22 lb Shiba Inu. Will this size fit? I want to let him stick his head out the window w/o being able to jump out. Is this secure? Convertible hardtop.

For a 22lb, I would get the large but I wanted my dog to be able to lay down. The small is pretty small. It secures in with the seatbelt and has a clip for your dog's collar/harness.

W/a convertible be sure to use a harness and the strap, checking to be sure it does not allow him to have too much length to get over the door and hang himself. Also be sure the seat has been secured and can not move. The seat is very nice, comfy for the dog and they can see out very well.

I have a small med size dog he weighs 22lbs. Datschun, jack Russell mix. He loves the bed. The issue I have is the top doesn't stay arched.

Hi! My dog is about five pounds and he can easily turn all the way around in it. I actually have the small one, didn't realize my review had ended up under the large one.

We use this seat for our poodle/shih tzu 7lb mix and she loves it..yes, looking out the window is perfect for her. About sticking head out window? of the car? I would never suggest that. Even though there is a safety clip inside the seat, I Dont think its ever a good idea to let any dog stick their head out of the window of the car...just not safe for pet. The idea of the seat is safety and it does this well. Our pup, like I said loves the seat. She jumps right into it whenever we take her anywhere. She can also put her front legs on the front edge of the seat - we think she really enjoys her ride!

I have a 15lb shitzu. He fits perfect. But not alot of room to move around. If the dog needs a little more space i suggest a bigger one. My dog only uses it for sleeping.

Hi there. It depends on the shape of your dog. I have a 15lb small poodle mix--he's got long legs, so if he's sitting up he needs to slouch just a bit to be able to look out of the mesh window, as all dogs want to do (so I don't keep him in this very long). Westies typically have shorter legs, so he MAY be able to fit in this, but it'll be a snug fit, since he's probably going to be stockier (and the space in the bookbag is pretty narrow--perfect for lean pups like mine, but harder on the little dudes that are shorter and wider).

I think a shih-Tzu would fit just fine. I have a Lhaso (longer than usual) and he fits fine, but he just gets in and lays down. It is not really built to move around and play in, but it is big enough for him to get in and turn himself around if he wants. If he stretched out with front and hind legs extended, he would be too long.

I would say "no". My Doberman/lab mix is only 65 lbs, and I want him to stretch out as he grows. I got him when he was a tiny puppy and first bought the 36" version and before he was 5 months old, he had already out grew it and had to buy him the 42" version. I tend to upgrade when the top of his head can touch the top of the kennel. Now it is time to buy the 48" version unfortunately. I hadn't planned on this dog getting so big! If you haven't already purchased this, I recommend you go with the 48".

Yes I purchased it. Looks nice isn't as sturdy as I would like. But if your dogs are trained to ride in the car it will work just fine. The side bars move and have no locking system so for a dog that is an escape artist this would be an easy way for them to end up in the back seat. Looks good fits fine.

Hi, my son has a 22 pound Corgi , Corgi's have very long bodies and very short legs......she needed height to see out! However, she could only sit in this car seat and could not lie down -was too small for her long body...they returned it and bought 2 long outdoor seat cushions and stacked them ( for a 2 person couch outdoor love seat so the cushions could handle wet feet and mud easily ) and a chest harness for the dog that attaches to the seat belt - so she won't choke or fly forward if they stop suddenly...she can sit and lie down as she pleases...every dog is different... if your dog is going on long trips then it is important that it can lie down in it's seat and not just see out...good luck!

It might be tight if he stands up the whole time. My Dog lays down most of the time, but stands when she wants to gaze out the window. She is only about 18 inches at the shoulder and there is room to spare It's a very nice device to keep the dog safe, as well as keeping their fur contained while providing them a comfortable ride. Good Luck!

I believe he would be comfortable. If when you see the booster seat you don't believe he will, it can always be easily returned. My little dog weighs 22lbs and she loves hers.

It is a little bit of a headache. I have two dogs,a twelve year old lab and a 3 year old malamute. The lab has a really hard time and the malamute is able to squeak through. The rear window is pretty easy to remove and replace if that is a concern though. Over all the top is much better than the stock top that come with jeeps. I really think jeep should make this top a standard option as it just seems to fit better. My only disappointment is the top does not fold down.

Good Sunday morning! We have the XL model and can accommodate two dogs. One is a 70 lb. Olde English Bulldogge and the other is a Boston Terrier mix about 38 lbs. Having four wheels is key as the weight shift within is inevitable as they move around so won't tip over. Most of the upper part of the carrier is mesh. The top unzips and so does the whole front end for ease of entry/exit. The carrier sits about 5-6" off the ground so not too difficult to help an ailing dog inside. Our Bulldogge is invalid and frequently needs a "boost" to get inside and BOTH dogs love it! We put a cushion inside to lay on as the floor is firm. Would strongly recommend this carrier. Hope that helps!!

I had my 15 pound shih tzu and my 8 pound shih tzu in it together and they fit just fine. Chickie, the 8 pound one, actually laid down in it, but Kimber, my big guy, sat and looked out the window:) I cannot tell you how much i LOVE this seat. It is good looking, comfortable, and most of all, very safe for my dogs, and they don't try to get out of it:) I would buy it and if they don't fit, buy another for your second Bishon. I know this is an expensive seat, but I have 4 shih tzu, and if i ever have to have them in the truck with me at one time, i would buy a second in a minute. I hope this helps a little:) I had my 15 pound shih tzu and my 8 pound shih tzu in it together and they fit just fine.

My dog is a Cavashon and weighs about 16 pounds. She has short legs like a doctson (sp) and is also very long like one. I have two of them. One for the front seat of the car and one for the house. It crowds the front seat but that is the only thing she will ride in without screaming at the top of her lungs and when I let her out she wants to sit right in my lap in front of the steering wheel. I think it is more than big enough for your dog and I certainly don't think you will be disappointed with it. I hope I have been able to help you. Sincerely, Rose Mary Owles
