2nd time buying this car seat; it’s perfect for my dog. I had to replace the first one after ~5 years because the foam edging had worn down and was breaking off.I have two minpin and normally they ride in my pick up in their kennel's.However, I would like them to enjoy the view while being safe and not loose in the car.The FidoRido is perfect for that! There are two leashes connected to the car booster, so both of them can go on it. And they are constantly looking outside, so they are totally enjoying their rides.I give it stars because even though it is a great product. I am of the opinion that it is way overpriced considering the design and material.After watching some videos of crash tests of other dog car seats, I was horrified. So many did not work at all, and let the dog go flying like a missile. We also wanted seats where the dogs (shih tzu and chiweenie) look out the window of our Highland or Traverse. These do that. They are very easy to install - much easier than the 2 other we tried. One of the ones we tried gets the highest rating on a dog car seat testing site. It probably is the safest, but it was a pain to get the dogs into. The FidoRido has not been crash tested, but it seems that it would do a good job. We hope we never have to find out. But, we have peace of mind now, better than we used to have. Especially since the chiweenie always insisted on driving (wanting to sit in my lap). The cover is easy to take off and launder. The construction is top notch. The little bag in front is perfect for the leashes. I don't thing you can go wrong with this seat. And it is easy to install and remove the seat.I love this thing! I researched for weeks, going back and forth. I wanted something safe for my dog above all. This is sturdy once buckled in, and my dog can see out the window which we love. She jumped right into it the day I opened it. When I received the car seat cover, part of the elastic was detaching, and I contacted customer service. I received a replacement within the week no questions asked and I was very impressed with this company. I believe they are a small business. I will be recommending this seat to anyone on the hunt.Driving around my high-strung little Italian Greyhound, who hates car rides and warbles, whines, barks and tries to jump to the front seat even when strapped in, has always been a torture and an excercise in patience.I've tried crating him, using a dog seat belt, playing calming doggie music -- all to no avail.The FidoRido performed better than I expected. It was well constructed and sturdy. It is easy to secure in the back seat of your car, is cushy and supportive, and boosts the dog up enough to see out the window. It comes with a harness that is very easy to put on and has 2 rings on each side. There are also 2 straps on each side of the FidoRido seat, which when hooked into the harness, keep your dog in the middle of the seat. The length of the straps can also be adjusted for dogs with longer legs or to allow more leeway. The only thing I would suggest is that if your car seat angle causes the FidoRido to angle back, that you place a rolled up towel underneath it in such a way that it makes the FidoRido level.The first time I tried FidoRido, there was a noticeable difference in my dog's behavior. He didn't whine or bark (although he let out some warbles), he didn't try to get off the thing, and he even lied down for part of the ride.I'm hoping that it gets better with each successive use. Perhaps we can actually take the foregone weekend car trips with doggie now.I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE. MY DOG LOVES IT AND SHE DOES NOT GET CAR SICK ANYMORE. THIS PRODUCT IS WELL CONSTRUCTED AND YOU ARE ABLE TO BUY REPLACEMENT PARTS WHEN NECESSARY. THERE ARE MANY COLOR CHOICES FOR THE COVERS AND THEY WILL CALL YOU AT HOME TO ASK YOU WHAT SIZE HARNESS YOU NEED. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THEY WILL HELP YOU. THE HARNESS IS MADE CUSTOM TO FIT YOUR DOG PERFECTLY.THEY WILL ALSO ASK YOU WHAT COLOR COVER YOU WANT. WHEN WE PLACED OUR ORDER WITH AMAZON THEY WERE OUT OF STOCK ON THE BEIGE SO WHEN THEY CALLED US WE OPTED FOR THE WHITE WITH CUTE BLACK PAW PRINTS AND IT MATCHES OUR INTERIOR PERFECTLY. THE COVER IS MACHINE WASHABLE AND THIS SEAT CAN BE USED A DOG BED WHEN YOU GO ON VACATION AND YOU NEED TO STAY IN A HOTEL OR MOTEL. IF YOU REMOVE ALL THE CONTENT OFF THE FIDO RIDO IT DOUBLES AS A CONVENIENT BATH TUB TO WASH YOUR PET.SO NOW NOBODY HAS NO EXCUSE TO LET YOUR ANIMAL BE LOOSE IN THE CAR. WHEN I DID NOT HAVE A FIDO RIDO WE USED A SPECIAL HARNESS THAT ATTACHED TO OUR SEAT BELT SYSTEM. SHE IS A LITTLE 13 INCH BEAGLE AND COULD NOT SEE OUT THE WINDOW AND WOULD GET CAR SICK SOMETIMES. NOW WITH THE FIDO RIDO SHE IS SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO SEE AND SHE LOOKS COMFORTABLE WHEN SHE WANTS TO TAKE A NAP.GOD BLESS,HAPPY CUSTOMERThis is a great idea! It's probably worth $40. It's just a plastic bin with slots for the seatbelt, and a piece of foam with a fitted cover (with foam around the top of the bin). It's soft for the dog. I hope it lasts. My small dog (9 pounds and a shorty) can't see out of the window, which is one of the reasons I bought it. It's not high enough. The best part about it is that it secures with the seatbelt. That's an important difference between this seat and many others on the market.So far everything looks great, I do like the replaceable pipe foam that it comes with even though it seems cheesy it’s really brilliant. There is a foam that goes under the sheet cover, which is replaceable. So that’s really neat. It is a bit large but my dogs large/small read so it’ll work obviously it won’t fit in my Corvette but it’ll fit in my truck in my SUV just finethat is the best seat for dogs for cars in the market, it is easy to put and remove, it is very well made, the height is perfect so your dog can look out of the window, and most importantly, keep your dog safe and comfortable, great for long and short trips, was delivered on time and straight home. So happy with it ??
