Tavo: best protection dog car seat
The solution to keeping your dog safe and comfortable when travelling
Side impact and crash-test-certified to the latest United Nations ECE child restraint standard, the new Tavo Maeve Pet Protection System includes a luxury dog car seat carrier that is secured into the car by a simple five second True Lock isofix installation system. This premium pet protection system raises the bar in luxury and safety, keeping pets comfortable and passengers safe in the event of a crash.
A new survey has revealed that almost 60% of pet owners drive with their dogs unsecured. And, most concerning, nearly 1 in 10 (9%) have travelled in the most dangerous way possible, with the dog sitting on their lap. As leading vets highlight the injuries dogs can face, some of which are fatal, Tavo is raising awareness of the dangers dog owners are exposing themselves and their much-loved pets to.
Becky Guy, Road Safety Manager, England, The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), also explains: “Each year, many of us travel with our pets, be that a trip to the park, the vet or on a daytrip or holiday. However, many of these pets are unrestrained.
“The importance of restraining pets in vehicles is key in reducing the risk of injury or death not only to the pet but to other occupants in the vehicle in the event of a collision. At 30mph, an unrestrained pet could be thrown forward with a force of 30 to 60 times their own body weight.
“Ensuring pets are safely secured in vehicles not only protects them and passengers, but also reduces the chances of the pet distracting the driver. Driver distraction is a contributory factor in many collisions on our roads. If animals are secured properly, the chances of serious injury are reduced, so we welcome all innovation in this area to keep more pets and their owners safe when travelling in cars.”
Tavo has been developed by Nuna, a world leader in premium baby gear, drawing upon decades of engineering and safety expertise. As testament to its design quality, the Tavo Maeve has recently been awarded an international Red Dot Design award.
Featuring premium materials and timeless aesthetics, the Tavo Maeve 3-in-1 Pet Protection system includes a luxury carrier, vehicle base and an optional Roscoe stroller frame for older of dogs recovering from injury.
The Tavo Maeve with base starts at £500 and is available in five luxe colourways, including Onyx, Fawn, Merle, Sable and Brindle. There are also coordinating options for the Roscoe stroller, which is accented with vegan leather details in black, cognac, and chocolate.
