Dog Car Seat and Carrier Bed with Handles, 20.5 in Square

This padded bed doubles as a car seat and a carrier. It sits on a car seat with raised sides around three edges, so your dog has something to lean on while you drive, and two handles on top let you carry it from the car to wherever you are going. A strap with a buckle holds it in place, and the photos show a shoulder strap for longer carries.

The cloth cover is easy to carry and can be washed. It measures 20.5 x 20.5 x 17.3 in (52 x 52 x 44 cm) and weighs about 7.1 lb (3.2 kg). It comes in gray, light gray and beige. Some options in the picker add extras; the images show a seat-belt tether in red or black beside the seat, so check the option name before you order.

Before buying, measure your dog's length when lying down and compare it with the 20.5 in (52 cm) base, and think about how your dog sits and turns around. The bed is meant for the seat, not the floor of the car. Use a car harness or the tether with it, and follow your local rules for traveling with pets. Wipe up spills right away; when the cover is dirty, wash it by hand and let it dry fully before use.

The bed is also comfortable at home as a soft place to curl up between trips.
