Car Seat Crate

I needed a place for my dog to sleep during a three night stay at an airbnb. I didn't want to spend a lot of money and this kennel was perfect for my dog who is normally crated at night. Its lightweight yet sturdy and with his little pillows, he was super comfy. It was spacious but easily packable in my car. Now, I will say that if your dog is a chewer or would try to force his way out of the kennel, it would not be strong enough to contain him.

This Sportpet Design pet carrier is a quality product well worth the price. It is sturdy, large, collapsable and well built. The outer material is made from some type of fabric but it is much stronger than i had expected. IF, and i do mean IF, a cat were able to claw through the fabric it would take them a long time to get out and it would not be easy. So it is perfect for transporting pets in a vehicle or as a temporary cage when the owner is nearby to keep an eye on the pet. Two medium sized cats could fit just fine in it for a couple of hours on a road trip without being cramped. It is a GREAT pet carrier/kennel considering the low price but don't expect a hard plastic outer shell because it is made from a durable type of fabric similar to what I have seen some camping tents made from. But it is strong enough to keep the average dog or cat confined within for a few hours easily. I am glad i purchased it.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Great for traveling. Small compact and easy to setup and stow away. Little small for my 100lb lab but he likes to lay in it. My little heeler (velosaraptor) fits great but if he wanted out he would probably find a way. Overall quality looks is great just wish it was more sturdy with better zippers. Ease of transport: Folds small and loghtweight.

I got a rescued kitten in October. I also work a few days a week and don't feel he's old enough to be left by himself for 8-10 hours. He also sleeps in it at night for the same reason... not old enough to wander around unattended. Within a day he had figured out the zippers. The fix for me was a small swivel hook, but small carabiner clip might work. The carabiner I had was too large and he was able to escape through even that small opening, thus the small swivel hook.. Most times he goes right in when we get to the opening, not happy about it, but he does. A few times in the beginning I admit to having pushed him in and dodging those flailing claws to get him zipped up, but those times are long gone now. I guess it's a matter of... look Mister, I don't think you realize this but I'm the boss and this is YOUR room. lol Of course that was before I realized HE is the BOSS of the house... Within the first few days of having it, he jumped on it and of course it collapsed. You can't have a fold up device if it won't collapse. Did it scare him, lol , yes..... did it keep him from coming back to jump on it again, and again and again, NO. He finally learned his 'bedroom' was NOT a perch to jump on. I never thought about putting a litter box in it, but he's only 6 months old and I shouldn't have expected he could do a 9-10 hour stay and then turn around a few hours later and do an over night stay in it with perfection.... so yes, we had a little accident. The mat did not absorb all of the accident, which is how I discovered we had a little issue. Urine soaked through the bottom of the kennel. I'll have to figure a way to clean that up and find him a small litter box because it's not his fault he couldn't wait any longer, it's mommy's for expecting too much from a little 6 month old baby. I've read the mat can be washed, so I'm glad to know that. I also read a comment about someone using baking soda to clean the main fabric. Hoping that will work. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind buying a second one and start out with a litter box inside it, but we'll see if we can clean this one up first. I sometimes call him the Demon kitty because he's all teeth and claws on my arms. lol . As far as durability, it's held up to the demon kitty and the clasps I put on the zipper pulls have contained him, so I have no complaints and would probably invest in another should I need it. I even recommended to another new kitty owner. I haven't had to travel any distance with him, so can't speak for the travel useage, but see that others have. The only trips we've made have been to the vet less than 5 miles away and I got a small carrier for that. He travels well in the carrier and I suspect he would do well in his Bedroom (kennel). He even goes in now and plays a little bit from time to time I think for my purposes, it has been a good investment.

Perfect size for my chihuahua, she has room for her bed in there plus it comes with a soft bottom and carry bag. She outgrew her hard crate so this was on sale at the perfect time. Plus it's oblong so it fits exactly where I wanted it. The round ones ( I have 3 ) take up to much floor space. I should have gotten 2 just in case. It also has a top cover that goes over the netting which I really liked. Seems built well, we will see how it holds up over time. The zippers seemstrong, very hard to zip though, would have been better if there was more sturdiness around door, it's kinda hard to zip up. It's long and wide enough fir her to stretch out without worry of her rolling it over and the spring is very sturdy and stable enough that it won't collapse. I do wish it came in other colors though. It's great for traveling or to visit friends, folds up quick and has a carry bag. I love that there are no rods to put in. It's a perfect lil travel house. UPDATE... after only having it less than a month the zippers are DESTROYED!!! Don't waste your money on this!!!

I don't know if our cat will like it, but it's worth a try. She has developed very bad toilet habits in her old age, and we want to keep her has long as we can without living in a toilet. I like the quality and the way it pops up to full size easily and folds back into a fairly small flat frisbee shape so it can be stored away easily. It gets big for use, then small again for storage. It has loops to put a seat belt through if you transport your pet in the car. I think it's pretty good quality with great functionality.

This product saved the day and made my 2nd cat adoption successful. I loved the same day delivery. It was like I had a magic wand or a genie who sent it to me but enough about the great Amazon same day delivery. The product: It is sturdy, the mesh is great. It is comfortable and fun. Not only did it serve as a secure enclosed cage/carrier (soft and foldable), my newest cat and my old cat could see each other, sniff each other’s scents and get to know each other safely. It is great for introducing a new cat but it is also great for play. I left it out after the separation and introduction period (2 weeks) so they can play in it. It is like a soft den or a fun hiding space. I finally put it away because it was in the middle of my living room and it was easy to put away. You can just fold it and easily put it away. This is a great product and Amazon’s same day deliver was awesome! It saved the day and made my 2nd cat adoption successful.

We traveled 6 hours with two large adults cats inside. They had more than enough room. They have always made lots of noise when being transported in a typical smaller sized cat carrier for short visits around town to the vet. They seemed more relaxed and happy in this carrier, and they didn’t seem uptight for more than 10-15 minutes and then tolerated the ride well. I think they enjoyed the large sides with flaps that roll up, allowing better visibility than a standard carrier. This is lightweight and can be collapsed for storage very easily. Takes up very little space. The only issue we had with it (which may not be a big deal to most people) is that the bottom of the carrier is not hard (because that would make it harder to fold and store) so when you are carrying your animals out to the car, it’s best to have someone to help because the cats aren’t able to stand, and they do slide around a bit. This carrier is larger than I expected, and it makes for a roomy temporary safe place for cats, and likely for dogs up to a medium size. It does cost more than most soft-sided carriers, but you’ll appreciate the size and the fact that it’s conveniently stored in a small space.
