My small dog used to jump between seats and try to sit on my lap while I was driving. This center console seat keeps him close but in his own spot, and the built-in safety belt makes the ride feel much more secure.

The soft pillow and cushioned mat make a big difference. My dog used to get restless on errands, but now she curls up comfortably and stays calm. I also like that the reversible pad works for both warm and cold weather.

I was worried it would slide around on the console, but the two fastening straps hold it firmly in place. The rigid support board keeps the seat from sagging, and the storage pocket is handy for treats and small pet items.
