Gen7Pets Commuter Pet Carrier & Car Seat Black

What I love :- I got this carrier for its safety testing. It’s very sturdy.- The clips for the seatbelt are great and it’s very easy to get the seatbelt in and out.- I like that it has really good airflow - this will be great with summer travelWhat I don’t love:- The wire frame is held with strong Velcro around the curve. Taking that Velcro off and putting it back is much too difficult to do every time the carrier is used so folding this up when not in use is not going to happen.- There are no pockets (for travel water dish, leash, folded paperwork etc)- There is a weird metal clip inside on a string for I presume to attach to a harness or something? I tucked it under the bed but it leaves a lump. I feel like I should probably just cut it off- There is no pocket loop to slip over the handle of rolling luggage if you are taking your pet through the airport-the airflow is nice but it’s at the expense of the security cats love (I ended up with a light blanket over the sides in the car because my kitten didn’t feel safe- the blanket quieted him down and he went to sleep), pockets, and a loop for rolling luggage (my cat is small now but he won’t before long and a 12-13lb adult cat gets heavy quick if large airports)Honestly, if you are considering this or the sleepypod air for your cat (or small dog) go with the sleepy pod. I have one of those for my other cat and I am slowly finding things like the pocket and folding that I miss. This carrier is great, it’s safe, sturdy, comfy for the pet but it’s missing features that make life so easy for vet trips and travel. If I hadn’t used it already I would return it for the other:/

I always feel bad putting my dogs in crates when we travel in the car. But my wife insists on it for safety reasons. This crate has large mesh panels which allow the dog to look out, air to circulate freely and important (for me) I can look at them and see that they are OK! I’m 100% satisfied!

I’ve been searching for strong and sturdy carrier for a long time. This is the one! I’ve tried multiple carriers on the market but they were very flimsy that I had to put cardboard on the bottom for extra support. Most of carriers on the market have plastic frame but this one is metal so it wont collapse. Cons; the liner is very thin. I have to put extra liner. Also, no pockets for storage.

First, I am obsessive about safety for my dogs.Particularly when riding in the car. A car accident in 2014 resulted in seizures for my beagle mix. She was inside a standard plastic carrier and did not initially appear injured. She died a month later. Fast forward... two new small breed puppies. Their grown weight should be no more than 15 #.I purchased the Gen7 and a Sleepypod Air. Both offer excellent protection when installed as instructed.{See the crash test video.} Some of the carriers shown should come with a "do not use" warning. Both allow space for the puppy now, and in the future. With the added benefit of no free roaming through the car.I made a 1000+ mile road trip with puppies in the carrier. Both took to it well. Removed the interior pad and replaced with a bath towel. Figured it would be easier to clean in the event of a potty accident. And with potty breaks every two and 1/2 to three hours, no issues.A short trip to the vets for vaccines did not go as well. My fault, I should have held breakfast until after the visit. Both puppies were carsick and the towels caught most of it. However, the carriers were still a smelly mess. Of the two, the sleepypod air was easier to hose out. The Gen7 dried in a speedier fashion.Very happy with both but given the choice again would purchase two of the Gen7. It is rather plain but function was most important.

Though I don't use it too much yet, the Gen7 seems safe and is easy to install in car. But after just 6 uses the zipper pull broke off one of the zippers. I did email the company on November 25th to tell them what happened and see if I could just get a new pull to attach to the zipper, (the acutal zipper is still intact) but other than an email that says thanks for your email we will get back to you, I've heard nothing. So, their customer care would not get many stars from me.

I bought this carrier because it has a 5 star safety rating and connects to the car seatbelts and headrest for safety. It is very safely secured when the seatbelts are on this carrier ... it literally can't move side to side or front to back .... it's good to know that our dog is safely secured inside. Our puppy likes that there are two ways to exit his "carseat". He can exit from the front (facing the door) directly into our arms, or from the top where he can look around to check out his new surrounding before coming into our arms. It has a soft washable insert for him to lay on, and he seems to like it. It's very roomy and he is able to curl, or lay lengthwise and stretch out. We really love this carrier.

The carrier itself was well constructed, but my 15 pound Westie couldn't even fit inside of it. I felt it was a little pricey, but needed something I felt would last along time. Would have kept it if she would have fit inside.

I have tried several bags for the car but love that this is crash tested. Also, it has plenty of windows for air and my "Tweedles" do not feel claustrophobic. Wish it had a least one pocket. Can't take it on plane because there is no pocket to put leash etc. But, I purchased this to keep in my car as I take my babies with me. I leave it in the backseat and transfer them to another Gen7 bag which has wheels.

Best airport carrier ever! My pup loves it.

Love this carrier. I take my Maltese everywhere I go in it

easy to install, small dogs seem happy

I can not recommend anyone from uk buy this as it turned up without the shoulder strap, seller refuses to send me just a shoulder strap but tells me to return and reorder which involves me paying all the shipping and import costs again coming to just over £40 they are not even offering to cover this cost. Am, really, really disappointed for the amount of money this has cost that they won’t sort this out, the description in the advert includes a shoulder strap, this is seller error and therefore should be sorted by them!
