Walked r/t 3 kms twice with a 6kg cat. Second time metal frame poked through and almost had the vets out! Because I'm not using this frequently as it's only for a well cat visit I cannot return as its over 14 days. I DO NOT recommend and very disappointed with the quality.

I thought the bag looked great when it was delivered – but I never even got the chance to use it myself, not even once. I lent it to a friend straight away, and the bag didn’t even survive its first use. His cat (by the way, a smaller and less muscular female) tore it apart during the car ride to the vet and then ran around the car in a panic. Maybe the bag could be used for small kittens, but definitely not for adult cats.

After just a few minutes, the grid was chewed through and the cat managed to escape. It completely fails to serve its purpose as a secure means of transport. Very cheap workmanship. I wouldn’t buy it again.

I also have a bag from another, admittedly much more expensive manufacturer. Comparing both bags, this one is cheap and was already bent and damaged before its first use because my cat jumped on it. By the way, my cat weighs 5.5 kilos. The wires meant for stabilisation tore out of their intended "anchors". Such a shame! I'd rather go back to the more expensive but far more durable model!

After the fourth use, the fittings of the struts came loose on one side at the top, and at the same time, the zip tore at the front. There are just too many flaws. This bag was given to me as a gift. The bag my friend has is still in tip-top condition today. That model is older but better made. Better to spend a bit more for something that's better quality.

Bought this for my Maine coon and she's 5.49 kilos so it should cope with her weight easily, within one use of a trip to the vets the internal metal rods have come loose and it's now dangerous for me to use. Total waste of money.

Although otherwise a nice product, the top is fastened by a peice of Velcro and a zip either side that have no 'stop'. My cat pushed her paw past the Velcro, was able to push the zips back with the force of her head and escaped into my moving car....under the pedals whilst I was on the motorway! I would not recommend this product if you need your pet to be secure inside !

I’ve had the bag for seven months now and use it twice a week! My dog weighs seven kilos and is a Shih Tzu!!! Two months ago, the inner board broke first, and then the side rods tore out and pushed through the sides of the bag!!! So all in all, not recommended!!!!

A quality item at a good price. But the design is flawed. Fastens at the top with two zips (absolutely fine) and is then closed with a velcro tab. A quick push and your cat will be out of this in a flash. Please do not risk it. May well be fine for dogs but totally unsafe for cats.

I wish I had seen all the reviews and not bought this item! Our kitten got out of it in the space of 10 seconds.

I bought the bag for a small (12-week-old) kitten. The button for closing the bag was torn off by her on the first day. Now the bag can no longer be closed (only with the zip). This means there’s always a gap through which the kitten can escape.

My fully grown cat can easily escape from this bag when it is closed and secured. The gap where the fastener is is too large. I do still have this bag because I don't have room to store a full size plastic carrier. However, I do have to make sure I secure the opening with strong masking tape the second I get my cat in the carrier or I have to spend another five minutes catching him again.

Despite securing the zip handle at the top and tying it tightly through the loop, my cat can easily escape. I discovered this whilst driving so was not best pleased. In fairness, the carrier is good value for money but not very useful if you have a lively cat.

The 1 rating is for the idea alone. On receipt one of the metal supporting bars had already burst through the fabric, and when it was used for the first time the "detachable" shoulder strap became permanently detached when it broke after 10 minutes carrying a small cat.

The bag looks very good, and the fact that it can be opened from the top and the sides is practical. However, the wire rods also pierced through after a very short time. Additionally, it is not escape-proof, and I’ve had to retrieve our puppies from the boot several times already. Conclusion: cheap, looks good, but the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Better to spend more money on something decent!

My cat rubbed her nose raw on the netting, and it only healed after a week. Additionally, only my very small cat fits inside; the larger one won't go in. On top of that, the thing is very unstable. A bad purchase—I’m just annoyed with this thing!! I thought it would make transporting an animal easier, and it does, but the drawbacks outweigh the benefits.

I, on the other hand, am less impressed. The bag was only used once, and after that, it became a sleeping spot and climbing frame for my 15-week-old Cassiopeia. It was inaugurated on Friday, and by Monday, the metal rods were already poking through. Such a shame – otherwise, I find it stylish and practical, but it just breaks far too quickly.
