They are a lot bigger than I had expected it them be. They are extremely sturdy with lots of viewing areas for the cats to see through. I have been leaving them out for the cats to get used to, and one has taken to sleeping in it on the soft mat.
Product description
Make car travel calmer with a roomy, breathable pet carrier designed for everyday trips and weekend getaways. The Pets Gear Foldable Pet Car Carrier is a soft-sided, steel-frame collapsible pet carrier that helps keep your pet comfortable, visible, and secure—then folds flat when you’re done.
- Car-ready stability: seat-belt binding helps keep this pet car carrier more stable on the seat.
- Extra airflow: large mesh panels for fresh air and visibility.
- Escape-reducing safety: zipper safety lock + internal leash clip for harness connection.
- Comfort included: removable cushioned mat (smooth side + warm plush side).
- Folds flat fast: a true foldable pet carrier that stores easily between trips.
Why This Pet Carrier Works So Well for Car Travel
Most soft bags slump, slide, or feel cramped. This pet carrier bag uses a supportive internal frame to keep its shape, plus seat-belt binding to help reduce shifting during normal driving. It’s ideal for cats and small dogs who travel better when they have space to settle and breathe.
Note: Seat-belt binding helps with stability, but this carrier is not a certified crash-tested restraint. Always drive safely and never leave pets unattended in a vehicle.
Breathable, Calm, and Easy to Check On
Large ventilation mesh (up to 40% ventilation area shown in the product images) helps reduce “stuffy carrier” stress. Roll-up doors and multiple viewing sides make it easier to reassure your pet, offer treats, or check their comfort without fully opening the carrier.
Security Details That Matter
- Zipper safety lock: helps prevent curious paws from nudging zips open.
- Internal leash clip: attach to a harness to reduce sudden dash-outs when opening.
- Stand-alone use: works at home, in hotels, or at the vet as a soft travel crate.
Folds Flat for Storage (Collapsible Pet Carrier Design)
This collapsible pet carrier uses a built-in frame system—no complicated disassembly. Fold it down after use to save space in the boot, wardrobe, or under-bed storage.
Size Guide (Measure Before You Choose)
Choose your size based on your pet’s standing height and body length. Your pet should be able to lie down comfortably and turn around.
| Size | Dimensions (L × W × H) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| L | 50 × 33 × 34 cm | Cats, kittens, and smaller pets (great “small pet travel carrier” option) |
| XL | 61 × 42 × 40.5 cm | Large cats, two smaller cats (size-dependent), or small dogs who like extra room |
Quick Setup (Easy Assembly)
- Remove the folded carrier and unlock the buckle.
- Lift the frame into shape.
- Raise the metal support arms until the carrier holds its box shape.
- Check panels and zips are aligned before placing your pet inside.
Care & Cleaning
- Spot clean with a soft cloth/brush; air dry in a ventilated area.
- Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to reduce fabric ageing/discolouration.
- Do not bleach; do not tumble dry (follow the care icons on the product sheet).
FAQs
Is this a good pet car carrier for long drives?
Yes—this pet car carrier is designed for car use with seat-belt binding, breathable mesh, and a supportive frame to help your pet stay comfortable during normal driving.
Can it fit 2 cats?
The XL can fit two smaller cats depending on their size and temperament. For best comfort, measure first and ensure both cats can lie down and turn around.
How do I choose L vs XL?
Use your pet’s body length and standing height. If your pet is between sizes—or you want extra lounging room—choose XL.
Is it airline approved?
Airline rules vary by airline and route. This product is primarily designed as a car travel pet carrier. If you plan to fly, compare the carrier dimensions to your airline’s under-seat requirements before buying.
How does the anti-escape design work?
It combines a zipper safety lock with an internal leash clip (attach to a harness) to reduce the chance of bolt-outs during loading/unloading.
Can I use it for dogs too?
Yes—this is suitable for pet carriers for dogs in the small-dog range. Always measure your dog and ensure enough room to turn and lie down.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 6 reviews.
This carrier was an excellent choice. I bought this for a longer car trip to take my cat to a specialist in another town. She normally cries and tries to escape in our usual carrier, but this one gave her plenty of space with room for a litter tray, plus food and water. I chose two carriers, which clips together end-to-end with adjustable straps so there are no gaps. When we arrived, I unclipped them and used the smaller section to carry her into the specialist vet hospital—super convenient and much less stressful overall.
Great & easy to collapse & store
Great product. Good size and strong. Nice light grey colour. Cats like it ✅ Dog likes it ✅.
the carrier is great for our large cat for trips to and from the vet. The zip fasteners are especially good to stop any escapes
A great quality carrier, with good reinforcement in place so that it doesn’t collapse inwards on your pet when you carry it. Perfect size for a large cat or small dog. Very happy!
