On the safety side, what I mean is that I like to seat belt the carrier into a seat of the car. This is easy through the handle of a hard carrier and will protect your baby if you get into an accident. The carrier would remain in the seat and kitty would be kept from flinging around the cabin of the car. I haven't seen a soft carrier that I could do this with and not worry that the seat belt would crush the cat or the strap be too long and allow the carrier to be flung about. Seat belting my pets in is very, very important to me and we have a harness for the dog when we travel and he gets his own seat so I insist on doing the same for the kitties.
If anyone has seen a seat belt safe soft one that would be machine washable in case of accidents, please holler, I would be very interested!!
