Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)First of all, you need about 8 arms to assemble this thing. Slots and pins, and knobs, as well as all the stars and planets need to be in alignment to get it to fit together.
Once you do get it together, you realize that crucial parts are a little too flimsy. If one of the small plastic latches on the front door should snap off (and with time and use, it's going to, I just know it), the whole carrier will be rendered useless. The instructions suggest that you can open the two panels on the top to gain access to the inside, but closing them back up isn't as simple as you'd hope, and if you're moving your pet in a crisis moment (like the fire alarm is going off in your apartment building), I can see it being a cause for extreme frustration.
It does look very, very cool though. I especially like the plastic window on the front door.
Once you do get your pet inside, she'll be very safe and secure. (They even provide a method to padlock the openings to prevent someone from letting your pet escape -- or, I suppose, you can have your own little tiny maximum security prison cell.) Still, your pet really will be traveling in high style in this carrier, and when the thing costs three times what comparable pet carriers usually sell for, that's probably a given.
Still, if the crucial parts were made of metal instead of plastic, and if it was engineered a little bit better, I'd gladly give this a better rating. I think it's probably designed for short term use -- a trip or two on an airplane maybe, but for the long haul, to transport your small pet back and forth to the vet, it's probably just overkill. As it is, I think we were dazzled by the bells and whistles, and in the cold light of day, we've decided we'll be sending this one back for a refund.
