CRASH-TESTED : Our dog car seat has been independently crash-tested in the USA by the Center for Pet Safety (CPS) for pets weighing up to 25 lbs. It has received a 5-star safety rating for its outstanding performance (Test with the U.S. child restraint system standard FMVSS 213b). The test results show nearly no movement during crashes, making it one of the safest dog car seats for small dogs and cats in the world.
SAFEST DESIGN : 99% of dog booster car seat or car seat for dogs on the market are not crash-tested, their open structure and inner leash often fail to protect your pets safely during car accidents. In most cases, the inner leash of their dog carseat will break and your dogs could be thrown around during accidents. In contrast, our crash-tested dog car seat relies on the seatbelt and the car seat itself to absorb crash forces, rather than depending on the inner safety tether that most companies use. This design allows us to withstand crash forces of at least 750 lbs, placing us in the top 1% of dog car seats that can truly safeguard your pets.
Top Cover Protection: Unlike most dog boosters with an open structure, our enclosed dog car seat features a top cover design that prevents dogs and cats from being thrown around or hitting the side door or front seat during car accidents, helping to keep them safely inside the car. In crash tests conducted by the Center for Pet Safety, none of the dog boosters with open structures passed, as the tested dogs were thrown around in the car, either due to inadequate inner safety tethers or being ejected because of the open design.
HOME PET BED : It not only can be used as a cat car seat or dog bed for car, but also a comfortable cat bed at home for small dogs and cats. They can walk in and out of the carrier when the front mesh is open.
PORTABLE : This is a portable car seat for travel (dog travel) , you can use it as portable dog carriers for small dogs and cats for short term vet visits or overnight dog camping, or bring this puppy car seat home to be a home dog bed or cat beds.
CAT-FRIENDLY : With the mesh cover, it can be used as a cat car seat, ensuring your cats feel safer inside the carrier compared to an open cat car seat. It also helps reduce travel stress by using it as a cat bed at home first. Perfect for using as a cat carrier for vet visits for nervous cats.
Customers say
Customers find the pet carrier to be of good quality, easy to assemble, and appreciate its safety features, with one customer noting it’s the safest place for pets in the car. The carrier is roomy, particularly for dachshunds, and customers like its comfort, with one mentioning the cushioned interior. The stability and zipper quality receive mixed feedback – while some find it sturdy and the zipper great quality, others report it feels flimsy and find the zipper nearly impossible to use.

We (and our dog) love this carrier!
We absolutely love this car carrier! We’ve been looking at another brand which is twice the price and came across this one on Amazon. Given that the name brand carrier didn’t come with free returns and we couldn’t get a clear read from the reviews whether it was going to work out for our dog, and the fact that both carriers had been crash tested and were certified, we decided to skip the name brand and try this one. We’re so glad we did!Our 7.8 lb chihuahua has been riding in a soft sided smaller carrier (of a size that would fit under an airline seat). It was ok for short trips to the vet, etc. but she could not stand up or turn around so we wanted something more comfortable for longer car rides. As other reviewers noted, when putting it together it was a little difficult to get it zipped up (it took two of us – one to hold it and one to zip it) but the zipper seems to be great quality and, once we got it zipped, we aren’t expecting any issues with the zipper. Aside from getting it zipped, putting it together was not difficult at all. As soon as it was set up, we set it on the living room floor and our dog went right in and laid down. She was quite content to hang out in it, and even skipped her usual bed to go and lie back down in the carrier. Our dog fits fine in the carrier and it has enough height/width that she can stand up, sit fully upright, and lie down in it. We love the fact that she has 360 degree viewing (which she didn’t have in her previous carrier) and better ventilation.My husband watched the video on how to install it in the car, which was very helpful (although he commented that he wished the manufacturer went a bit slower in the video). We headed out of town the day after receiving it and she didn’t whine in the carrier like she normally does. She sat up and looked around for a little while, then laid down and snoozed. It seems to be great quality that will hold up over time but, of course, only time and use will really tell that. So far, we feel that it is an excellent value and are really happy that we found a carrier that is much more comfortable for our precious pup!

