How to choose car kit
What the law asks
The Highway Code says you must restrain a dog suitably, so it cannot distract you or injure anyone if you stop quickly.
Your dog and the lawHarness or booster?
A harness and seat belt suits most dogs. A booster brings a small dog up to the window line and keeps it in one place.
Harness or boosterCrash testing
Where a maker states that a restraint has been crash tested, we say so and name them, so you can see exactly whose test it is.

Water and a break every couple of hours matter as much as the kit. Take your dog with you when you leave the car in warm weather.
