My dog isn't used to being crated. I could probably get him to tolerate it for the ride, but the crate I have is so big that it would obscure my vision out the back of the car and I think the crate itself would move around. Its not an airline crate.

This morning I used the seatbelt harness one and put my dog in the passenger seat. He wasn't sure what to do with himself. I parked the car and went inside to get coffee and when I came out it looked like he was gone! But he was lying down on the drivers seat. So he can still move around quite a bit with it on.

My dog is in the car almost every single day. I'm eager to hear answers to this.
