I must confess...but I am one of these people.

Fenway has a "cubby" in the backseat that is secure. It's basically a babyseat for dogs so he can look outside. I bought him a seatbelt/harness that attaches to his "cubby" but only used it once. It now sits on the floor of the backseat. I stopped using it because he would look at me and pout (like a little kid). I've thought of making him use it again because I once slammed my breaks to avoid hitting a cat and the first thing I thought of was "if Fenway was in the car, he would have went flying". But did I put the seatbelt on him after that incident? No. Also, I keep thinking what if the car is on fire and I have to quickly get him out? What if I have trouble with the seatbelt?

I have to pick him up from doggy daycare after work. I will put his cubby in the middle of back seat (so it's not directly in the sun) and put his seatbelt on. I'll see how it goes. But I know he's going to make me feel bad and he's going to pout and look sad - like I'm punishing him.
