5 out of 5 stars
Exactly what you need!
I spent over a month preparing to purchase a new cat carrier. I chose this one because it is soft and collapses for storage/cleaning and has flexibility if you need to take kitty as a carry-on for a flight. It expands, it has at least 3 different sturdy zipper entrances, its breathable with good quality mesh and breathing holes, and the kitty has a place to clearly view from the little window. I like how its easy to carry on my back or chest when kitty needs comforting. Its also sturdy enough for an anxious cat to scratch up the insides and it still keeps them safely inside on a car ride! This works great for us and kitty feels safe and wants to stay inside of it to nap.

My cat and I absolutely love this backpack!
I’ve tried the bubble brand (which works great but lacks proper ventilation for the summer months) and the Lekeresie (had a bar pressing on my lower back which is a no go for hikes)

This one is foldable; easy to store when not in use. It’s incredibly sturdy when fully assembled, with the back extension capable of holding itself up on its own.

There are 5 different entry points (the small side circle is her favorite choice of entry)
There’s so much ventilation. It’s even equipped with two sturdy removable floor pads that are covered in a soft fleece material.
It’s very comfortable to walk her around in. She’s about 12lbs and this backpack supports her weight effortlessly. She’s got plenty of room and I have yet to experience any lower back pain.

She voluntarily sleeps and plays in it all the time and comes running whenever she hears me moving it. 10/10 recommend!

 This thing is great and so thoughtfully designed! You can see how it folds up thin and flat for easy storage. It opens intuitively. I found it easiest to open the back and lead my dog in with treats and then close the back up. (It was much more difficult to try to stuff them in the front top!) They maximize and prioritize the airflow and ventilation in this backpack. It is everywhere!

It comes with a strap to secure your pet. I use it! Since the top is open and I want my girls to be able to keep their heads out, whenever possible. I will always use the built-in tether to make sure they don’t just try to hop out. For the same reason- I recommend using a harness with the clip, instead of a collar, so if one did get out or partially out they wouldn’t hurt their neck. I love how you can open the bag to let them stretch out. It could be used as a small kennel while traveling so they have a place they can go that is theirs.

I love the extras they added to it to make it a good back pack- adjustable, padded shoulder straps, there is a buckle to secure them across your chest. This keeps the straps from coming down and it keeps the weight shared across your body... with the additional help of the waist strap. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it was to carry my girl with the bag on me as a backpack. It didn’t feel bad at all. I’ll have to try a long hike in the spring and see how it handles over a long haul. I like that I now have an option to take one of my girls out on the motorcycle with me if I want to.

For size... my grey schnauzer is a regular 16lb mini schnauzer and the white schnauzer is toy-sized and 10 lbs. Once I started walking with them on my back, they sat/laid down. When I would stop is when they would pop their heads up.

Openings- one of the round side windows unzips to open, the top unzips to open or you can keep it closed and keep a covering flap over it. When the back is fully open and extended, it unzips as a door also.

The only addition I would make is a Velcro or elastic strap I can put around it when it is folded flat to hold everything together.

There is a lot to like about this carrier. We read the reviews before purchasing and only bought (2) bags with 5 stars to compare and ultimately choose between. This is the one we kept. We have a 15lb chunky cat. We wanted a back pack style, so my daughter could move through the airport with a carryon bag and a cat easily when flying alone. There was plenty of space for him. He had enough room to be comfortable laying down when the bag was sitting upright. Even though there was less "floor space" than a typical over the shoulder soft carrier when the bag is upright, it was a smoother walk for him, since he road on her back rather than bumping along at her side & the large round (and low) mesh gave him plenty of view and air laying down. When sitting up, the bag had an amazing amount of space. It also has a mesh zipper section, so when he sits up, he still has plenty of view, air, & an exceptional amount of space. It has an additional "pop out" room that is all mesh. The designers of this bag really focused on kitty comfort, so as a result of the mesh windows (which provided great airflow & visual access) there weren't pockets, but my daughter actually used the "pop out" zipper section as a pocket and was able to take his treats, his meds, rubber gloves, an extra piddle pad, and handiwipes. We examined the seams. Although time will tell if it holds up, it seems to be well made. The padded shoulder straps were very comfortable. The final deciding factor was that this backpack had both the chest strap and the lower hip/waist strap. Our daughter said that it distributed the weight well on her body, so she didn't have to lean forward & also helped support the bag, so our hefty cat didn't end up sagging or the bag collapsing. It went on the plane and under the seat just fine laying down (which, when laid on its back has as much room as any over the shoulder bag for his comfort on the flight. He was so comfortable in his travel carrier, that he sat up and gave himself a bath while at the airport. Anyone with a cat knows that won't happen unless the cat feels comfortable and secure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cloudy plastic
Reviewed in Australia on November 21, 2023
backpack is ok.. ended up getting the Pecute backpack which is better for sturdiness and the plastic is much much better, this one has some nice features with the design, i like the circular entrance on the side.. but it could be sturdier and one thing I didn't like at all is the milky/cloudy plastic.. I expected the plastic to be much clearer actually
