- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024Color: GreyPattern Name: L-Acrylic WindowVerified PurchaseI love this, absolutely amazing product. The bottom board makes a perfect floor for my cat so he can comfortably stand or lay down without sinking and is easy to remove for cleaning. It's stable, bulky, but comfortable for both me and him. All the zippers work nicely, and every opening has two, one normal and one with a clip which I assume is used to help keep it sealed if your furry friend likes to paw zippers open. Perfect amount and size of pockets, I can easily fit a water bottle on one side as well as poop bags ready for use, and on the other side I have over 20 churu treats, calming spray, a cat leash and an extra roll of poo bags with more space to spare. The extendable back is easy to set up and perfect for my 12lb cat to stretch out and relax while we sit around. The safety leash is adjustable and has worked great for us. He has room to move around and turn as needed and doesn't get tangled up in it. The warning said there might be a weird smell but I didn't notice anything odd sent wise. Smelled like plastic, like most new and freshly opened items. I only wish there were D rings on the arm straps so I could clip on our first aid bag and water bowl onto them. Overall, well worth the purchase.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025Color: GreyPattern Name: L-Acrylic WindowVerified PurchaseWe bought one of those little bubble window hard plastic backpack carriers for our cat years ago and it got used to take her to the vet and that's it. Total pain to transport with the weird shape and you couldn't store the thing anywhere thanks to the structure of it.
We had a trip coming up and decided we needed a new way to carry both of our cats and purchased two of these. Absolutely outstanding quality. Love how it's completely collapsible to the point you could store it in a drawer or the corner of your closet, but we honestly barely collapse it at all because the cats love to jump in and live in it for a while with the back pulled out.
You really can't ask much more for a cat carrier than the cat to be delighted to be in it. The mesh is strong and has stood up to a little bit of biting and scratching, but generally we have tried to be sure the cats don't do that, anyway. The straps are comfortable when carrying the cats around.
With the expandable back collapsed, it works great sitting sideways as a more traditional carrier, as well. Sits up nicely in the car on roadtrips and acts as a very nice safe space compartment to ride in. The fact that it doubles as a little living space while at your destination is a huge bonus. Well worth every penny! If there had been some way that it could expand even more or that you could connect two of them to be able to get a small litter box into it and have an even larger enclosure, it would be literally perfect.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2024Color: KhakiPattern Name: XL-Mesh WindowVerified PurchaseI purchased 2 of these pet carriers for my Yorkies—one weighs 8-9 pounds (with surprisingly long legs for a Yorkie!) and the other is a petite 5 pounds. Here’s my detailed experience with both sizes:
At first, I ordered 2 large bags, but the large size was too cramped for my taller Yorkie (I measured him at 16” standing but the bag was too short). His head would hit the top of the bag, and he had to bend his neck awkwardly even when the sizes said 17.4”H. I exchanged that one for the extra-large size, which fit him much better. However, the extra-large bag is quite huge on me so made it difficult to carry on my back, i’m a petite person (5 feet tall). It was prefect for my taller partner (6 feet tall), so we made it work. The large bag, on the other hand, was the perfect size for me to carry and prefect fit smaller 5-pound Yorkie. The extra large bag can fit both dogs but it was a little snug.
We used these bags for our recent flight with Alaska Airlines, with upgraded premium economy seats to ensure our pups and us had extra room leg room. Here’s what we learned:
Extra-Large Bag: Challenging to fit this under the seat. We had to push the narrow top in first and really squeeze it into place. Thankfully, the flight attendant didn’t mind the bag sticking out.
Large Bag: This slid under the seat perfectly (also top in first), with no issues.
Negative: Comfort-wise, the extra-large bag has a padding on the back bottom area that protects your lower back and buttocks, which made it more comfortable to carry. However, the large bag doesn’t have this padding, and the hard edges on the bottom could hit into your back and buttocks while walking and if you’re carrying it for a long time, it caused a little discomfort. The included mats in both bags are quite hard, but we brought along tiny blankets for added comfort during travel.
Pro-tip for traveling, doesn’t hurt to ask the gate agents if you can pre-board, It’ll require extra time without feeling rush; since you need to adjust the dog and bag to lay downward. Luckily on both of our flights, the Alaska Airlines agents were very empathetic and accommodating.
Overall, these carriers are well-made, loved the lock features on all the zippers for extra security, and very durable, but the sizing and comfort features are worth considering based on your travel needs. I’d highly recommend them, especially if you make a few adjustments for your fur babies’ comfort!

- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2025Color: GreyPattern Name: L-Mesh WindowVerified PurchaseI used this pet carrier for my cat, who had previously clawed/chewed a hole in another cat carrier. The mesh on this backpack is a lot more durable and has withstood my cat's escape attempts in the last few months.
For road trips, I use the extended form to provide more space for my cat to lie in. It seems to make her more comfortable, so I'm confident that its safe in terms of breathability and temperature.
The backpack/smaller form is also solid and isn't too heavy to carry around. It can be slightly annoying getting everything zipped, but it still does a good job for quick transportation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expandable mesh is also useful folded up in the backpack
Color: Grey with Shade CoverPattern Name: L-Mesh WindowVerified PurchaseThere's many reviews about this product, so I won't add too much of the same information.
What I can say that differs is the expandable mesh 'curtain' has another use case - if you have a cat that doesn't want to see out the windows of the bag, he/she will hide themselves behind the mesh (that sits folded up in the back panel of the bag. That's what mine did when he had enough of the view and maybe the cold. So in that respect, the expandable mesh bag is definitely worth it to allow the cat to snuggle behind it as you are walking with the pack on your back. Rigidity is good, space is good, rain cover flap is really useful-we specifically bought this model of bag because of it), good pockets for treats on the outside. We are pretty happy with it so far, cat can climb either in the top panel or bottom panel . If you are looking for a bag that can carry a water bottle, I'm afraid this one doesn't have a space for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snygg och smart
Color: BlackPattern Name: L-Mesh WindowVerified PurchaseDen har funkat superbra. Den är stadig och jag gillar att man kan sätta fast dragkedjorna så att de inte går upp av misstag. Den är även snygg och stilren.

5.0 out of 5 stars SO GOOD
Color: GreyPattern Name: XL-Acrylic WindowVerified PurchaseFirst impressions of the pet carrier was that it felt super sturdy, and was easy to zip up, and is really good quality material and stitching :) the plastic cover to protect the acrylic screen was kinda difficult to get off but that wasn’t a problem lol.
I took my cat for a little tester walk through my house, I just opened the top zip, dropped in one of his toys and he jumped straight in, and it was again, super easy to zip up. My cat is a bit of a chunky boy but he has lots of room and was super comfortable! I was scared he wouldn’t like it and be trying to claw out, but he was just sat looking around and grooming himself. When I took him off my back and opened the compartment it was nice and spacious for him to lay down, and when I opened the little door he didn’t even want to come out (I lured him out with a toy eventually so I could put it away 😹)- I’m super excited to use it properly because I wanna take him on little adventures with me since he’s an indoor cat :) overall AMAZING value for money! I wish there were cuter colours it’s a little bit of an eyesore to me but my cat loves it and it’s going to come in soooooooo handy c:
