Excellent airline travel carrier, with great safety features
I used this to take my cat onto an airplane for a long-distance move. I got it primarily for the airline-approved size, but was also impressed with the buckles on the zippers, which meant she couldnt force the doors open. The build-in leash is a nice feature, too. The cat was comfortable, even in the smaller space, and did a great job with the entire travel process. I also found it easy to carry, and comfortably lightweight.
I was very impressed with the removable (and therefore machine-washable) cover on the floor insert.
I did use a large shirt to cover the carrier while we were in public areas, which helped my cat feel more secure since she couldnt see all the strangers. She tends to be very anxious, and this helped a lot.
The one thing I would have liked to see added is a set of straps on the side of the carrier that a seatbelt could be passed through, for the longer drive home from the airport. But we managed okay.
