I'll check out those two companies...thanks!!!</p> <p>@sslm: Great - this is what I was thinking we needed - something to strap her harness to...I'll check out petsmart next time I buy food!</p> <p>Thanks for the input everyone!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970268 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 10:41:02 +0000 brownie 970268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two pups a 90 pound mutt and a 20 pound sheltie. The sheltie often hides in the footwell under the carseat (rear facing) because that is a dark tunnel. The big dog sits on the back of the van. In the car the big dog sits at attention next to carseat. We worried he would kick the kid to death but he is more focused in not getting comfy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970215 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 09:51:57 +0000 MamaChin 970215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also, the dog and baby are never in the car together unless both DH and I are there. So I'm in the back with the baby and DH is up front with the dog. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970212 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 09:50:36 +0000 MamaChin 970212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have anything! Our dog isn't really that interested in LO when we're in the car. She'll go to the back and sniff around a little and then hop back to the front where she can look out the window. We have a Shitzu FTR. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970172 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 09:24:46 +0000 JerricaBenton 970172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the same system as @sslm. We hook the seatbelt through the loop in the harness. We also did this before baby for safety since he's a little guy. He loves sitting in the back with LO and with the seatbelt, he can get close enough to look but not to touch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970169 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 09:22:35 +0000 spaniellove 970169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No LO, but our dog has a Snoozer car seat that keeps her contained. She wears a harness that clips onto the seatbelt, too. It might be bulky with the two car seats, but safe! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970100 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 08:06:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 970100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh. I hadn't thought of this! My dog usually sits in his bed in the backseat- I k ow its not the very safest for him but he gets carsick so we do whatever works. I guess I thought I would do the same but on the side if the car seat. </p> <p>We did ride in bils SUV and he loved being in his bed in the cargo trunk area but we just have a regular car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970080 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 07:50:29 +0000 Dandelion 970080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dogs ride in the back of the station wagon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970079 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 07:49:04 +0000 lomom 970079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put him in a pop up kennel in the cargo space. He sheds like crazy, so the kennel helps to contain some of that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970041 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 07:10:02 +0000 sslm 970041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a harness that he wears for walks and everything, so we put that on him. Then we have this thing that clips into the seatbelt on one side, and his harness on the other. If we make the seatbelt thing as short as it goes he can't get at the baby. </p> <p>Sorry, I'm not sure what to call the "thing". Lol. We've had it for years, before baby, because it's safer! We bought it at petsmart though, so I'm sure you can ask someone there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970034 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 07:00:00 +0000 Happygal 970034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What kind of car do you have? Will the dog be beside your baby, or in the cargo space?</p> <p>Ruff Rider is a good company, although the harness is kind of a pain for fitting. Kurgo can be used both for the cat and for walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dog-and-baby-in-the-care-togetherneed-recommendations#post-970025 Sun, 28 Jul 2013 06:45:02 +0000 Mrs D 970025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So - LO is due in about 4 weeks and I am in the final stages of prepping everything. It recently came to my attention that we need to get something to contain our four legged child while we have our future two legged child in the car. I know there are harnesses and buckles of different kinds to accomplish this...</p> <p>What do you use to keep your dog secured when traveling in the car with LO? </p>
