Good lookin' and functional pet carrier!Aug 05, 2008
By China Mom I purchased this for our 16 year old, 9 lbs. cat to travel in cabin from JFK to LAX (6 hour flight). It was the perfect solution! Things I liked about the carrier:
-Private: the mesh on the sides is done in such a way that others can't really see the animal inside. Our 16 year old isn't a big fan of people outside of the family and because of the design of this bag no one knew there was a cat traveling inside.
-Outside pocket: Enough room for a leash and anything else small you may need.
-Overall Design: The design is great - modern and doesn't scream "I AM TRAVELING WITH A PET". Later on in our trip (we moved to China and had to switch to hardsided carrier appropriate for cargo travel) we used it as a dirty clothes carrier - nice as a duffle bag too!
Things I wished were included with the carrier:
-Handles like on a duffle: The bag comes complete with the sholder strap and two handles, but the handles must be used with two hands. It would have been easier to have handles like a duffle bag that could be grabbed with one hand.
Amazon has a great price (especially on the orange one) and with Amazon Prime shipping it came quick - good thing because we waited until the last minute to purchase.

Excellent airline carrierJan 09, 2009
By flasksandbeakers We purchased this carrier in anticipation of flying with our cat for a long trip over the holidays. Like many other people on this and other sites, we fretted about the airline's size and weight requirements, since this carrier was an inch longer than the required size and with the cat, very close to the 20lb weight requirement for US Airways. We should not have worried as no one measured anything. It fit fine under the seat, even on a pretty small plane (Canadair Regional Jet). The inch long "violation" means it extends into your footspace an inch more than it should - worth it for the animal's comfort, since I wasn't going to be comfortable even if I did have that inch.
This carrier is well designed on a number of levels. Most importantly, the shoulder strap attaches to the carrier in two conformations so you can carry it in the pictured way (wide and low) or on its side (tall and narrow). Tall and narrow was much more maneuverable in the airport and helped us finesse the "stand up and turn around" requirement. It's very sturdy, particularly the mesh windows which appear to have a kind of wire mesh behind the black netting, which I presume makes it more claw-resistant. The two entryways (top and side) were convenient for getting the cat out for security screening, since she really didn't want to leave this carrier. I think that's partially because it's fairly snug in there (good for cats, who like to feel protected, but not for dogs, who need more space) and partially because we familiarized her with the carrier, with treats afterwards, for a few weeks beforehand. The side pocket is perfect for her payment certificate, vet certificate, and a small bag of treats, but nothing larger.
In short, this carrier is spendy, but it's a Cadillac. It was such a good experience that I will probably travel with her again the next time I go to a cat friendly location.

I love it and my dog loves it tooDec 30, 2007
By K. To
"Me"
I got it in the small size and color orange. I use it to travel from Houston to Fort lauderdale. It worked great, even my dog is about 10" long and 14" tall, it is big enough for her to turn around...also keep in mind that the bag can be used flat or tall, so i moved it slowly for her to reposition while the bag was closed so she can stand up and stretch the legs completely during the flight. I used it everytime i go out with her...she sits inside while riding in the car (with the zipperopen). The color is not exact as shown, it is a little bit more dark (less bright).

Worth the money!May 18, 2009
By Lunachick265 This carrier is among the most expensive, but you get what you pay for. It's large enough for my 15 pound cat, comfortable to carry through the airport, and didn't fall apart. It allows privacy for your pet, as the cat can see out the mesh panels, but passers by can't see in. All told, I would reccomend this product to anyone, especially if their pet is larger or more active.

Very Sturdy but Safe?Jan 06, 2009
By Catty Our Havanese has managed to claw through every carrier we've ever bought within minutes. We carried duct tape with us on the airplane just to hold the carrier together long enough for one flight. In frustration, I dropped $125 on this carrier, and amazingly enough, it held beautifully!
However, the carrier has some issues. Although it is soft, it's firmer than other soft carriers, and it really didn't fit under the seat in front of us. We were actually lucky that the flight attendents didn't say anything. In addition, and a bit more worrisome, I truly do not believe that the carrier has enough ventilation. Our dog was dripping with sweat when we took him out of the carrier and he was panting so har in the carrier that the whole bag was shaking. You'll notice that there is very little netting on the bag, and where there is, it's a double layer and it's so fine (that's why the dog couldn't claw out) that it's really questionable as to how much air gets through it.
