Product Review: Bergan Comfort Sitting Booster

If you follow me on Instagram, you will know that Teddy comes with me everywhere.  As such, he spends a lot of time in the car.  When he was a baby, I searched high and low to find a safe way of transporting him.  At the time, the best solution was his Sleepypod Air.  It was crash tested the same as a child seat, and something that he did not mind spending too much time in.

After many car rides, I began to realize that while the Sleepypod Air is an amazing solution for travel, you need to unbuckle, and reinstall it each time you use it.  I found this too much of a nuisance, so started the search for a more permanent solution.

Two of the options I began to research were the Bergan Comfort Sitting Booster (intended for medium dogs) and the Bergan Comfort Hanging Booster (intended for small dogs).  What initially attracted me to these, was that Teddy could safely look out the window (which he loves to do), while being tethered to the seat, using his harness, and a clip attached to the car seat.

Teddy actually uses the Bergan Comfort Sitting Booster, even though it is intended for larger dogs.  The reason why I chose this one, is that it is attached using the car's seat belt, versus the hanging booster, which wraps around the seat.

Teddy now loves car rides in his booster.  It is large enough for him to lay down, or sit up and look through the window.  I feel that this is a very safe option, as it keeps him locked in, in case we need to come to a sudden stop.  What is great about it, is that its plush liner can be removed for washing, so he can hop right in there, even after muddy visits to the park.

I did a lot of research on choosing a safe way to travel in the car with Teddy, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
