The bag is really great for the low price (on offer for just under €15)! The roof sags down a little and could be a bit sturdier, and the Velcro fasteners that hold the base are a tad too small, so it can come loose if there's resistance. But all in all, really good!

This is very good for transporting either of my docile cats, but I would not risk the feisty Maine coon or a stray in it as it would be easy to force the top bit where Velcro is the only fastening. However with a small vet fleece in it they all love it as a cosy bed, sometimes I find 2 crammed inside so I am buying another!

While searching for an aeroplane bag, I decided on this one because there were already cabin experiences described in the reviews. So, we flew with two bags, each containing a Bolonka Zwetna (weighing 3.9 and 4.7 kg respectively), in the passenger cabin of Lufthansa. Our dogs felt very comfortable in their bags from day one and even use them at home as a sleeping spot. Transporting the bag with the dog within the airport grounds is hassle-free, as it fits perfectly on a hard-shell suitcase and doesn’t need to be carried all the time. We didn’t want our dogs walking among so many travellers with suitcases. So, our little ones rolled comfortably in their bags on the suitcases to the check-in counter. Unfortunately, we discovered on the plane that the bag (at least with Lufthansa) doesn’t fit perfectly under the front seat. We had to place it at an angle, which meant the bag extended into the foot space of the neighbouring seat. If you encounter less understanding neighbours, this could be an issue. Since we had seats next to each other, it was impossible to fit the bags and our feet underneath. Luckily, the cabin crew were very kind, and our neighbour (a fellow dog owner) was willing to move seats. Usually, there’s at least one seat left unoccupied, especially in first class. So, we all flew comfortably with an extra free seat both there and back. Very accommodating of Lufthansa! Otherwise, I can highly recommend this bag as it’s practical, lightweight, and also excellent as a cosy spot. The price/performance ratio is very good. As a flight bag, it’s slightly too tall, at least based on our experience. Perhaps it does fit under the seat with Air Berlin, as some reviews suggest. We’ll give it a try since some destinations can only be reached directly with this airline.

Great travel bag. Easy to carry. Easy to store too. Sadly our two ragdoll are getting a bit too big to go in together so may order another.

We are happy with the bag. The inner carabiner hook is a bit difficult to open. - Our 5.5 kg pooch is well supported by the bag and still has room to move around. A well-designed transport bag.

Makes transport, e.g. to the vet, much easier, as I can no longer carry both of my chunky pets together in the box due to the lack of a car (too heavy). This way, it's quite convenient, though unfortunately, one of them already has a wire poking through.

I've been using the bag since the beginning of April, exclusively as a transport bag for the car. Our 3kg Bolonka seems to like the bag; whenever I open the zip and place the bag on the floor, he immediately goes in voluntarily. The only downside: the zip hooks (on the sides) broke after a short time. I attached a strap to them so I could open/close the zips. Overall, though, the price-performance ratio is excellent! In pet shops, these bags cost twice as much.

I purchased 2 of these for my giant bunnies. Great to store flat if you have limited space. Easy to carry to vets and back - I wouldn't use on long journeys. Despite sharp teeth and claws the nylon mesh is strong enough to prevent them breaking out. One of the carriers didn't have the metal support rods that make it rigid - so if it keeps collapsing on your pet make sure they are present. If not, some thin straight wire does the job.

... and I can't agree with the negative reviews. I gave the bag to my boyfriend as a gift, and he uses it to carry his truly "chunky teddy bear" with it. The bag is still in good condition and even doubles as a cosy sleeping spot.

The transport bag isn’t bad, but at 3.5 kg it already has quite a hefty weight of its own. When my British Shorthair cat settles inside and I strap everything onto my back like a rucksack, it adds up to a proud 10 kg. And I need someone to help me. Either a raised surface to place the transport bag on or a person to assist me with "putting it on." The cat felt very comfortable in it today on the way to the vet, but as for me, I’ll be treating my aches and pains for now.

Since my two tomcats usually avoid transport baskets and bags, and it's always a struggle to get them inside when it's time to go to the vet, I bought this bag. Now it's easy to get them in there – and also to take them out again (at the vet). It's also practical to carry the bag over the shoulder (not to be underestimated with a 6kg tomcat!). The bag now always stays in my living room, as they also like to use it as a sleeping spot. I deducted 1 point because very soon (despite "normal" use) one of the side reinforcements poked through. But I would buy it again immediately; it's absolutely worth the money.

Very good bag, ideally designed, serves its purpose well. A larger model is still missing. The price is somewhat "made up".....

I’d also like to know if the bag is waterproof. The airline I’ll be flying with only allows waterproof transport boxes. However, I’d prefer the bag over a transport box.

I have the same bag, but I bought it somewhere else. I’m very satisfied because I initially had a hard plastic transport box and switched to this bag, as you only feel the weight of the cat with it. The only downside is that when you carry the bag over your shoulder, you still have to hold it sideways; otherwise, the bag tilts due to the weight of the animal. Other than that, I’m happy because there’s an extra compartment for the vaccination record, etc.
