Snoozer Lookout I Car Seat - Dog Car Seats for Small Dogs, Puppy Booster Bed for Small & Medium Sized Pets Up to 25 Lbs, Elevated, Washable - Medium, Black Quilted

Note: I bought this in February 2018, and am reviewing it in June 2018. I wanted to use it for a few months before giving a review. My dog has never liked to travel. We tried many things, from seats to covers, to different types of crates/carriers. He'd whine and get car sick in all of them. I talked to my vet, I looked at other pet owners' advice, and tried many techniques to try to soothe my dog's nerves. Nothing worked until we got this bed. When we got the bed, we put it out in the living room and he jumped right in, and after a few days we moved it to the car. The very next ride he was relaxed and had no more car sickness and very little crying. After a couple of rides, the crying was gone and he was snoozing or watching the countryside whir by. Now we go for short trips several times a week, and he acts like he was born to ride along! This seat gives him the ride height so he can look out the window from both the front and the side, as well as keep him out of the heavy rays of sun that tend to shine brightly on the seat of the car. It is solid foam, so it is very comfortable. The sherpa lining is also comfortable, though sometimes I do cover it with a sheet to help protect it. I fretted over the size - my dog is 25 lbs with long body, short legged build. He is a terrier/poodle mix, so imagine a solid, corgi-like body. We got the medium and as you can see from the picture, he has plenty of room to spread out if he wants to. It seems like the perfect size. We have put this car seat in the fronts and backs of both a Nissan Rogue and a Toyota Prius, and it has fit fine. It does fit snugly between the console and the door in both cars' front seats, but it wasn't a problem and, if anything, helped secure it. When in the back seat, it took up about as much space as the front seat in front of it, leaving plenty of room for another passenger. I'm very pleased with this car seat!

My husband and I are avid travelers, we travel on and off throughout the year about 2-1/2 months total. We bring our 2 cats with us everywhere!! We started traveling a couple of years ago when we got our tabby. Our tabby is well trained and does great with a seat belt connector attached to his harness. This past year, we adopted another little boy. We took an around town trip, to prepare him for our upcoming 14 day adventure, and found out immediately the seat belt connector was not going to cut it for this guy!! We bought this seat for him and boy was it worth every penny!! He is so comfortable and happy in this seat... He can look out the window, sleep snuggled up, and even hop around a bit and play while safely seat belted in! But the true test of this seat happened just before Christmas. We were loaded downed down for another 14 day trip, when a diesel truck decided to not abide by the traffic signal..... all airbags in our Nissan Armada were released and the car was an immediate total loss. It was a super scary moment, my heart sunk as I tried to see through the air bag smog to check on my babies! Unbelievably, this seat provided full protection and they came out without a scratch or bump!! Without this seat, our baby would not of been properly seated to avoid such an impact!! We will definitely not hesitate to buy another!

Perfect for my hyper Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, female 2 year old. She hated riding in the car because she had a difficult time seeing out the windows. Then I bought this seat and now she is ok with riding in the car, almost happy to travel, she can see out nicely. The chair is sturdy and stays firm, does not squish down when the dog gets into the seat. I thought they might have made a design mistake as the front of the seat tilts forward. When I put her seat in my right front seat of my car the dog seat evened out to level. It seems that car seats are not level so the dog seat compensates to the car. My cavalier is about 16 Lbs and she is able to sit as well as lay down inside the seat. This seat accommodates her nicely and would probably be able to hold a slightly bigger dog without a problem. I measured my front seat of my car at 24" and this seat is 22" which fits perfectly and the seat belt holds it in nicely. I suggest measuring your car seat prior to making your choice.The seat came to my house in a cardboard box without any plastic wrapping. I would suggest the sender wrap the seat in plastic prior to putting it in a shipping box.

This is a high quality travel car seat for smaller dogs. We have a toy poodle, so it’s the prefect size for him. It’s very durable. Looks good and flows well with car interior. It sits him up high so he can see out of the windows while laying down or sitting up. Makes it easy to fasten him into the car for safety as well. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. 100% worth the extra cost of this seat. We liked it so much that after a few years we bought a second one simply so we could have one in each car. Our toy poodle likes it so much, that I typically keep the one that goes in my car in our home office so he can lay around in it during the work day, so we are able to maximize its usage. That also speaks to how much our dog likes this car seat.

