I have 2 small dogs who get upset when I leave them, so I bought this to add to my mobility scooter and they can now take rides with me. One of my dogs is 8-9 lbs and the other is about 6-7 lbs and there is plenty of room for both. As I ride, they take enjoyment out of looking out the side windows and watching the view, and my therapy dog is pleased to enjoy taking these trips with me as well. I put towels on the bottom in case of incontinence, however that hasn't been a problem, and it does add extra cushion. If you want to take your dog or cat for a ride, this is the way to go.
