I do the same thing as Addy...they are in crates with their flufy beds, and the crate is belted down. I have had them loose before ~ but if I (god forbid) get into an accident, their little bodies will be flying around, get injured by the air bags , etc...
at times when it's a quick trip to gramma - they are loose - I should make it a habit of them being in a crate. I harness and belt down my big dogs though - if loose they can actually kill me...just as another person over 100lbs flying around.
