“Sleepypod is the first pet product manufacturer to test its pet safety restraints for cars at U.S., Canadian, and European child restraint systems standards with successful results,” says Michael Leung, Sleepypod co-founder and lead product designer. “In each test, Sleepypod’s safety harnesses and carriers kept a crash test pet from accelerating forward and leaving the test bench while mitigating damaging forces and limiting rotation.”
Sleepypod carriers and safety harnesses include Pet Passenger Restraint System (PPRS) components designed by Sleepypod to secure a pet in a vehicle and restrict harmful movement during a sudden vehicle stop or frontal collision.

Clickit Terrain and Clickit Sport safety harnesses were crash tested using DUKE 2.0, Sleepypod’s proprietary crash test dog weighing 75 pounds. Find more information about DUKE 2.0 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nb210V0_on8.
The Sleepypod, Sleepypod Air, and Sleepypod Atom pet carriers were crash tested using Sleepypod’s crash test cat, CLEO 2.0. The Sleepypod Mini carrier was crash-tested using Sleepypod’s smallest crash test dog, MAX Mini.
