Not long ago cheaper products were missing non-essential features, not just made of actual garage. This brand did not forget that.The quality was evident upon opening. It's now been out to play in and used to transport multiple times. Still a love.Summary - great quality not easily rocked or bent, awesome safety features, lightweight and tons of space, greatly reduced nervous cats in car, doubles as jungle gym when not in use.This is over half the price of other similar carriers. Here's what you compromise:One - visible boneage. You can see the PVC pipes that hold it up. Most carries use PVC pipes under a layer of fabric. I actually don't mind this because I've had large carriers that fell apart and I couldn't find the culprit without tearing it up.Two - for some reason they chose not to make the bottom support fabric removable. That's an actual con for me, as one of my cats pees in her carriers. I will have to have a friend sow in a zipper for me.Three - you assemble it.That's it. Otherwise it has quality materials and multiple well-thought safety features. Those are WELL worth the amount I saved for me.As stated, the fabric is quality. It's not thin, not easily pierced or folded, and has a waterproof layer on the inside. It smelled like a department store purse when I got it, not vague chemical, it was great. The mesh parts are also thick but flexible so you can fold them when you want the carrier open.Safety:They clearly cared about it. There is as shown a safey leash. You attach this to your pets collar so in the event they could've gotten out, they are still leased to the carrier. However, still always make sure cats have break away collars.The zippers are reinforced in multiple ways. You can clip the zippers of each opening onto each other which prevents a pawsy pet from opening it. When the two are put together, there are tabs that prevent that zipper from going far. There are multiple spots to attach pet/name tags.Space:I have a big girl cat, she's tall and round. She has PLENTY room without the hammock attached. I have a sport sedan and both carriers fit in the backseat and can be buckled in easily. She can loaf, she can stretch out, she can stand, and still have clearance.Transport -They're large, but sturdy. It takes a second to get used to carrying them. The boneage and fabric is very strong, while carrying it doesn't bend, feel flimsy, things can't push into the fabric. But still very lightweight. Cats weight was evenly spread and not compound by the carrier. It was a bit of learning curve though. Since it's light weight and large, it takes a second to figure out the balance. I got it down within a minute or so, I use the handles. Hammocks get taken out for transport.Both of my cats hate, hate car rides. I was shocked at how well they handled these. They can move around and adjust as needed, and the carrier doesn't get moved by car movement. What surprised me was how much they enjoyed all the mesh view. My cat who usually gets motion sick loved it, she was watching out calmly. And my more scared girl still had a corner to curl up in and nap.Combining -It is awkward trying to carry both of these when they're attached because it's large. I wouldn't combine them until I'm in the car. However, mine have stayed combined for when they're out for fun. There's been no issues while they're combined even with them using it as a jungle gym.Final, cat enjoyment:I saw the reviews saying their cats loved it so much they keep them out to play in. The carrier being out used to be a run for my cats, so I never thought that would be us. Well it is. I leave them out and they will run all over them and use them to play with other.I really couldn't be happier that I chose these!

My best friend is moving across the country and this couldn’t be any more perfect for the trip. I was very concerned about the fiberglass poles described in the other reviews and came prepared with gloves and tape to help her put everything together so nothing would be exposed but thankfully the poles were regular pvc and there were zero issues handling them and assembling. The large is a comfortable size and fit nicely in the backseat of her Kia Soul. The locking zippers along with the added space of allowing the middle section to be open is perfect for her two cats and her peace of mind. They were already exploring it as soon as we had it together. Overall very happy to have found this little gem. Quality, portability, security & ease of use solve all the worries of cross country travel.

We use this carrier not only for travel but we keep it in our family room and is always available to the kitties to relax and lounge in. And they do! The carrier was pretty easy to put together and is sturdy. The hammocks are a favorite spot for the cats. The carrier is sturdy and easy to move with both cats in it. It does not collapse into itself as my last double carrier did. The zippers are easy to use and offer flexibility as to how to use the carrier. It’s easy to convert into a single carrier too. Highly recommend this product.

This was exactly what I was looking for and then some! I’m military and we have an 8 hour car ride to our new duty station. I have 2 cats who HATE the car and need to be together 24/7. I wanted for them to have something to Travel safely in that didn’t keep them cramped like a traditional cat carrier. Details below:Pros:- setup: the box is easy to setup (took be about 5mins for 2) and the poles inside keep the structure solid- safety: there’s straps to allow a seatbelt buckle to slide through so no worries about the carrier tumbling or sliding around while driving. There’s also clips on the zippers so if you have cats that like to escape there’s no worries there.- comfort: I got 2 of them so I could zip them together and allow my cats more room and to be together for comfort. The bottom isn’t soft or anything at all (probably to help in case there are accidents) so I put blankets in the bottom and they’re comfy like that. I recommend leaving the carrier out a few days in your living room so your pet can get familiar with it and it’ll smell like home when you put it in the car to help ease them. My cats also REALLY like the hanging basket creature so if you have a cat tree with that already, it’s a bonus and easily holds their weight.- easy to clean: one of my cats frew up on the bottom while it was in the house. The bottom easily comes out by itself and after scrubbing and wiping it down in the sink, it was super easy to clean and dried fast due to the material.Cons:- I left the carriers in my living room for them to get familiar with it for a few days. My cats liked jumping on top of the box and it held up nicely thanks to the poles, but the top did start to sag a little so I wouldn’t place anything on top while traveling.- the strap to hand carry it around works but the box is so bud it’s super awkward, especially with a pet inside. So this is just for the car, not for carrying them around in. I’d still have a regular carrier handy if you have to take them out like during a vet visit.- I wish it had more pockets!: this is nit picky but I do with it had a couple more pockets to hold treats and any other pet needs. They have 1 pouch big enough to hold the strap and expandable water bowl but that’s about it.Overall: I love it. It’s perfect for what I needed and my cats can travel comfortably. I’ll likely buy from the same brand for the backpack carriers just cause I’m so impressed!

I have to drive a bit of a distance to take one of our cats to his vet visits at 2 hospitals and he always gets there all peed 😅 (even with 4 pee pads in his carrier).They usually don't help me clean him up at one of the clinics and I didn't want him to be all wet in his carrier until we got home either so I wanted something with space for a litter box and found this.It IS a great quality carrier, well made and sturdy. It is quite big and tall, I thought it wouldn't fit in the back seat of my normal sized sedan car but it did fit easily.I got SO many complements by other pet parents and staff at both clinics, it was weird how they noticed it and liked it so much. One of the vet techs even came out and asked me if it folded and where I got it.Anyways, I only got to use half of it because I couldn't zip the other one back to it. If you separate them to take your fur baby out and then try to zip it back to the other one in the car, at least for me it was very difficult. I wasn't able to do it. Trying to do all that in the hot weather didn't help either. It was also a bit awkward to walk around the clinic with it because it is tall. So I ended up switching to his other carrier so I could move around better. That may be a good option too, to still take your regular carrier to get your baby out if you need to walk around for a bit and so that you won't have to unzip/separate this carrier. When you're done, put them back in there to travel in comfort back home. You could still separate them and use it as a carrier if you're in a pinch but again, it will be awkward to carry around. It didn't work out for me because of that reason.All in all, great quality, better price than similar ones and they even give you freebies. If you're looking for a travel carrier with enough space for your cat to be comfortable and even have a litter box, or for traveling with small dogs, you should get this.
