Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsGood product but it can be better
Reviewed in Canada on November 25, 2013
It's a great idea for small dogs but definitely needs some improvements. My 4 month old, 4lb toy poodle, Cody doesn't mind sitting on it. Before using it in the car, I let him to explore it at home as he usually needs some time getting used to new objects.
Cons:
1) I read a review on the Deluxe model in which "the back leg of a small dog got stuck in the lobster claw on the small safety leash where it connects to the bottom of the booster seat", right after I received the product. I can see how this can happen for small paws. Instead of returning the item, I filled up the claw like openings in the attachments with some soft fabric as a precaution.
2) The padding in the bottom and sides are not enough, as I can feel the metal bars. I assume the deluxe version might have a better padding but the smaller sizes of that model were not available at the time of my purchase. To make it more comfortable for Cody, I'm planning to place a cushion inside the basket.
Overall, at the sale price and with some easy modifications, it is a good purchase.