We purchased the Snoozer Lookout Car Seat in Medium, Black and Cream (Inside) for our 12 lb. Pomeranian baby. He LOVES his car seat and alternates between looking at the window from his comfortable perch to sleeping peacefully. Our baby always loves to be carried but he was happy because it was comfortable and he feels safe in it. The Medium is perfect for him as it gives him a little bit of room to stretch. He does love curling in it as well. The Medium will not work for larger dogs at all. The Seat is made out of high-quality foam and cover. We are very happy because our pooch had the best seat in our truck during our travels for almost 3 weeks. We have not washed it yet so I cannot comment on the covers condition out of the dryer. However, many have stated the cover washes great. I will be air-drying the cover as I would not want it to shrink. We give this seat 5 stars. The $89.95 may seem steep compared to others but this seat is well-worth the money. We do have a CONSUMER ALERT! DO NOT USE THE CONNECTION STRAP PROVIDED. The strap wrapped around our poor baby's ankle and foot twice. The second time is was SO TIGHT we thought we were going to have to cut the strap in order to unwind it. Luckily, after working it for 10 minutes we were able to get it off. We got rid of strap and made a makeshift strap from our dog's leash and clipped to his harness. Our dog's leg and foot were thankfully okay but our dog was crying and yelping until we were able to unwind and remove as he was unable to move his leg/foot--it was so tight. THEY NEED TO STOP INCLUDING THIS STRAP BEFORE SOMEONE's PET IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED! We are so grateful strap did not wind itself against high neck as he could have easily died. The thing has no give once it wraps onto your pet! PLEASE THROW AWAY AND DO NOT USE. We did not heed the advise of others and felt terrible for our dog. I HOPE AMAZON AND SNOOZER READ THIS but in case they don't, I'm contacting Snoozer directly on Monday.

After buying the Snoozer Console-style car seat for use in our pickup, I knew I liked this brand. I bought two of the Snoozer Lookout Car Seats, one for each of my small dogs. Pros: Keeps my dogs safe. I also like that it raises them up considerably, so that they can see out the window. I like that the sides of the seat are padded, so that when they rest there chins on it, it is soft and comfortable. It is a nice and comfortable seat for them to ride in. Cons: The price is probably the biggest con. A fairly hefty price tag for what is essentially a big piece of foam wrapped in fabric. The size is also pretty cumbersome for my car. I have two of these in the back seat of my 2019 Toyota Camry, and they take up the entire seat. Installing the seats should be an easy process but in my car, it's a little tricky. The Snoozer seat is a bit wide and so I have to maneuver the seatbelt across the Snoozer and then down behind to buckle it. Getting one seat in isn't so difficult but when trying to get the second one in, it's a tight fit and gives me a bit of a workout! The only other con I have is the interior fabric of the seat. It's a nice and fuzzy warm material. However, it is too warm in the summer months. A reversible fabric would be great! Overall, I recommend this seat. It's comfortable and safe for the dog, if you can handle the price tag.

Excellent car seat! We ordered one TEN years ago and we just now had to replace it!!! Held up really well for our older dog and our newest one. My little guys are only ten lbs so they love the elevated part of it as they can see out and sniff and stick their heads out the cracked open window. The harness attached is great giving them space to walk around in the carrier but still contained. The pups go to the park multiple times a week for a walk so the seat is used 3-4x a week AND being prior military we made quiet a few cross country trips and it held up great This newest one came early so that made it even better!! Worth every penny!

