Dogs, like small children should be in appropriate car seats with restraints. I use a booster seat like others pictured, and a harness which doubles as a lead attachment. I walk Lexi with the harness as she has a small neck and pulls. When I show her the harness with the lead, she's ready to run. The seatbelt slides through the back of the harness, buckling in the booster (just like a toddlers booster seat). She is secure, can see, can't climb in my lap while I drive, can see out, is very happy, and most importantly safe. I know she won't become a projectile (could kill the driver, front passenger or herself) in an accident. The down side is the harness creates matts in Lexi's hair which need to be attended to. Nothing's perfect!
