Frankly, I'm just perplexed by the negative reviews. I purchased two of these several years ago to fly my two Persian cats half way across the country. One of them is a little Houdini and can open any zipper that isn't locked; these are escape proof. Both cats are right at 15 lbs and fit easily, especially Frankly, I'm just perplexed by the negative reviews.

The carriers fit nicely under the airplane seat, were easy to carry, and all needed documents fit easily in the provided pocket. In the years since, the carriers have held up perfectly for many vet and groomer visits. They secure easily with seat belts, and fold relatively flat for storage. If they ever wear out, I will buy the same thing without hesitation. If your cat is a demon, clip its nails before use....... … more

Not a fan. It’s much classier looking than the medium Sherpa (hence the generous 2 stars) that I also have and I bought this because of the good reviews and it’s looked well made from the pictures online. The company also made it sound like they had incredible attention to detail when making this bag Not a fan.

The company also made it sound like they had incredible attention to detail when making this bag. Reality is it doesn’t perform well AT ALL. One whole side on the top of mine is permanently caved in and as other reviewers have noted, if you have the end unzipped, that whole side collapses. The frame also doesn’t fold in like the Sherpa so I don’t know how they can claim this is airline approved/friendly. You wouldn’t be able to get this under any airline seat. Just buy a Sherpa. It doesn’t matter how beautiful this one is when it sits in your closet 24/7 because it’s basically unusable. … more

My dog loves it
By Laura on Oct 26, 2021
This is way better than any of the other carriers and my 10lb dog loves it. It's super soft on the inside but very sturdy. Love the shoulder straps and seatbelt hook up. Hope it flies okay

Best carrier we've ever used!
By Will on Oct 25, 2021
My girl HATES being in a carrier, but this one made things manageable. Over the last month we've taken 5 flights moving from Florida to Hawaii. And it's stylish! It doesn't look like a carrier, and if I didn't know it was a carrier I wouldn't have any idea. The bottom is made of plywood making it super stable and easy to manage, but the cover for the bottom is a super soft faux fur that she seems to find comfortable. The pop-out is the real star here though, it almost doubles the space your animal has, and made me feel better about her being stuck in there for as long as 6 hours for a flight. This thing is magical

Great product as advertised
By Koshka19 on Oct 24, 2021
Very very pretty!! Very sturdy and looks very resistant although my cat didn’t try to destroy it. I only used it to bring her home and to the vet but I really like it and would recommend. My cat weighs 8.1lbs

Excellent Customer Service from Mr Peanut
By NikGC on Jul 28, 2021
A lot of thought went into making this bag, especially with the expansion. I had an issue with a zipper and contacted Mr. Peanut directly. They have the most excellent customer service I have ever experienced with a company and because of that I recommend their bags to everyone!

This Carrier is TOO CUTE
By Rachelle on Jul 15, 2021
My boy Walden has never been on a flight before, let alone in cargo. Next year we're moving to Australia which means he'll have to be in cargo with no air flying experience on a 19+ hour flight! To get him a little more used to it, I decided to take a few flights with him under the seat with me in the cabin. I absolutely loved how cute this carrier was online, and it's JUST AS CUTE IN PERSON (seriously, when does that ever happen?). He's a 20 pounder or so (maybe 19ish at the moment) and long, so I was a bit worried he wouldn't fit in it, but absolutely no issues even though it's a slight bit cramped. I bought it with the expander in hopes I can put it under the seat sideways and expand during My boy Walden has never been on a flight before, let alone in cargo.

I bought it with the expander in hopes I can put it under the seat sideways and expand during the flight so he has more room to relax. I measured and the carrier itself is about 17" long, and from my research, most Southwest flights have an under seat size of 17.5", so fingers crossed, but either way I think he'll be comfy. … more

It looks better than it functions
By Tanya on Jun 11, 2021
It looks nice on the outside, but the zippers for the expandable part are difficult to manage. the webbing makes it difficult to see your cat more than other mesh carriers. The top opening is just big enough for my 8lb cat, but probably wouldn’t work for a bigger cat. But it’ll still work well for the airplane and everything closes securely.

Mr. Peanuts
By Lonzy on Mar 14, 2021
Good solid carrier. Sturdy and well made. It’s a little smaller than the dimensions given - an inch on the length and about a 1/2 inch on the height and width. My large cat (13 lbs) just fits. Okay for taking him to the vet, but not sure on longer trips. The expansion part is nice but it can’t be open while carrying. For a smaller cat or dog, it would serve well on a plane but with how big my guy is, I wouldn’t want him confined to such a small space for that long.
