The dogs have always travelled in the boot of the car, but all my cars they travel in are hatchbacks so they have light and can see out if they want. Some of the dogs in work travelled very happily in the boot of saloon cars, but mine aren't used to that. Will try them in the boot and see how it goes, other than that it will be the floor behind the front seats. The Octavia is our main car so it won't be that often the dogs will be in it anyway.
Will run this one through the winter and see how it goes.

What colour is it? What model?

Any photos?

There have been times when I wished my kids had been in the boot rather than the car.

Suppose it depends if they're minatures and travel in a cage. Still dont see how it works safely. I have a couple of seatbelt harnesses for when mine go in the back seat of a saloon. Far better option. Still hoping the op comes back with car info - they're only up the road from me so even if its not one of my old ones it'll be nice to keep a keek out for them.

Just to clarify, are you talking about dogs or are you answering Trikey's question about kids?
