Or Maybe Congestion Pricing Will Help . . .

The doggy car seat:

The latest over-the-top accessory for your pooch is a doggie seat belt — which can set you back anywhere from $20 for nylon to $200 for luxurious leather.

For smaller “toy” dogs and coddled cats there’s a padded “car seat” outfitted with a harness and kept in place by the car’s seat belt.

Big dogs get a seat-belt harness that crisscrosses their chest and clicks directly into the car’s seat belt.

“Since my kids are all grown, he’s my baby,” Renata Willner said of her 5-year-old coton de Tulear-breed dog named ‘Mousse, short for Pamplemousse, French for grapefruit.

“And I wouldn’t dream of not putting my baby in a car seat,” she said as she carefully placed her dog – decked out in a Burberry collar and leash — into a $150 car seat and harness outside her Battery Park City apartment.

Willner says ‘Mousse, whom she lovingly describes as “neurotic,” loves his carrier harness because “he can see out the car window, and if he’s tired, he can sleep.”
