Do you use a dog car seat for your Chihuahua? We all know we need to keep our Chihuahuas secure in the car. For their safety and ours. They could easily cause us to have an accident. And if, God forbid, and accident did occur, we wouldn’t want them flying through the windshield, right?
Below are the top 10 (in my opinion) dog car seats on Amazon. There are different price ranges, different colors and styles but what they all do is keep your fur baby safe and comfortable when in a car.
I personally plan on buying one of these because with my new grand baby here, I don’t want my dog jumping on the baby in the car.
One note about dog car seats. Most of them come with clips to attach to your dog’s harness to keep them in the car seat. Please make sure you have your dog wear a harness and attach it to the harness and not your dog’s collar as attaching it to the collar can cause the dog to be strangled if he tries to jump out or is thrown out in a car crash.
Click the photo or the name of the seat to find out more about it and to order. Oh and just to let you know these are affiliate links. That means if you buy something by clicking on them and going over to Amazon, I get a very small amount of whatever you paid but it won’t cost you anymore than if you went to Amazon directly.
Kurgo Skybox Dog Booster Seat
The Kurgo Skybox is one of my favorite car seats (my other favorite is the last one at the end of this post) of the 10 I’m featuring. It’s affordable and comes in different colors.
You can find it here: Kurgo Skybox car seat
It comes with a clip strap that allows you to attach it to the seat belt and to your dog’s harness or collar. This prevents the dog from jumping out of the seat and it’s long enough to allow the dog to turn and lay down.
This seat is just the right size for a Chihuahua. I like that it sits high so your Chi can look out the window.
The liner is washable and it might be a good idea to wash it as soon as you get it as some said they noticed a chemical smell when they first bought it. Only a few noticed the smell so if you do notice it and it bothers you, just wash the liner first and let the seat air out a day or two before putting it in the car.
It says it fits dogs up to 30 pounds but most people said they didn’t think it would be comfortable for a dog over 20 pounds. It is collapsible for easy storage. It also has a zippered side pocket.

Solvit Tagalong Pet Booster Seat, Deluxe
I love the styling on the dog car seat, don’t you? So cute. Although they say the size for this is large, it only fits dogs up to 18 pounds, so it’s obviously not that large. It includes the safety leash, and has a removable, washable liner.

K&H PET PRODUCTS Bucket Booster Pet Seat – Elevated Pet Booster Seat
If you need a seat that will fit 2 of your little guys, this one is perfect. This is the one I have in my own Amazon wish list since I plan on taking my dogs on a trip next Fall. I also like that this is elevated so they can see out the windows. This seat is easy to clean and easy to install, both which are pluses for me. I love the print this comes in but you can also get it in tan and grey.

Etna Pet Booster Seat
Here is a nice low cost choice. The biggest complaint about it is it says it’s for dogs up to 20 pounds but folks said it really is for dogs 10 pounds and under.
It has a zippered storage compartment and sheepskin lining.

Snoozer Lookout I Pet Car Seat, Small, Black
Available in 9 colors this car seat is a great option! It’s washable, but don’t put it in the dryer, just hang dry. It’s very padded and soft and comfy for your fur kid too. Also comes with a harness strap and what they call a “Lookout Travel Rack” which allows your pet to have food and water while on the go.
Customers say it comfortably fits dogs up to 15 pounds. Read more about it here: Snoozer Lookout Car Seat
Snoozer Luxury Console Pet Car Seat, Small Luxury, Anthracite/Black
I love the padded look of this car seat. This one is better for smaller dogs 8 pounds and under. They do have a larger version for bigger dogs though.
It comes with a safety strap for securing your dog’s harness and the pad insert is washable.

I’m surprised you didn’t list “Sleepy Pod!” It’s rated number one for safety. My Chihuahuas love to travel in them. They can curl up and be cozy. They can also unzip in half and be a bed. Pricey but well made and worth it. Check them out at their website for details but you can find lower prices on Amazon.

Is that safe to use a baby seat for my little dog?

Do you mean one made for human babies? No, they won't really work correctly for dogs.
