    A lot of wires are out the way because of the toddler proofing. Will have to keep chargers out of reach when we are charging things.
    How do you travel with your puppy/dog in the car, my other half says in the footwell, I don’t fancy esme sitting on the chairs etc. So i was thinking of something in the boot, but other half not keen on that. I have a s max

    Holly has always travelled in the tailgate since she was a puppy. At first we just put her crate in the back. Now we have a hatchback (Golf SV) and a dog guard. We have an old tarp that we put in the back to help her grip and protect the floor of the tailgate.

    She loves sitting up and watching the cars and scenery behind us. Sometimes we see people in the car behind waving at her (come on, own up folks, we've all done it!).

    We have a crate in the back of the car, even little pups have been fine after the first few days. During the first few days I put a soft dog bed in there and only go really short journeys to start with.

    Pongo came back from the breeders aged 10 weeks in the footwell at my feet (and on my lap). He only just fit.
    After that he travelled in the boot (Fiesta hatchback) and that was fine, until he got too big. (Pongo is a big lad!).
    Now I have a seat-cover in the back seat, it is sort of hammock-shaped so it attaches to the headrests of back seats and front seats and pretty much protects everything from mud. He's happy in there and has lots of room, and he can stick his nose out the window.
    (But nothing, nothing protects the car from dog-hair. Nothng.)