Absolutely amazing, stunning design!
Numerous zippers allows to open in any place you want and keep your beloved puppy protected. Well suitable for poodle toy who may turn around, sit and lay down very comfortably.Easy to install, fold carry. Material is great for cleaning, waterproof and nice to touch. Big space creates a greater place for car seat, transporter or hotel home bed during travel. Very functional!I hope in the future we may expect accessories like fluffy bed, additional seat belt pin or fan.

Great for Senior Dogs!
Exactly what my senior dachshund needed! He fits in it perfectly with his bed and toys. We feel he is safe and secure in it thanks to the crash test rating, and the overall design is high quality. Everything from the zippers to the lining are well made, and he seems comfortable and stable in it. This is great for car rides of all types, and the leash attachment works great to ensure he stays put. We were surprised by the size when we got the box (we expected a MUCH bigger box), but it went from a small product folded up to real size in no time. Putting it together was very easy, and it belts into our seats with no problems. I highly recommend this dog carrier!

Good product
It’s good. Works well. Sturdy,Inside ZIPPER FLAP should be made longer since you have to tuck heavy duty cardboard frame UNDER it. It’s a huge pain. BREAKS FINGERNAILS during installation

Best Dog Car seat carrier for safety and peace of mind
I found the pawsincar carrier after Googling, “CPS certified pet carrier” and the Amazon page came up in my search results. I recently learned that a friend’s dog died in a car accident when a reckless driver hit them. You can’t control other drivers, but you can do everything to ensure your pet is safe when you’re on the road. I knew I needed to get a CPS certified carrier because they are crash test certified. The carrier arrived in two days just in time for the weekend for a day trip. It was very easy to put together, and it is easy to take it apart for storage if needed. It is for dogs up to 25 lbs. My dog is a 15 lb terrier mix. I got him acclimated to it the day before. I put in his blanket and toy. He napped in it. On the day of the trip, I put in some treats and he had 1 mg CBD and he slept comfortably for the hour and a half car ride. It has good ventilation. There is a strap to attach to your pet’s harness or leash if you want to roll down the top so they can’t jump out. I kept the top zipped because my dog would climb out. My dog used to ride on my lap for car rides but after hearing what happened to someone close to us, I could not risk anything happening to my dog when driving. Pawsincar is durable, good quality. It would be easy to clean if your pet has an accident or gets car sick. The safest place is the backseat. If you DM a photo of your carrier, you will get a certificate for free replacement if you’re ever in an accident. I sent a photo, and they even let me know to fix the seat belt placement. They care a lot about their product and want to ensure it’s installed correctly. I love that it looks like the carrier from The Mandalorian for the child (Grogu aka Baby Yoda). My dog felt safe and curled up for a nap.

Secure, well made and cat approved!
I bought this car seat to make sure my boys are safe and comfortable as they travel with me a lot. They were excited before I even installed the car seat in the car. Both boys loved how cozy the cushioned interior was and had plenty of space to move around. It was easy to install and very sturdy. I love knowing my fur babies are safe on our trips!!

Excellent and safe
Researched crash test ratings before a long road trip. These are great. Cats can stand up with plenty of room. They voluntarily slept in them throughout the trip. Highly recommended. I do wish the bed portion could be put in the wash machine, but i don’t see a way to remove the pad from the cardboard support. We put another pad down. Since we have one that gets a little carsick.

Kommentar:Also für mich der beste Online-Händler ever. Auch der beste Autositz ever. Qualität und Sicherheit des Autositz 100%. Einfache Montage super super leicht im Handling. hier wird Kundendienst Freundlichkeit und Korrespondenz groß geschriebenLeider war für unser kleiner Franco gewicht 2,5 kg dieser super schöne autositz zu groß deshalb mussten wir ihn leider retournieren. Der Händler hat uns ein Retouren Aufkleber zugeschickt und eine unproblematische Rücksendung veranlasst. Meine Gutschrift kam innerhalb von zwei Tagen obwohl der autositz beim Händler noch gar nicht eingetroffen war.