If I am being honest, I felt a bit ridiculous even *considering* buying this product at first. I felt like, if I bought it, I would be spending quite a bit of money for what essentially boiled down to a fancy pillow / booster seat for my dog. I mean, my dogs have it pretty good - but was I really ready to admit to myself that they are really *this* spoiled? However, I finally bought the bullet and bought this for two reasons. First, I have two dogs that both love riding in the car - but one is four times the size of the other (60lbs vs 15lbs). If I don't have them restrained / limited to their own little areas in the car, the big one (Ahu) constantly steps on, sits on, or otherwise smooshes the little one (Milo). When this happens, Milo freaks the heck out - but Ahu is deaf and generally pretty oblivious, so she doesn't typically seem to notice, and as a result, she does not necessarily stop standing on him / mashing his face into the door / whatever. As you can imagine, this creates a less-than-relaxing driving experience (for everyone except Ahu at least - she doesn't give a fig). Standard doggie seat belts and harnesses are not really sufficient for the issue described above, because I can never get them set up such that both dogs can: 1) sit down, stand up, and lie down AND 2) not get tangled up with each other. Each time I would think I finally had everything adjusted perfectly, I would get no more than 5 minutes into our drive before hearing some weird sound and seeing in my rear view mirror that somehow the little dog's seat belt was wrapped around the big dog's leg and the big dog was sitting on the little dog's tail. So, my solution to that has been to have the big dog (in her seat belt and harness) in the back seat and have the little dog in the front seat. One major downside of the big dog back seat and little dog front seat setup is that the front seat is really not as safe or secure for dogs (or anyone really) as the back seat is. Even with his doggie seat belt and harness, Milo still kinda flies around more than I really like when he sits in the front seat. This is especially the case because because he likes looking out the window, but due to his size he has to stand up on his hind legs in order to see out. While the seat belt keeps him from going through the windshield or falling out the window, he still loses his footing and swings around wildly if we so much as go over a speed bump. [Note: The reason Milo is in the front seat instead of Ahu being in the front seat is because my car is small and Ahu is too big to be able to lie down in the front seat during longer drives. If she tries to lie down, she tends to sit her butt directly on the gear shift, which makes it a bit difficult to drive my manual transmission car.] Another downside is that I have a great hammock-style seat protector to catch dog fur in the back seat, but I haven't found a similarly easy to put up and take down seat cover for the front seat, so I typically just throw down a towel or blanket to try and keep the front seat area from getting too furry. [Because I actually do need to drive humans around too! Despite how this review makes me sound, I am not just a dog chauffeur.] So, as you can see, I have really tried many different strategies over the years. Well, all I can say now is that I really should have gotten this Snoozer Lookout Car Seat a long-ass time ago. It keeps Milo safe, secure, and away from my gear shift while he is riding in the car. It also keeps the dog fur contained to a small area and is easy to set up and take out quickly. And, as I think you can tell from the pictures I posted with this review, Milo freaking loves it. TLDR / Moral of the story: Don't let your stupid pride get in the way of buying a product that will bring joy to your dogs and reduce your stress level while you drive them around. Learn from my mistakes and just buy Snoozer Lookout Car Seat already.

Comfy seat for a long trip. My dog gets to see what’s going on in the world! He’s happy looking around and rest when he has enough looking. Got the medium for a Maltese cross and plenty of room to stretch out and go to sleep. Happy dog, happy family, happy life!

Perfect for my little dog. Fits neatly in the car and she loves it. She feels secure as it’s quite small for one dog. Only wish I could have bought the version with a plastic drawer for their spare lead, water bowl. But, doesn’t detract from the functionality or aesthetics at all.

Our Zwergdackel (~4.3 kgs) immediately hopped into the car seat and appears quite content. It’s a robust, well-constructed seat and has a distinct advantage or two: one, it sits up high in the back seat and fastens securely with the seatbelt. Two, the cover is removable for easy washing. We bought the Clickit harness for secure travel and are looking forward to Sophie’s reaction. She has travelled internationally well in her airplane approved case (soft) (in the cabin). This allows her more freedom.

I already bought one of these ten years ago, so this is my second snoozer purchase for my new dog. The original one is still in use and in great shape. The pros are that my Chihuahua can enjoy looking out the window, it is soft and comfortable, light weight and easy to strap into the car. The cons are that the cover bonds to the foam over time and I can't remove it for washing. That being said, I always throw a blanket over the snoozer and wash that. The cover on the snoozer still looks new. My new Chihuahua is a little acrobat and would jump out of the snoozer the first couple of times, but now knows this is her place in the car. You may have to adjust the strap.

I bought this for my dog Roxy (pomeranian/chihuahua cross) who is 16 pounds. She fits perfectly in it and has plenty of room to move around. She does stand on the edges which sink down a tiny bit because they are soft, but it has not destroyed the structural integrity of the booster seat. It is perfect height so she can sit down and still see out the window as we drive around. It is super easy to move which is important because although she likes to ride co-pilot style in the front passenger seat, I need to move it into the back when driving friends and family. You simply buckle and unbuckle the seat belt and that's it! I do not use the chain that it comes with that secures the animal in the seat. I do not think that would be of any use in a real accident. I do not think this is a "safety" seat in anyway. I got this seat because I was pulled over by the police three times and given warnings that I would get a ticket for distracted driving if they caught me driving with my dog on my lap again. The only thing that I came across that would actually save your dog's life in the event of an accident was the Sleepy Pod Clickit, but this doesn't work for me because my dog barks non-stop if she can't see out the window. I love this car seat for what I need it for, but just be aware that this will not save the life of your pet. [...]
