The Wall Street Journal reported in the Cars column in July 2007 that, “Pets roaming free in cars face the same dangers as passengers who don’t buckle up. Little dogs and cats will benefit from booster seats that are secured with straps and seat belts such as the Midnight Pass Inc’s Pet Cruiser Auto™ seat. Making pets comfortable is probably the first step toward stress-free travel as well as having one less distraction on the road,” reported Elva Ramirez, columnist for the WSJ.
