I bought this for my 3 year old 12 lb Yorkie.  She likes to ride between us in our Toyota minivan.  I actually turned the high end forward toward the dash since she likes to put her feet on the edge of it. It fits perfectly between the front seats and fastens securely to the console.  I am very pleased with the quality and now I know she's riding much more securely. I have found no negatives about it.
