It is very upsetting to me to see pets not restrained in vehicles.I have always put chica in a car seat made for small toy dogs. It is available at ryanspet.com for approx. $38.00.you can also take it out of the car and use it as a cart because it has wheels. I take Chica to the mall and go into all the stores with her, and people ask about the traveler seat, and where I got it. It's Great!!!!! Chica is always safe in my car.
