A carrier strap is coupled to the harness panel and wearable by the user or connectable to the vehicle.
1. A pet carrying system for carrying a pet by a wearer and securing the pet in a vehicle, the pet carrying system comprising:
a pet harness comprising:
a pet harness panel;
a pet strap coupled to the harness panel and having at least one segment configured to form an enclosed loop around a torso of the pet to selectively secure the pet harness panel to the pet; and
a pet harness attachment member coupled to the pet harness panel;
a carrier harness selectively and detachably securable to the pet harness, the carrier harness comprising:
a carrier harness panel;
a carrier harness attachment member coupled to the carrier harness panel and configured to be selectively and directly engageable with the pet harness attachment member;
a posterior support coupled to the carrier harness panel and configured to support a posterior portion of a pet secured by the carrier harness;
an anterior support coupled to the carrier harness panel and engageable with the posterior support; and
a carrier strap coupled to the harness panel and configured to be transitional between a wearing configuration, wherein the carrier strap is worn by a wearer, and vehicle configuration, wherein the carrier strap is secured to the vehicle;
the pet harness being configured to be wearable individually by the pet and separate from the carrier harness.
2. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , further comprising a middle restraint coupled to the carrier harness panel and configured to be extendable around a mid-section of the pet to secure the pet to the carrier harness.
3. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , wherein in the wearing configuration, the carrier strap is transitional between a front wearing configuration, wherein the carrier harness panel is positioned over a wearer's chest, and a back wearing configuration, wherein the carrier harness panel is positioned over a wearer's back.
4. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , further comprising a waist strap coupled to the carrier harness panel, the waist strap being extendable about the wearer's mid-section to secure the carrier harness to the wearer.
5. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , further comprising a posterior vehicle connector coupled to the carrier harness panel in spaced relation to the carrier strap and engageable with the vehicle to secure the carrier harness to the vehicle.
6. The pet carrying system recited in claim 5 , wherein the posterior vehicle connector includes a seat belt loop coupled to the carrier harness panel and configured to define an opening sized to receive the vehicle seat belt.
7. The pet carrying system recited in claim 5 , wherein the posterior vehicle connector includes an anchor strap coupled to the carrier harness panel and securable to an anchor in the vehicle.
8. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , further comprising a protective covering selectively connectable to the carrier harness panel and configured to be disposable over the pet to cover a portion of the pet.
9. The pet carrying system recited in claim 8 , wherein the protective covering includes a covering panel defining a covering periphery, the covering periphery being adjustable to conform to the size of the pet.
10. The pet carrying system recited in claim 8 , further comprising a hood selectively connectable to the protective covering and disposable over the head of the pet.
11. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , wherein the pet strap includes a first looped segment adapted to circumnavigate the pet's neck and a second looped segment adapted to circumnavigate the pet's midsection.
12. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , wherein the posterior support and the carrier harness panel collectively define a pair of posterior leg openings sized to receive the posterior legs of the pet.
13. The pet carrying system recited in claim 12 , wherein the posterior support and the carrier harness panel collectively define a tail opening between the pair of posterior leg openings sized to receive the tail of the pet.
14. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , wherein the anterior support defines an opening sized to allow the head of the pet to be advanced therethrough.
15. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , wherein the pet harness attachment member defines a first attachment face and the carrier harness attachment member defines a second attachment face, the first attachment face being disposed in contact with the second attachment face when the pet harness attachment member is engaged to the carrier harness attachment member.
16. The pet carrying system recited in claim 1 , wherein the carrier strap includes:
first and second shoulder straps selectively connectable to the carrier harness panel; and
a vehicle strap connectable to the carrier harness panel;
the first and second shoulder strap being connected to the carrier harness panel and the vehicle strap being disconnected from the carrier harness panel when the carrier strap is in the wearing configuration;
the vehicle strap being connected to the carrier harness panel and the first and second shoulder straps being disconnected from the carrier harness panel when the carrier strap is in the vehicle configuration.
17. A pet carrying system for carrying a pet by a wearer and securing the pet in a vehicle, the pet carrying system comprising:
a pet harness comprising:
a pet harness panel configured to be selectively securable to the pet; and
a pet harness attachment member coupled to the pet harness panel;
a carrier harness selectively and detachably securable to the pet harness, the carrier harness comprising:
a carrier harness panel;
a carrier harness attachment member coupled to the carrier harness panel and configured to be selectively engageable with the pet harness attachment member;
a posterior support coupled to the carrier harness panel and configured to support a posterior portion of a pet secured by the carrier harness;
an anterior support coupled to the carrier harness panel and engageable with the posterior support; and
the carrier harness configured to be transitional between a wearing configuration, wherein the carrier harness is worn by a wearer, and vehicle configuration, wherein the carrier harness is secured to the vehicle;
the pet harness being configured to be wearable individually by the pet and separate from the carrier harness.
18. The pet carrying system recited in claim 17 , further comprising a middle restraint coupled to the carrier harness panel and configured to be extendable around a mid-section of the pet to secure the pet to the carrier harness.
19. The pet carrying system recited in claim 17 , further comprising a posterior vehicle connector coupled to the carrier harness panel in spaced relation to the carrier strap and engageable with the vehicle to secure the carrier harness to the vehicle.
20. The pet carrying system recited in claim 17 , wherein the pet harness attachment member defines a first attachment face and the carrier harness attachment member defines a second attachment face, the first attachment face being disposed in contact with the second attachment face when the pet harness attachment member is engaged to the carrier harness attachment member.
