I’m not sure if this is best practice. But when Melbcat goes in the car I put her carrier side-on in the back seat behind the driver and use the bottom of the seatbelt to secure it.
That’s always been Miss Meow’s position. I believe either there or on in the footwell behind the front seats is the best place, but I won’t have any back seats in the new vehicle. If the front seat is safe for her that would work well, otherwise she will need to be strapped down in her carrier in the back. She’s going to hate it either way, although the sedatives the vet gave us should help.
