What a majestic creature
I mean it’s funny, but just buy a seat belt adapter to clip them in. Everyone will be safer
Obligatory PSA, please put restraints on your dogs in cars to keep them safe.
To keep yourself safe too. Anything loose in the car becomes a projectile during a crash.
So your mom is a projectile?
I couldn’t resist.
😡 take it back right now
safer but lets face it. the moment your taking a motor vehicle you greatly increased your unsafe condition and the restraint is a drop in a bucket at that point…
That’s a load of bullshit.
Modern vehicles are exceptionally safe when operated responsibly. Safety restraints and safety equipment have come a long way, as long as you’re wearing them.
However an unrestrained body in a vehicle becomes a projectile.
In the USA this is one of the reasons why it is easily constitutional to have laws requiring the use of seatbelts, because your unrestrained body isn’t just your problem.
If you look at it like you are which is being safer than before. This article outlays more what im talking about https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/car-accidents-cause-death-injury-trauma-why-do-we-shrug-ncna1282193
Modern vehicles are exceptionally safe when operated responsibly.
And also when everyone around you using one is also doing so responsibly. Which, let’s be honest, is not reasonable to assume.
Yeah but even these days vehicles are designed with that in mind.
It’s truly awe inspiring what you can walk away from these days.
That depends a lot on the vehicle. If you’re in something small like a sedan, you might as well be on a bike for all the protection it’ll provide from a collision with an SUV or pickup truck
Instructions unclear, restrained my dog in a safe and commanded him to drive my car
Does anyone have any recommendations on decent restraints for a large dog? We usually use a ‘seatbelt’ thing but I’m not sure if it’s the best option.
Mine aren’t big, so I don’t know if this is helpful, but we use a harness that has a little clip that clips into the seatbelt. It’s pretty secure, they get a bit of leeway, but it will secure them in an accident enough not to turn into a missile.
Owning a dog really is like this. They do something kind of awkward or annoying so you buy some solution to try to correct it and they do something even more weird with that solution.
The struggle is real.
