This is a great buy for me! I am an 80 year old widow who does not have the muscle I did when younger. I have 2 rescue cats which weigh about 10#s each. My hand held carrier can be difficult is I have to wait in line or walk far for Vet visits. This is ideal. It required just pulling it out of the box and snapping a few pieces together. It is perfect and the cost was quite low for what I got.

There were not instructions to put together however it was very esy to assemble. I question how sturdy the wheels are. We will see tonight as we are going to the vets. I truly hope it is as good as your reviews say. if so it will be perfect.

The only negative from my point of view is the wheels are not easily removable and replaceable (as for putting the carrier in and out of the car for a vet visit.) But being a backpack more than makes up for that is you use it that way. Lightweight. Sturdy. Easy to put together. Wheels work well.

I think our cat will really like it instead of his current more confining carrier. I like that he can sit up and look out of the carrier. He will be less anxious!

Nice but it doesn’t have a strap inside to secure your pet when the front flap is open. Also the front flap is clear plastic. It would be better with mesh.
