## Before you buy

- The listing gives dimensions in several differing forms: 16.5 x 10.6 x 11 inches in the title, 16.5 x 9.5 x 9.8 inches in a feature, 41.9L x 27.9W x 27.9H centimetres in details, 41.91 x 27.94 x 27.94 cm; 1.09 kg elsewhere, and 42L x 28W x 28H cm as the size. Its 16-pound limit is also stated as 7.26 kg. Treat these as listing inconsistencies, measure the pet by length and height, and confirm the dimensions and fit with the airline before flying. The listing says it conforms to under-seat dimensions of most airlines, not all airline requirements.

## A good fit for

- Owners of small dogs or cats who want a soft-sided carrier for transport or vet visits.
- Travellers seeking mesh sides, multiple openings and a choice of shoulder strap or top handles, subject to airline approval.

## Less suited to

- Pets exceeding the stated 16-pound maximum.
- Buyers who need a confirmed fit for a particular airline without checking that airline’s carrier requirements.
