Even though right now they can both fit into one, we decided to get two for when they get bigger and for more comfort for them. The backpacks are really great quality. Comfy for the kittens. Lots of air flow and ways for them to look out and see everything. Really easy to switch out the circle parts. The pockets on the side hold a surprising amount. Yesterday I went for a short walk with them and fit my iPhone, sunglasses, air pods, and keys on one side with plenty of room, and on the other treats for them, their harnesses, and a collapsible water dish just in case. The strap across the front helps relieve a lot of the weight the backpack can have with kittens in them. Overall, really comfy for me and the little ones, they are super cute, and we always get lots of compliments on them when we go out.
My cat hates traveling.The last few times I traveled with my cat (like moving and going to the vet), she went INSANE. I had her in one of those cardboard boxes you get from the vet, because getting her into a plastic crate was a very painful nightmare for all parties involved. This was a game changer - I left it out at night so she could sniff it and whatnot. And when moving time came, it was super easy to get her in there and she didn't try to claw and bite her way out. I think what helped the most is that she could see out through 3 sides I higly recommend this carrier
I LOVE this backpack carrier and so does my cat! He loves car rides and he loves this carrier. I tell him to "kennel" and he hops in so we can go. I place it on a box in the front seat so he's high enough to see out the window and then I buckle him in. He's quite content to just hang out in it. Everyone who sees it loves it too.
Send me the backpack that I paid for. Allegedly you said I did not finish my order. Yet, my credit card was charged $44.68 by Depawtment. Be careful purchasing from this company.
Ok..I like the packpack, buuut only fits ONE cat comfortably. Two: no way unless they are kittens..I'm worried about motion sickness for my kitty...I walked around the house and patio and sensed she may not feel well after a while..(fast walking in the airport.
I flew with American Ailines
The backpack fitted under an -aisle seat- from an A321 but didn't under a -window seat- from a 737 probably by an inch H., had to hide the backpack from the flight attendants with a baby blanket I bougth for my kitty in order to not being removed before takeoff (bc you know it should go all the way thru under the seat).
My cat did great even though she was bouncing in my back bc I was almost running from gate to gate, she got used to that very fast (but that was my cat) being able to see around and being comfortable helped a lot!
You'll call the attention of every single person so I recommend not using the acrilic window. I hate when kids and adults walk too close to me to look at my kitty, KEEP YOUR DISTANCE, RESPECT MY PERSONAL SPACE oh God I really hate that!!!
Anyway..I do recommend, it was fantastic being able to use my hands freely while my baby was in my back comfortable.
Received our kittens carrier today just in time for her first visit to the vets. After much searching to find one at a reasonable price, good features, great airflow, ease of use, able to carry on the back, comfort for our kitten I decided to go with this one.
The journey went well as I found the small airvents ideal to play with her through by simply popping some string through them one at a time to keep her amused.
Attaching a small toy through the upper zipper also added to her fun.
The only thing I will say is that when walking the kitten did get bounced about a little although I would say that with any back pack/ carrier this will happen
All in all a very good buy
Used this backpack to take my 6kg cat to the vet. Usually take him in the car and he moans all the way there. In this backpack he could lay down, look through the mesh or astronauts window in safety. Got loads of comments from passers by as he looked cute too!!
My indoor cat loves exploring outside so I bought this to keep her safe and still have her enjoy outdoor activities. As soon as i opened it up, she immediately started exploring and has made it her official home now. She's little over 9 pounds and fits in comfortably. Love how it expands, it will allow me to make it a carrier for vet visits as well.
I had originally wanted a basket carrier for my bike for my chihuahua. Her sister was elderly and slept most of the time. I thought it would be nice to be able to take my little chihuahua out with me sometimes. I visit clients via bike. Then I dropped my bike a few times to avoid a collision. So that was out. She'd get hurt. The safest place is on me.
I had researched backpacks for dogs for months. I could not find anything that I felt she would be both safe and comfortable in. Some were like baby carriers where the legs stick out. That can't be comfortable. Some looked too floppy. Too short. None of them seemed right. Then I found this. It was absolutely perfect.
It exceeded my expectations. My Zoey loves it! What was supposed to be an occasional trip with me turned into every single time I head out. She screams at me then runs to her carrier. She has plenty of room to lie down. I feel her walking as we ride through town. She can turn. The placement of the window allows me to leave it open and have her clipped to her harness and not worry about her falling out. It's placed up higher. She can stick her head out and her body is completely inside.
