Overview

Made for a vehicle's center console, this car booster seat suits small pets from 0 to 15 pounds, including puppies and cats, and includes a safety net to keep them contained while riding.

Its footprint targets the console area between front seats rather than a full back seat booster, which suits owners who like keeping a small pet within reach while driving. The listing does not provide dimensions, strap or attachment details, so measuring your console space first is worth doing.

  • Fits pets 0 to 15 lbs
  • Center console placement
  • Built-in safety net
  • Portable, movable between vehicles

Who it's for

Owners of small dogs, puppies or cats who want a designated console seat for car rides. Not suited to pets over 15 pounds or vehicles without a usable center console.
