Abstract: A pet car seat includes a base, a back separable from and connectable to the base, two posts separable from and connectable to spaced apart openings in a front edge of the base, and a net that connects to one side of the back, wraps around the posts, and connects to another side of the back. The net is removably connected to the sides of the back. The pet car seat is placed on a passenger seat in an automobile and the automobile's seat belt is passed through openings in handles extending behind the back thus securing the pet car seat in the passenger seat. A pet is confined to the base of the pet car seat by the net but not restricted from movement within the base. An additional measure of protection is obtained from a harness about the pet and removably fastened to a connector positioned on a front side of the back, the harness having reflective portions.
