Overview

Amazon Basics keeps this one simple: an 18 by 18 by 16 inch Oxford fabric booster with a removable, washable cover and an adjustable safety leash built in. At 2.57 lbs it is light enough to move between vehicles without much hassle.

With over 5,400 ratings and a 4.6 average, it holds its own against name-brand boosters at a noticeably lower price. The tan color is neutral enough to blend into most car interiors, and the maximum weight recommendation of 25 lbs puts it squarely in the small-dog category.

This is the kind of product that does not try to be fancy. It is a straightforward booster with a wash-and-reuse cover, which is exactly what a lot of buyers are looking for on a first car seat for a small dog.

Pros

  • Strong review volume (5,400+) at a 4.6 average rating
  • Lower price than most competing boosters
  • Removable, machine washable cover
  • Includes an adjustable safety leash

Cons

  • No memory foam or extra padding beyond the standard cushion
  • Limited to dogs up to 25 lbs
  • Basic Oxford fabric rather than premium materials
