K9 Sport Sack Trainer Forward Facing Dog Carrier Backpack, Green, X-Small

This is the only way that I am able to take my pup out for a walk while I wait for her vaccinations to be complete. It is sturdy and great. Highly recommend. The only issue I have is that is really is impossible to put her in without having another person help me. It would be better if there were some kind of option to do this solo.

I’ve had this bag for two days, did a fit test, and was excited it got here in time to try it out on a short mountain walk yesterday and then tried it for a short bike ride today. All three experiences were very uncomfortable. These seem like the nicest affordable bags on the market unless you are willing to spend $150+. The design of this bag is sooo bad. I got this for my 9 week old German shepherd pup so I can take her with me since she cannot go to public places and walk yet because she hasn’t been fully vaccinated yet. 1-No chest strap 2-there is a flat bottom but if you have to cinch any of the straps to fit your dog, it collapses and folds up against your lower back which is extremely awkward and uncomfortable. Then they dont have a sitting space. There is no ribbing or support to keep the bag in position or supported. 3-The side mesh doesn’t seem to help, she and I got super sweaty and she got hot and started gagging (it was evening and the sun was going down). 4-to get her to sit on my back where she needed to be-in order to be secure, I had to cinch the arm straps all the way down, which made my arm holes small and so hard to get the bag on because you can’t get your arms through. 5-it’s hard to take off as well because it’s so flimsy and there is no support so your dog is like a floppy burrito. Zero structure to the bag. It very much gives ‘drawstring backpack’ vibes with a bit more shoulder padding. Seriously. 6-I think she was uncomfortable because her arms were in the arms holes but her bottom half wasn’t sitting right 7-she started to wiggle and try to adjust and just started to try to climb on my head 8. I tried to loosen the straps to see if it would help her comfort and keep her from pawing my head but instead it just strangled her. 9-the photo makes it look like it’s supportive but it feels very cheap and is very flimsy and has very little support for carrying a dog on your back and your body begins to ache within minutes of putting it on. 10- huge bummer because I cannot see this bag being worn for more than 10-15 minutes at a time, which is worthless for an outdoorsy person. This seems like more of a novelty bag to look cute and get a photo, rather than a real bag to use for outdoor activities.

I got this item for my puppy. I have acreage in the country and I can't have him running around while I cut the grass. I tried everything to get him in this carrier and nothing worked. I even had a friend help me but it still didn't work. So this item was a waste of money for me.
