5 out of 5 stars The Good and the Bad   November 7, 2008
I've 6 cats, and I'm considering replacing the old hard plastic carriers with these. I'm very pleased with the one I ordered.

Good:
* Collapsible (other reviews saw this as a negative, when you have 6+ carriers it's a plus)
* You can carry one pet on your back like a messenger bag without them bouncing about, and keeping your other two hands free for your other pets.
* Cheap - Good price compared to other similar products
* No issues with the quality - one warning though, if your pet has front claws and it likes to dig to try to escape, it may rip the mesh covering the ends - it's a very strong mesh, but a persistent cat could get through.
* Airflow! Both front and back are meshed, so great during warmer seasons.

Bad:
* Not easy to clean compared to plastic carriers

I received this carrier the morning I had a vet appointment for one of the cats. I decided to test it out, and it got more of a workout than I had expected. The car broke down on the way home and without the cellphone I had to hike 5 miles to the nearest town to get a ride. It was too hot to leave the cat in the car until I got back, so he came along. Other than that the shoulder cushion could be more cushiony, I was exceptionally pleased by the comfort of the carrier. My arms weren't dead like they would have been carrying a 16lb cat in the standard plastic carriers!



2 out of 5 stars probably good for a cat or chihuahua   October 21, 2008
Product appeared to be of good quality, but was much too small for my 12 pound Jack Russell. Merchant cooperated and accepted return, though I wound up paying shipping both ways.

I got into this before my cat could, then yelled "IN YOUR FACE!" Good times.


2 out of 5 stars Seems nice, but, consider this first...   February 28, 2008

I bought this based on previous customers' reviews, plus I trust the Coleman name. It isn't that this is such a bad product, but it has two flaws that, had I realized before, would have kept me from buying it.

First, it is stable when it is all zipped up, but not when one end is open. If your large pet kitty struggles being put in, this can be a little frustrating. My old pet carrier had little sockets that ran down the top on each side that you would slide rods into, thus, keeping it rigid when in use, then removing them when you wanted to fold it flat for storage. ...But this flaw is minor, and is in fact manageable, but nevertheless, worth mentioning.

The second is far worse, in my opinion--I didn't realize that the nice plush soft pad is permanently attached to the frame. The first time I used it, my cat peed in it at the vet... wouldn't it be nice if that plush pad were removable and could be tossed in the wash?? Nope. The whole apparatus got washed by hand in my kitchen sink (not just "spot" cleaned as per manufacturers' recommendation--sorry, not good enough for cat pee, thank you very much), and is now drying in the sun in my back yard. Who knows how long that will take in the middle of February?

Other than that, it is a well made product. Sturdy, etc. And it does fold nicely for storage.

I was quite happy with my purchase of this carrier. It has a soft plush interior to make your pet comfy for their trip (even if it is to the vet). It's completely colapsable and easy to store. I highly recommended this coleman carrier.
