THIS BOOSTER SEAT SAVED MY DOG'S LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!
I got into a horrible accident less than one week after receiving the booster seat. I was T-boned on a freeway overpass by some jerk hit and run driver. My car spun out of control, slammed into the guardrail several times, and almost flipped over the 50ft overpass before slamming down and finally coming to a stop. I looked in the back and my chihuahua mix, Gustav, was on the floor ***still attached to the booster harness*** and was happily smiling and wagging his tail as if he had just ridden a fun roller coaster! There wasn't a scratch on him. Not even a bruise. My Scion TC was beyond wrecked, the axle and wheels were even ripped off. Every airbag was deployed. Gustav was wearing a harness secured to the booster in the *front* seat. What happened is that the box-like booster protected my dog from the airbags and the harness connected kept my dog from being thrown in the car or going through the windshield. He had jumped in the back seat after the car stopped. One of the CHP officers on the scene told me there was no way my dog would've survived that accident without the seat and harness. He said he's seen a lot of dead dogs. I'm tearing up right now because I'm playing with Gustav instead of cremating him. As for me, I walked away with bruises and a torn ligament. I just have to use a walker and cane to get around for a month or two and I'll be fine. Oh yeah, and the booster seat suffered zero damage so I can continue to use it when I can drive again. I love Gustav so very much. Thank you to the people at Kurgo for saving him. Thank you thank you thank you and God bless!!! ********* Edit October 29th, 2018: I was reading another review where someone mentioned that a Kurgo product failed a vehicle safety test. I looked it up and the claim is true. However - The test, performed by the nonprofit Center for Pet Safety (CPS), was performed in 2015 for the Kurgo Wander Carrier, a backseat attachable pet carrier. I cannot speak for the carrier in question. I can only say that this particular Kurgo product saved my dog's life. What I left out earlier is that both the CHP officer on the scene and the doctor who examined me were so impressed with the booster seat that they took note of the brand so they could buy the seat for their own dogs. Sorry for the long edit, I just want y'all to believe me. XD
