I bought this pet booster seat for a five-day cross-country road trip with my cat who, is not a great traveler. I was nervous about how he would handle the journey, but this seat ended up being a lifesaver!First, I love that it securely straps around the car seat. Knowing that my cat wouldn’t go flying in case of a sudden stop gave me real peace of mind. The built-in leash was another great feature—it helped keep him safely in place, especially while he was on medication for his car anxiety. I also appreciated that the leash was extendable, so I could adjust it based on his needs, whether he wanted to sit up and look around or just curl up and sleep.Size-wise, it was bigger than I expected, but in the best way possible. My cat had plenty of room to stretch out, making the long drives much more comfortable for him. The cushioning inside added to the coziness, and the side pockets were perfect for stashing treats, toys, or anything else I needed within arm’s reach.The quality is excellent, and what really surprised me is that even after the trip, my cat still loves it. When it’s not in my car, I leave it out in the house, and he regularly curls up in it for naps. Safe to say, this booster seat isn’t just road-trip approved—it’s become a favorite lounging spot too!
