In a preferred use of the carrier, one of the hangers is placeable over the top and back of one seat of a vehicle, such as the driver's seat of the vehicle, and the other hanger is placeable over the top and back of another vehicle seat, such as the front passenger seat of the vehicle, and the support member is contactable with a surface of the vehicle, such as its floor, to stabilize the carrier. The distance between the hangers is selectable to allow the carrier to be stably placed upon seats of varying separation.
