My mom shows photos of me via PowerPoint before my IVDD diagnoses and after. One of the photos of me that she shows is how I ride in the car in my doggie car seat. I get strapped in, just like you would put your seat belt on. Here's a photo of me in my doggie car seat:
So as the kids stood in line to get a close up glimpse of me after the presentation, one very curious little boy said to my mom, "Where does your husband sit?" At first my mom did not understand his question. Then all of a sudden sher realized what he meant and grinned and said, "Do you mean when Frankie rides in the doggie car seat?" He shook his head with a very concerned look on his face. My mom said, "Well, actually, my husband does sometimes sit in the back seat!" And yup, it's true! Even my mom's best friend had to sit in the back seat one time when I was in my doggie seat in the front. What a life I have, huh?

Frankie that is so kool that you and your mom can help kids and other people to understand that a disability doesn't mean one can't do things or have a good life.

Hi Chandra,
My car seat was a gift from a friend. My mom googled dog car seat and found many, many choices, so you might want to give that a try. Hope that helps! I love mine!
