Buyer’s guideLookout® Dog Car Seats

Which Lookout® is right for yourpup?

A Snoozer booster seat lifts your dog up to the window, which helps calm nerves and reduce car sickness. It keeps them in one spot so you can focus on the road, and protects your upholstery. Every seat is hand-sewn to order in Piedmont, South Carolina. Here’s how to choose.

Step 1 · Seat style

Three ways to ride

Every Snoozer seat raises your dog to window height on a soft, Sherpa-lined base and comes with a tether strap that clips to your dog’s harness. The difference is where the seat goes and what it holds.
