Student’s got car pet safety licked

A new system developed by a University of Dundee student could offer safer car travel for dogs when it is unveiled at this year’s Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design and Architecture Degree Show.

Minrui Jiao, 21, says that her prototype travel system ‘Out Dog’ features a base plate – like a child seat – and is designed to work with the international standard Isofix safety system.

A harness is also integrated into the design, though installed to allow the animal to move without too much restriction.

The product design exchange student from Beijing’s University of Science and Technology says that she was inspired by her family’s puppy back in the Chinese capital to develop her idea.