As it is getting colder, I just added a blanket and keep the top closed and face the vent in the front towards me so my body heat keeps her warm. The zipper closures are all very sturdy. That makes me feel so much better. It is so customizable. The frame keeps it from collapsing. The floor is sturdy and doesn't bend at all. It's like her having a tiny room to travel in. The pocket is perfect for my cell phone. I used it as a front carrier as well. She looked out and I had both hands free. Sure we looked nuts, but she was happy.
Recently we moved to a new place. Two weeks later we lost her older sister. My pup was not doing well alone so this was a God send. She loves it. Sadly she loves it too much and I can't go anywhere without her these days. Honestly it's the best thing I have ever bought for my pup.
I wish it had a few more pockets to be honest... it only has 2 ... one I used for treats and money for wet food .... it would be nice if it had a third pocket for water bowl�
A lot of people remarked on the carrier - especially those that carry heavy, clunky crates. The kittens happily walk into the carrier via one of the three zipped entrances. They love to look out of the clear dome at the front and the various mesh and air vents. It's a sturdy and comfortable to carry item.
Great size for my cat. She has long hair and gets hot when stressed and traveling so the ventilation in this was far superior to any of her other carriers. I took a quick non stop flight from Dallas to Tampa on southwest and it was perfect for that.
I love the backpack overall, comfort and stability was great. It�s very nice and stable, the stitching and craftsmanship ship over was fantastic. I was really surprised for this price! Although do take in consideration, the backpack is quite wide of the side angle but other then that. 9/10 would recommend!
It works perfectly! I love it!
We traveled to the vet twice AND we flew across the country!! He's my emotional support pet and he got to fly on my lap and he was stretched out in the back of the carrier, it was beautiful!! This pet carrier is by far the best I've ever used! I can feed him in there and he can relax! My cat is afraid of basically everything so being inside this makes him feel great about leaving the house. ESPECIALLY when I cover it with a blanket or jacket. TSA and Cat Mom and Cat Approved!! I hope you find this helpful in purchasing.
I get compliments on this carrier all the time! I wanted a carrier where my cat could be able to not only lay out comfortably but be able to see what's going on around him. He used to get really agitated at the vet when he could hear dogs but couldn't see them out of the tiny slits of his old carrier. Plus, it's very breathable and easy to maintain. I can't wait to go on short excursions with him!
The bag appears smaller than it really is when you unpack it, but it quickly expands into a suitably sized backpack for any regular housecat. It's made of good-quality materials and the colour is nice.
My main gripes are with the lack of rigidity, and the fiddly process of swapping the front grill/window parts out. Because most of the bag is flexible, trying to brace the window on and turning the locking ring into place proved very frustrating, but very satisfying when I managed it.
My cat doesn't like carriers much, so I hope this will be durable enough and comfortable enough for her long-term. The included soft mat for inside and the chest clip on the straps are nice touches to consider it a quality product.
Only time will tell how long it will last but my trial run went reasonably well!
I might like it more than my cat ???? but, it�s perfect! It�s comfortable and roomy enough for my cat. As long as my cat doesn�t move around a ton, it�s easy to wear! My cat is about 12 lbs and so, is medium sized but he fits in it perfectly. There�s also a strap inside that you can hook to a harness, and you can open the front flap for easy treat giving ?? Would recommend for the price!
My little Brussels Griffin loves this carrier. She is very curious and likes to meet people through the port hole. Had to take him to the vet (I don�t drive) and this back pack is a game changer!
It works! My kitties seemed to really like it, of course after a while of sitting inside, they wanted to get out, but cats are cats, this backpack is sturdy and I like it better than just the little bubble for them to see out of
Recently I've made a switch to public transit to and from work. My little doggo (appx. 11lbs and quite long, chihuahua x mini dashchund) has come to work with me every single day for the past two years so it seemed unfair to start leaving him at home. I ordered this backpack as a solution as we are not allowed pets on our transit lines here.
I really thought that it was going to take some convincing to get him to like this carrier... but I genuinely cannot get him out of it. He loves it! Instead of sleeping under my desk now, I unzip the carrier once we get to work and he wiggles in there and prefers the backpack over his usual bed under my desk. I do admit it's a bit dorky looking, but I am willing to look past the general appearance as it's comfortable for both him and me. I'm not sure what people are finding flimsy about it, it's very sturdy I find.
Overall this is a great product and the price is considerably lower than any of it's competitors on Amazon. I definitely recommend.
As soon as I got this, my dog proceeded to take a poop inside while on a car ride. His tummy was a little sick.. & he totally freaked out inside and made a mess lol. Luckily, this was really easy to clean! I washed & dried it outside & it was like new, the part inside removes, there�s a little plastic board that helps keep its shape on the bottom. Overall happy & dog now loves to go on bike rides with us : )
