1 out of 5 stars This is junk!   June 3, 2010
Winwood (Lakeland, FL)
This carrier is junk, pure and simple. It's held together by flimsy plastic plug-like things that are likely to break or twist open in a heartbeat. No way am I carrying my pet in this.


2 out of 5 stars Just okay....not real safe!   April 1, 2010
M. Evans (Minneapolis, MN)
I bought this little crate as a carrier for foster puppies to get them back and forth to the vet office. I don't feel this crate is safe for actually carrying around a pet. The handle just snaps in and the locks are plastic that turn and lock and I feel that with any pet over a few pounds it might come apart when carrying them. I also don't like the way the door closes and locks into position. I have had it pop out on me. Now I use this crate without the door as an area for the puppies to go to and relax or play in. I don't carry them in it. I will purchase something a little more sturdy and secure.

I would not recommend this product. When you get this item you have to put it together and it has no instructions. When you do get it together it is very flimsy. Not a carrier I would recommend for a scared pet you are trying to take to the vet.


3 out of 5 stars Decent Cat Carrier, except for the door latch/locks   December 16, 2009
Paul Swadley (Richmond, VA United States)

My sister got this cat carrier for me for Christmas as I have several cats and need to take them to the veterinarian regularly for checkups and shots. It came in a brown box, padded well. However, while it came in three parts (the top, the bottom, and the plastic latches for the sides and the doors in one twist-off piece), there were no assembly instructions. I had to figure out how to put in the latches and locks by putting the top over the bottom, and carefully align it so that the slots in the holes matched up correctly before pushing each latch in. A little brain power, but not too much. The box did come with an order form where you could order replacement parts, though.

Several reviewers noted that there was a problem with the door latches. I concur. The top and bottom front have raised ridges where the plastic door latches are meant to be pushed over to "lock" the door. So in testing it out, my youngest cat got in -- to explore, naturally! -- and I locked the door. But after picking it up and carrying it around the house a bit and then setting the carrier down, he was able to pop the door by pushing on it because the motion (both my walking and his motion inside the carrier) dislodged the door latches from the raised ridges. The metal grated door literally popped out when I set it down.

I'd rate this particular carrier "average" for very short trips, not for long road trips (which I plan in the future). You get what you pay for, in short. I'd get something better designed, even it it costs more money and latches much more securely.

I can't believe how fast I received my products. I was shocked. The product was exactly how I expected it to be. Thanks Ozbo!!
