Snoozer Large Console Dog Car Seat - Travel Pet Bed Carrier for Small Dogs up to 12 lbs | Safe & Calm Car Travel with Seat Belt Harness Strap | Removable Machine Washable Diamond Pattern Cover | Perfect for Road Trips, Vet Visits & Daily Commutes

I have a 2021 Honda Odyssey, and the center console does not have a lid that lifts up; it has a sliding lid to get into the console. Most center console dog seats show to strap the front over the opened console lid and then strap the rear straps to areas behind the front seat. I have 13 inches between the front seats on my van.I bought from Amazon many years ago the Kurgo Dog Booster Seat, this is a raised bed that straps over the passenger headrest and hangs at a level that the dog can see out of the window and while I thought that my new Maltese would be comfortable using it, she did not like being that far away from me and always wanted to jump out, so I felt that it was not safe to use.I bought the PETSFIT Center Console Dog Car Seat for my 5-pound Maltese two weeks ago. When I received it and unfolded it out, it did not measure the full 10 inches wide. I found that when I placed her in the bed, she could not turn around or lie down comfortably, so I returned it.I decided to order the Snoozer Center Console Dog Car Seat. Since the small size is only 9 inches wide, I ordered the larger size that is 12 inches wide so that she would have more room to move around while still hooked to the safety strap.When I received it, I installed it between the front seats and was able to use the front strap under a lip at the front of the console. I then put the rear straps around each front seat as the instructions say to do, then I also tested and put the rear straps to the metal loop of the second-row seats. Both will work and so it will be what works best for each car and secure the car seat. I have armrests that fold down in the center console area, and while I can still fold down the armrest of the driver’s seat, I am finding that the console bed is at a good height, and I can use the padded edge if I want to rest my arm while driving.I took her for a ride, and she was so much happier being next to me as I was driving. She was able to turn around in the seat and look back and then around to look forward. She had enough room to lie down and rest her head on the padded surface and was much more relaxed.The quality of the bed is superior; I like that it is made in the USA with safe fabric, unlike some products that you don’t know where the fabric is coming from and if it is made of toxic materials.I like that you can remove the cover and wash it, and the thick foam of the bed is of high quality and has the firmness to stay in its original position.If you have the space, I would recommend getting the larger bed; it is well worth the cost, and it will give your pet more room.I have included photos showing the van's console and how the bed is hooked up.
