Hi Melanie!
I am Melissa Kann, Steve Lowtwait of Campsteve.com sent me your post. I have invented a great small dog car seat the supports and protects the dog from impact or airbag release. It is very cute and works great. The covers are removable and washable, so one can get theme covers. My dog is riding around in his Valentines day covered seat now. Plus the seat goes on bike and motercycles.
I can email photos and show you the product in person as I live in Santa Monica near Venice.
A California lawmaker has introduced a bill that would make it illegal to drive with a dog on your lap.
"Not
only is it distracting for the driver, says Assembly-member Bill Maze
(R-Visalia), but a loose pet can cause dangerous disruptions by getting
“tangled up in your steering wheel” or under the driver’s feet."
With an impending law on restraining your pets in the car for California, I think this is a great time for people to know what their options are out there for dogs to travel in the car.
Look forward to hearing from you.
All the Best,

See the video footage on TV, about the impending law on people riding with their dogs on their laps.
