A few days ago I posted asking how people keep their dogs safe in the car. Got amazing responses and went deep researching everything. I have a toy poodle under 5kg and I take her to work every day, so this actually matters to me.
Here's what I've narrowed it down to:
1. Sleepypod sleepypod.com/collections/beds-carriers/products/sleepypod CPS certified, well known in the community. Fabric though — not hard sided.
2. Tavo Maeve tavopets.com/usa/maeve-pet-protection-system Crash rated, LATCH anchoring, and honestly the prettiest one. Soft top with a zipper which gives me slight pause.
3. Gunner G1 gunner.com/collections/all/products/g1-kennel-black Hard sided, crash tested, crumple zones built in. Feels overbuilt for a tiny dog but that's probably not a bad thing.
4. Dakota G3 dakota283.com/product/g3-small-framed-kennel Hard sided, crash tested, slightly narrower which could work better in smaller cars.
5. Vomer (Kickstarter) kickstarter.com/projects/vomer/vomer-the-pet-car-seat-that-puts-safety-first Hard shell, cushioned interior, LATCH anchoring — and specifically designed for small dogs. Still in crowdfunding so no crash test results yet, but CPS certification is planned before production. Can't get it immediately which is the downside.
For a small dog owner who wants hard sided + anchored + some interior cushioning — which would you actually go with?
