Yes, they do. I just wish the drivers would let them ride safely with a harness and a seat belt and NOT on the drivers lap.

Then I started thinking what if I got hit or tipped over and she was tied down in the car? Went into a pond? Whether it was a tether , harness or not, she could get hurt. I do hold her collar if we go around and take turns to get off the bridge etc.. But it is something to consider, but do what’s best for you. Also, my puppy is 70 pounds.
You had her on too long of a leash.

We’re moving down soon with our doodle and are trying to figure that out.
Thanks!
Our pups are harnessed, each attached to a leash that I run through the hole in the basket behind the seat.

From the photos, it looks like you have a restraint on Max around his neck. I hope he never gets thrown off the cart and is hung by that noose.
PLEASE GET A HARNESS

Met a guy and his poodle tooling along in their cart yesterday afternoon.

Wearing matching blue sunglasses.

Some should look more and judge less. No restraint in the top photo and a harness in the lower photo.

Max looks like he is well looked after, to me.

This is a safe harness. Very wide straps. Nothing wrapping around the neck. Large areas to spread weight across a big area of the dog's body when the dog is subjected to crash loads. Connection point is on the middle of a broad area so no one strap carries entire weight of the dog.
Using 1 inch nylon straps, calling it a harness, is dangerous. In a crash the dog will be severely injured.

I drive to avoid crashes but YMMV. To each his own. There are far too many experts on ToTV.
