Pet Gear Signature Dog & Cat Car Seat & Carrier Bag, Aqua

I needed a carrier so that I could take my new cat home Nala, from the shelter, and take my other cat Binx to the vet! I found this one and was pleased by the appearance, description, and reviews so I purchased. It is a very nice carrier! Perfect size for both cats, at 10 lbs and 7 lbs. Binx was even biting and clawing at it a lot on the way to the vet, and there was no damage done at all. I even put my two cockatiels in it one day to take them to my mom’s house, and they too were unable to make a scratch. They did poop all over the inside though! But thankfully the inside liner is easily removed and I was able to wash it.

I got this carrier for my first cat, and it’s been perfect so far. Doesn’t feel awkward to carry around. My cat is 11.5 lbs, and he fits in the carrier comfortably. I like that the top opens up, but wish the opening was just a little bigger to make it easier to get him in when I can’t lure him in the front with treats. I also wish the seatbelt strap was a little bigger or could attach to my car’s seatbelt in multiple places so it would feel more secured toward the top of the carrier, but since it’s a fabric carrier I’m not worried it’s going to slide off the seat when I brake.

We brought this carrier to the shelter when we adopted our kittens. They were brought out to us in a cardboard carrier, but it was so nice to be able to see them once we transferred them to this carrier for the ride home. It’s sturdy and balanced when carrying the cats and there’s a strap on one end that works with car seatbelts. They’re much bigger now and they both still fit.

I bought this for my pug to keep her safe and limit the hair distribution in my new car. I was debating between a more open car seat but decided to try this. It is easy to use and doubles as a carrier. My pug can stick her head out which made her happy and limited the hair getting all over the place. My pug is about 20 lbs and it was a good fit.

Haven't used it for a vet visit yet but this carrier has all the "must haves." At least one opening large enough for my 12.5 pound cat, see-through sides and a floor that holds his weight. This is a pretty sturdy carrier, I'd hardly call it a bag. I left it open on the floor for his sniff test and he already took a nap in it. Thumbs up so far.

The carrier is great! I appreciate that the entire carrier can be unzipped so that it lies flat. This is helpful at the vets office when the pet wants to hide. I also like the mesh sides, my cat seemed more comfortable during the drive as he could see all around. The easy carry handles were a great feature, the size is perfect for the car.

This car seat/carrier is well made and works great! My cat is comfortable in it for sure. Yes, the strap on the back for seatbelts is straight up and down but that doesn't cause an issue in placing the belt through. The weight of the carrier itself is enough to make it sit flat and the purpose of the strap is to keep them from sliding forward so it does its job. It unzips fully to lay flat but I would like to see it have a way to hold together while laying flat. Even just a Velcro or if folded a certain way the handles could hook around the outside maybe. Otherwise, it's perfect! There are multiple door options and a removable soft pad. The hard bottom even comes out if needed.

These lightweight carriers were just what was needed to transport my two cats. The cats were each comfortable in their own carrier, along with everything they needed. There was enough room in the carrier for the cat, a few treats, a couple of toys and a blanket. The floor of the carrier was soft enough for the cats to be comfortable while riding in the car. And the handles that come together make it so easy to transport using the carrier.

I have. 16-yr old overweight boy cat and had a large hard-side carrier. I can hardly lift it empty much less with 20-lb cat in it! Had to find something fast and nothing I saw online or in person looked right to me. Chewy to the rescue. I didn’t even know they sold pet beds, I have only bought Rusty’s canned food and a few toys. Anyway found this one, but several of the reviews worried me enough to not consider it. After hours checking out everything possible, I came back and read these reviews again and decided it would work for my boy. Im so glad the few scary reviews were in there! Because of that I could hopefully prevent my escape-artist cat from getting free. I zipped everything into place I have. 16-yr old overweight boy cat and had a large hard-side carrier.

Because of that I could hopefully prevent my escape-artist cat from getting free. I zipped everything into place and taped the 2 zippers I would not be using. Just put lots of masking tape pieces so zipper pulls were hidden. Sat it on its ‘back’. Wrapped a towel around my boy and put him feet first into the carrier long-ways and quickly zipped shut the front and taped the 2 zipper pulls together on that one too. Yes he was mad as a hornet and immediately starts scratching to loosen something so he can get out. Was pretty easy to carry to car compared to weight and bulk of his hard-side carrier! I took the tape off the one zipper and explained why I used the opening I did to the vet tech. He did fine, the carrier worked great. Hopefully the next time we have to go to vet, it will go as smooth or smoother than this time. >^.^< … more

Great value for the money. I left it out and open to see what happened and I found my senior girl had taken up residence. Doctor's visits won't be so traumatic with this carrier.
