for that! Enjoy your new car seat!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if something like this would make Cricket more comfortable riding? She doesn't like to ride, and often tries to get down on the floor. I think having something around her like that might really help her.
ReplyDeleteJan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
We would go to all the dog events and fundraisers for local rescues. This would make it so easy for our dog's friend, Quinn to see when we are on the road.
ReplyDeleteAwww!!!! So adorable!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to everyone! My huskies won't fit in that! LOL
ღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
My pup would love this for our long car rides to the cabin!
ReplyDeleteOMD, that is pawsome Oz!!! Do they make like an EXTRA EXTRA large size my my fat arse?! Yeah, didn't thinks so, so I thinks I'll pass on this FABulous giveaway! Looks fun though!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
Looks so comfy too :) I would use it to take my Chihuahua, Itsy, to the doctors, groomers, pet store, park, doggy play dates and to doggy events. I love that she would be safer!
ReplyDeleteMr. N would go everywhere! To the parks, to the store and to go hiking.
ReplyDeleteNow that is some cool seat Oz!
ReplyDeleteOur dogs always travel with us. The Tagalong Pet Booster Seat would be perfect for keeping our little pup safe and comfortable around town and during our holiday travels.
ReplyDeleteWe would go on weekend roadtrips with our Doxie. He loves to ride.
ReplyDeleteDigicats {at} Sbcglobal {dot} Net
We would go for a drive up north to cooler weather
ReplyDeleteMy dog goes to work with me every day so this would be perfect for our daily travels!!
ReplyDeleteMy little long-haired Chihuahua goes with me as many places I can take her, and her current seat is falling apart, so this would be great to win. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Definitely something I'd buy for a dog.
ReplyDeleteDat look pawsome Oz my pal!! Yoo is ridin like a king!
ReplyDeleteGREAT review and too bad I don't have a little one to win that for.
ReplyDeleteEVERYWHERE!! I am trying to win this for my friend and she takes her little doggy everywhere. She is her little baby and she is spoiled rotten. She takes her to work daily so this would be perfect for her!
ReplyDeleteEveryWhere!
ReplyDeletebailey currently rides in a kurgo skybox booster but daughter #2 is adopting a dog this month and this would be perfect for her!
ReplyDeletewags, bailey unleashed
What does everyone do about the airbag? I'm so scared it will pop out and kill my sweetie!
