AND FAIL THEY LIKELY WILL. Please check out http://www.centerforpetsafety.org/test-results/pet-seat-pilot-study/ Center For Pet Safety check on, granted only 4, seat holders.

Hey Pepper – many cars do have indicators, but for some cars, the weight of a pet is enough to turn on air bags. Having a pet up front also makes them vulnerable to hitting the windshield during a sudden stop, and can even turn them into projectiles in case of an accident.

No reason to put you or your dog in more danger than necessary!

Check your owners manual. Or, do you have an indicator light? Mine reads “off” if the seat is empty or if there is something on it under a certain weight limit. Not sure what that is, but my purse and a shopping bag are not enough to activate it. When I have a passenger the indicator light reads “on”.

My airbags will not disable, and I am more concerned about the airbags harming my best friend, than than I am the accident itself. Any ideas or knowledge of a good brand would be greatly appreciated!
