Like children’s car seats, all dog car seats should be placed at the back of the vehicle and not on the front passenger seat. However, there are pet parents who are not really accustomed to having their dogs stay at the back of the car and as such, they put the pet car seat right in front. This is quite risky as air bags that deploy in a collision can hurt your dog. If you really need to put your dog in the front passenger seat, make sure to adjust the seat to as far back as you possibly can.
Putting the car seat for dogs at the back seat of the car is a lot safer since you won’t easily get distracted. Furthermore, you can easily check on your dog through your rearview mirror.
