Dog Tent by Roraima (Product Review)

This is an instant pop-up dog tent by #Roraima. We opened the bag and UP it went, easy peasy. The size is a generous 42"X42"X31". My German Shepherd, miniature Schnauzer, and runt Maltese can all fit inside, but I'd only put any two of the three in it so there's plenty of room to move. It is great to use if you're out camping and the dogs need a safe place to go. You could also use it while at a picnic, or in a vehicle to prevent unsafe roaming.


It's made of Oxford canvas, feeling just like our family tent. It also comes with a detachable rain fly and has a waterproof bottom. Tent stakes are included, along with a carry bag.


Collapsing it takes a little effort. You have to push the main tent poles a bit inward and downward. Then hold the underside of the circular top of the tent and push up on it. Collapse the tent down. A tie came with it (appearing to be a cut of the carrying bag material, kind of a cool way to create less waste)  to go around the collapsed tent, and then toss the #dogtent in the bag and you're all set!

Window breaker-seatbelt cutter by Rohomii's (Product Review)

I want to show you a great set of two window breakers with seat belt cutters, from Rohomii.

I have purchased window breakers before for both myself and for my sister. My two teenagers are now learning to drive and they share the family car. While I already have one of these in that vehicle, I needed one for the truck I bought. You never know if you will witness an accident and have to rescue someone by breaking a window, or rescue an infant from a locked, hot car. My spouse and I have done rescues many times, which is why I am a big believer in these.


Each window breaker comes set in its own base, which can be mounted in a vehicle if you wish. (If you aren't sure exactly how to mount it, please play it safe and have it done professionally.)

To remove from the base, just grasp the top of the breaker and pull outward. Both sides of the top have metal points, so you can use it as quickly as possible. Toward the bottom of the handle is a seat belt cutter, in case someone is trapped in a vehicle with a damaged belt release. This is a fairly common occurrence in serious accidents.


I think getting these in a two-pack is a smart idea. Since I only need one of these right now, I am giving away the other to a friend's teen driver. I have known this kid for a decade and her safety is as important to me as that of my own kids.

Word to the wise: carefully consider where to place this in your vehicle. If you typically drive without passengers, the glove compartment may not be a good spot as you might not be able to reach it. A latching center console is better. This would allow passengers the capability of retrieval, in case the driver is incapacitated. Also be sure it is secure so it won't become a projectile during a collision.

To quickly break a car's side windows, hit near the edges; the centers are much harder to break. The front or rear windshield can be hard to break due to their design.
