L.A. Dog Company® Rider Turbo Car Seat

L.A. Dog Company® Rider Turbo Car Seat

The L.A. Dog Company® Rider Turbo Car Seat is a luxury dog car seat designed for companions who enjoy an elevated travel space with lower, tapered sides and a straight-across front. Original, patented, and handcrafted in our Palm Springs manufacturing facility, it gives your companion a dedicated seat in the front or back of the car with supportive comfort and unmistakable Animals Matter style.

With its straight-across front and lower, tapered sides, the Rider Turbo gives your companion room to sit, turn, curl, or lie down. The elevated base helps your dog enjoy a better view out the window, which may help ease restlessness or motion discomfort for companions who prefer to see where they are going.

Built with custom CertiPUR-US® certified foam made in Southern California, this dog car seat is designed to maintain its shape on errands, weekend getaways, and longer rides. The textured velvet cover gives it a rich, tailored finish while remaining practical for frequent travel.

Vehicle integration is engineered into the silhouette. A customized recessed groove allows the lap belt to wrap securely around the front, while the shoulder belt secures at the top back. The included attachment strap clips to your companion’s comfortable harness, helping them stay connected inside the seat while reducing roaming, lap riding, and driver distraction.

For two compatible companions riding together, add an additional Booster Dog Car Seat Attachment, sold separately. Each Rider Turbo Car Seat includes one attachment strap.

Choose Standard, 2X, or Limo in Black or Saddle to match your companion’s size and your vehicle setup. The cover unzips for cold-water machine washing and line drying, while the foam and inserts should not be machine washed. Use with a comfortable harness only, and review the dog car seat installation instructions before travel.

Complete your refined travel setup with Animals Matter dog car seat covers, designed to help protect your vehicle interior while keeping your companion comfortable on the road.

Handcrafted in our Palm Springs manufacturing facility and made with custom CertiPUR-US® certified foam from Southern California.

Why This Dog Car Seat Is Different

The Rider Turbo is the straight-across design in the Animals Matter dog car seat lineup. It has lower, tapered sides and a straight-across front. The Companion Car Seat® has higher sides and a contoured front scoop instead. Both share the same foam, washable covers, seat-belt integration, sizes, price, and U.S. utility patents, so the choice comes down to the front design and fabric you prefer for your dog.

Companion vs Turbo at a Glance

Same on both: foam, washable covers, seat-belt integration, sizes, price, and the same U.S. utility patents. The choice is simply a preference: a contoured front scoop or a straight-across front.

The suggested weights are for safety only. Use inner dimensions for proper fit. We suggest mapping the inner dimensions of the car seat on the floor around your companion for best fit. It is always better to go with the next size up when in doubt.
