Everything my dog and I wanted~safety, quality, style and comfort. This is is so well made. My dog was very uncomfortable in other dog seats. She cried every trip and tried with all her tiny might to escape to freedom! She loves this-plenty of room to turn around, close to her people (and treats), great height for street watching, and the thick sidewalls hold her securely which I think she likes. My dog is 17.5 lbs, the XL is perfect for her-room to spare. Secures easily to rear console of my Mazda CX-5, was too large to be secure or comfortable on the front. Can’t say enough about this seat and the shopping experience and shipping was great too! I’m telling all my dog loving friends! Thanks!
