Why this one

CPS 5 starsThe Center for Pet Safety crash-tested it and rated it 5 stars, in all four sizes.
Seatbelt clipConnects to the seatbelt your car already has. No extra tether.
Walks tooOff the seat, it works as a walking harness, with reflective strips for night walks.

Best for: Road trips and holiday drives · Dogs up to 90 lbs · Owners who want crash data, not a label that says crash-tested
Fits: Dogs
Form: Car safety harness
Not for: when your pet is small enough to ride in a carrier

He's clipped to the seatbelt before you pull out, and walks out of the car in the same harness.

The catch: Measure before you order. CPS rates the Small only to 25 lbs.

Buckle him in the back seat, never the front.
Sleepypod runs a crash replacement program if the harness is ever in an accident.

Skip it if: Your pet is small enough to ride in a carrier. A carrier strapped to the back seat keeps a cat or toy dog contained.

Still your mess? Sleepypod Clickit Sport Dog Car Safety Harness is the one.
