The sidewalls and rear panel velcro to the bottom cushion and buckle around the Cockpit roll bars while an upper band reinforces the protective structure.

For A Perfect Cockpit Fit
For A Perfect Cockpit Fit
Cockpit BoosterSeat creates a perfect Cockpit fit by occupying the excess space around your copilot with additional protective padding.
Just think how a delicate vase shifts and jostles in a big box when you whip through turns, evade potholes, accelerate when the light turns green, and brake hard before a speed bump.
Cockpit BoosterSeat occupies that excess space so that your precious copilot always has the safest possible ride when theyโre a little small for their Cockpit.
But, unlike a sumo suit or bubble wrap, BoosterSeat doesnโt cause overheating.
Window-like cutouts in the panels allow cooling airflow and heat ventilation for a safer, more comfortable ride in hot weather.
Components
BoosterSeat consists of four padded inserts:
- Two sidewalls
- Rear panel
- Bottom cushion
Use all, some, or only one of the 1in | 2.5cm padded inserts as needed to create the perfect โcomfortably snugโ fit.
Two velcro bands are included to reinforce the upper structure.
The unpadded band reinforces without occupying additional space while the padded band shifts the inserts 1in | 2.5cm closer in on each side.
The BoosterSeat height is also adjusted by removing the padding inside the bottom cushion.
Assembly
To install your Cockpit BoosterSeat, first determine if all or only some of the components are necessary for your dog.
Then follow these steps:
- Place the bottom cushion over the original cushion inside your Cockpit.
- Place the rear panel back against the rear upper roll bar so that it accommodates the Cockpitโs natural half-moon curve
- Secure the hard velcro along the bottom of the panel to the soft velcro on the bottom cushion.
- Insert the sidewalls in the same manner.
- Adjust the placement as needed, then wrap the padded or unpadded reinforcement strap around the inserts
- Wrap the straps around the upper roll bars, secure the buckles, and tighten the straps.
Cockpit BoosterSeat is craftsman built in saddlery workshops to deliver a quality protective fit for adult and puppy copilots who donโt quite fill out their Cockpit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hidden
Hidden
How do I know if my dog needs a BoosterSeat?
You should consider a BoosterSeat for your copilot if they have a lot of open space around them when riding in their Cockpit. Open or excess free space around your copilot allows the dog to be thrust around or agitated during aggressive riding or in a crash situation. The more space there is, the greater acceleration occurs, which increases the risk of injury or the possibility that the harness straps might fail.
The BoosterSeat occupies the excess space with soft padding to reduce the chance of this kind of agitation and increase protection.
Will the BoosterSeat block airflow?
The side and rear insert panels feature large cutouts to permit airflow and ventilation. Nevertheless, your BoosterSeat will reduce the overall airflow to your copilotโs body when riding in their Cockpit. In consequence, it is preferrable to maintain movement and avoid prolongued idling on hot days with the BoosterSeat in use.
Can I still strap my dog in correctly with the BoosterSeat installed?
Yes, you can still strap your copilot in securely when riding with the BoosterSeat installed. Depending on your dogโs size and how you have the inserts configured inside the Cockpit, harness straps can pass over or around the BoosterSeat inserts, or through the large airflow cutouts.
Is the BoosterSeat only meant for puppies?
No. The BoosterSeat is most frequently deployed to provide comfort and protection to growing puppies who ride in their full size Cockpit but that is not its exclusive use. The BoosterSeat allows any adult dog to ride safely and comfortably in a Cockpit size intended for a larger copilot.
The BoosterSeat can be ideal for riders who obtain a used Cockpit through a third party but have a smaller dog or for a copilot who inherits their heritage Cockpit from a larger K9 predecessor.
