By Katie on Apr 25, 2022
Our cat, Ivy, has a lot of trouble with road trips, even the 10 minutes to the vet. She screams and screams and hates her carrier. We got her this to make our move from IL to OR easier. We haven't moved yet, but we opened it up for her to explore and she actually did!

It's made of really nice material and folds up so nice and compact. I think it will definitely make Ivy more at ease having room to roam the backseat but without us worrying about her jumping down on our feet or having to stay copped up in her carrier. … more

Read All 24 Critical ReviewsWon't work for anxious dogs and the opening is on the wrong side
By 2DogMomATL on May 16, 2022
I have a dog that gets really anxious in the car and has to be contained. We thought giving him a bit more room might help things, so we tried this out and he tore through the mesh in just a few minutes. This definitely is NOT a good solution for anxious dogs, but probably a perfectly good solution I have a dog that gets really anxious in the car and has to be contained. We thought giving him a bit more room might help things, so we tried this out and he tore through the mesh in just a few minutes. This definitely is NOT a good solution for anxious dogs, but probably a perfectly good solution for dogs that enjoy the car. It does however only zip open on one end, and that end is on the passenger side, which means if you're driving the dogs around on your own, you have to circle the car to get them in and out. (To be fair, it is shown in the picture that way but I didn't realize you couldn't turn it to face the other way based on where the straps to fasten it to the seat are sewn on.) … more

Keeps hair in one place
By Silver99 on Dec 28, 2021
I got this to put in new car and since my Jeep is my dog car and has dog hair sprinkled everywhere I wanted my 2nd car to be dog hair free so far so good had it a few months now and they love it which is crazy since they never been in a kennel. It’s a soft kennel so not sure if it will be safe and for sure very flimsy. If they could make material stronger it would be 5 stars. Totally nice for quick transports tho if everyday use I will prob tear quickly. I place a soft blanket in the tube for comfort.

Ripped in two hours
By Dani on Dec 26, 2021
My carrier ripped within two hours of a road trip. Sad given the price paid.

Great Idea but cheap materiel and construction
By bludogrunner on Dec 17, 2021
I bought this because I cannot fit two crates in the back of my car and was hoping to keep the dogs in one place e.g. not on my head while driving but still more contained than just using a seat belt: The idea I love and I’ve seen other tubes like this for double or three times as much. There is a reason. The material and mesh is very thin. The zipper sticks and the stitching is poor. Maybe a very calm, very small pet that doesn’t really need containment is fine in this but any other pet will tear it just getting in and out and I give that zipper about 5 uses before it breaks. I will try this to see how I like the idea … and then order the $169 version if it fits.

Travel Tube Review
By Jessica on Sep 24, 2021
So excited to have found this product! It’s exactly what I needed for my upcoming move. I’ve been struggling to find something for my cat that would fit in the back of my two door vehicle and this tube works perfectly. The material is a bit thin so I could see how it might tear easily but it’s ultra flexible. The tube is also plenty big enough for my 20 pound cat to move around and I can even fit a litter box in the tube.

Great Item
By PistolPete on Aug 23, 2021
I bought this Item to keep my two very small Chihuahua's in the back of my car. Before I bought this, my dogs were everywhere from my lap to under my seats to up in the back window, It was getting out of control. My only regret about this purchase is I did not buy it much sooner. My dogs actually jump into my car and get in their secured safe place on their own. It is wonderful.

Highly recommend
By Sld1 on Jul 5, 2021
My little dog loves her travel tube! I do recommend a body pillow in it for comfort and it helps her see out of it better. She was very well behaved in it and didn't want to get out when we got home! Lol.

Tube crate is GREAT for my little dog
By Kennelpooch on Jun 9, 2021
My 18 lb terrier is 16 years old and wobbily on his pins. He does much more sleeping now and is more velcro with me than ever. Our lovely new tube crate allows him freedom to move around, and ability to be outside where he can keep an eye on me. I laughed at the tent stakes, but they do help keep him from rolling away. In the tube, I can be sure that he is safe and comfortable. It's super portable. I may put bells on it to jangle alert me when he starts shifting around and needs something. A great find. Also terrific secured in the back seat of a car. He considers it one of his happy places now. THANKS

Works very well
By ChiDad on Jun 3, 2021
Our two tiny chihuahuas did really well on our road trips in this tunnel placed in the back seat of our SUV. Easy to setup abs secure and good shape. Good amount of space allows the Kidz to spread out and lay on their own beds and blankets or together when they want. We are very happy with this! Only very minor (potential) issue is the zipper seems smaller than we expected. Don’t know how it will hold up after dozens or hundreds of zip/unzips. Would prefer a more sturdy zipper even if it cost a few dollars more.
