A platform and safety harness for supporting and restraining a pet within a vehicle comprises a resilient base member, preferably of tubular steel, with vertical arms connected to opposite sides of the platform adjacent the rear thereof and horizontal arms spaced below and parallel to the platform, for installing the carrier on a vehicle seat with the platform supporting the pet above the vehicle seat at about the window level in the vehicle. The base member can be secured in place by a conventional vehicle seat belt. The carrier also includes a flexible, non-choking pet harness, an anchor affixed to the upper surface of the platform and a flexible lead releasably interconnecting the harness and anchor for safely restraining a pet on the platform. The platform can also include a removable water cup with lid, and a carpeted or otherwise cushioned top surface, which preferably slopes downwardly and rearwardly, to facilitate the pet bracing itself during travel of the carrier in the vehicle. The carrier is simple, durable and highly effective to protect the pet and human occupants against injury and to keep the pet calm and interested in the view through the vehicle windows.
