I just wondered how your sphynx travel in the car- free roaming, crate, car seat etc.?
I am trying to decide the safest and happiest way for Nudie and Skinderella to ride in the car. Is it different with 1 vs. 2?![]()
I hate to admit it... but I am a Britney Spears mommy and Gizmo curls up on my lap and sleeps... I have been looking into something like this...

Not sure if it worth the money. It would have to be something that can go in my passenger seat, as I only have a 2 seater.
To EVERYONE WHO DRIVES WITH THEIR PET ON THEIR LAP!!!
I used to sit in the front passenger seat with Nofuratu on my lap but stopped doing this last year when a coworkers mom's little dog died in a small fender bender from the air bag!! Her mom always drove with the little dog in her lap and had a little accident with no damage to car or drivers, but the airbag was triggered and killed the dog. Her mother was devastated. Scared the crap out of me!!!
Since Nofuratu was used to sleeping on my lap, and I didnt want to change his routine because he travels so well... I got a "Sleepy Pod" (google it, its super cool).
When Im a passenger I ride with the sleepy pod on my lap. I leave it unzipped so he can get out if he wants to, but usually doesnt. On the sleepy pod web site it says it is crash tested, and made from ballistic grade luggage material. So if the airbag does go off when the carrier is on my lap I know he will be ok!
If I am driving I put him in the passenger seat, in his sleepy pod. You can buckle the car seat belt around the pod. It comes with a heater that hooks up to your car cigarette lighter adapter, and removable fur liner, and hammock for summer travel that allows air circulation under his body!
I paid over $200 for it but I totally think its worth it. Nofuratu travels in the car AT LEAST twice a week with me, and Im a horrible driver...so it puts my mind at ease.
My stepmom found a sleepy pod at the store "homesense" for only $75!!! which is a great deal. She loves hers too.
On long trips when the sun is out, sometimes Nofuratu naps in the back window and we put his food and water dish there with him. But most of the time he ends up crawling back into his "sleepy pod" because he likes it! I never have to close the lid, he just stays in on his own.
Im planning on blogging about the sleepy pod on Nofuratu's blog, Adventures of a naked cat, because I think its the best thing Ive ever bought for him as far as safety and functionality go. I thought it was too expensive originally until I heard about the dog dying from the air bag....and decided I"d rather pay a couple hundred than go through the same horrible experience. We travel with him so often, that eventually we are bound to have an accident, especially if Im driving...LOL.
Johnny LOVES LOVES LOVES the car and I also am a bad mom and let him wander. He hates being confined but he does so well about not getting down by the pedals. He as started a bad habit of stepping on the auto window button while I am driving down the freeway. I has scared he **** out of me and it need to come to a stop so I have been thinking of getting him a carrier too. He just hates being confined but I dont want to loose him. Someone posted this on facebook the other day and I am wondering if he would go for it. I think it might be worth a shot???
