Ibiyaya Two-Tier Dog & Cat Travel Backpack

hmmmmmmmmm

This carrier is the only one I've been able to find that carries two animals with a barrier between them. I saw someone using it on Instagram and thought it looked pretty nice, but expectation versus reality was disappointing. The zippers are poor quality and get jammed easily. The mesh used feels pretty flimsy and makes me scared that if my cats were so inclined, they could easily scratch and gnaw a hole through it. The panels used to prop this carrier up don't fit perfectly into the sides. I had such a hard time fitting them in!!!! The panel that serves as the bottom of the carrier is super hard and juts into my lower back very painfully, to the point that I have to remove it in order to wear it not even comfortably, but not painfully. Positives: love all the handles everywhere. For a carrier this big, those handles are rather necessary. The gray and orange fabrics are good quality and sturdy. I like all the options for opening the upper section of the carrier. The option of a mesh flap on top as well as the gray water resistant cover is very nice. If they would just slightly retool this carrier, I think it would be two thumbs up. Better panels that actually fit, better zippers that actually zip smoothly, better mesh that you know your cat will have a hard time damaging, some sort of cushion for the bottom panel so that it doesn't jab into the wearer's back. If those issues were taken care of, it might even get a five star.
