MOOLLightweight Fabric Pet Carrier Crate with Reversible Mat and Removable Bag, Red

Sturdy, good for keeping in pet when it cant be released, but more comfortable than a pet cage & due to mesh panels good visibility for pet too. My pet was very relaxed in this in comparison to being put in a small pet carrier.

This review is currently only based on how it fits in our car, as we haven't picked up our puppy yet.We chose this one as I don't like the idea of the metal crates, especially as we have a nice wooden one for the house. We have a 2017 Dacia Duster and other than very expensive bespoke crates, I have struggled to find anything that is a guaranteed fit.As this is fabric, lightweight and relatively inexpensive, this fit my requirements. I chose the large as our puppy is a sprollie (English springer/border collie cross) and I wanted to make sure he has space to move around.I am very pleased to say that this fits very nicely in the boot, with a bit of space between the back seat and crate. This space is big enough to fit our emergency box in, which is about the same size a shoe box for a pair of man's trainers.There is also enough space at the front to easily access the zips. The only downside is the mat. While it is very soft, it is also very thin but this can be easily fixed by adding an extra blanket.All in all, I am happy with this crate and I hope our puppy is too.Update June 2023 - our puppy is now 10 months old and weights about 19kgs. He can only just turn a round inside and is unable to stand up. Which means we can't use this anymore. He also didn't really like it, so we only used it when visiting family and he needed quiet time. We think he didn't like it due to it being quite dark inside compared to his crate at home.Despite that, it was good while we could use it and it folds up fairly flat. It is also easy to take a part to wash. Increased our rating from 3 stars to 4 due the practicality of the crate, even though it is now too small for our dog.

After searching for a good quality travel crate we came accross this one through a friend. It's great quality, easy to assemble/fold up and packs down to a manageable size.

This is a fantastic size and perfect for transporting two cats safely in the car. I have four rescue cats and have recently purchased another carrier as it was so useful!! I pop these in the back seat of my SUV and wrap a seat belt around them to keep them stable.It is very easy to assemble and store. I found the quality to be very good and the pockets super useful. I also love that it has 3 entry points with zips on the side, front and top of the carrier, so you can reach your pet quickly.I prefer fabric to metal crates although of course not as robust. Its great for shorter journeys. I would not recommend it for animals that like to chew through things! Its just mesh material on the entry points. Thankfully my cats have outgrown this but I'm sure that they could get through it if they were desperate.Highly recommended to all, a great design! A*

Brilliant but heavy to carry

I honestly didn’t have high hopes for this, but it’s great! For the price, it’s much better quality than I had expected. It feels very sturdy and our dog loves it. She’s often unwell in the boot of the car, so I place this on the back seat, in the centre and with the air vents pointing up and she’s much happier. She can also see out the front and side windows. TIP - I have to place the crate in the back seat FLAT and the pop it open - it won’t fit through the door fully assembled. I also use some ties to secure it in place. The only bit which feels too cheap is the “padded” faux sheepskin thing on the floor - it has a piece of plastic foam inside, so I removed that and stuffed it with padding. A vet bed also makes a great covering. Overall, well worth the money. So far the little monkey hasn’t chewed it…. Oh, and no, this isn’t suitable for a full time crate - your puppy will chew it when left alone! Buy a metal one!

I may have been unfair in docking a couple of stars for 'sturdiness' because it clearly states that it is lightweight. It just feels VERY lightweight. Having said that, it is easy to set up and break down, and sling about the place - empty of course. When carrying a pet it is does become unstable if said pet is moving about. In an open area a pet larger than ours (small Jack Russell) would easily be able to move it around when inside.

So I made a miscalculation with the height and thought it would fit in the boot. It didn’t. So chose to put on the back seat (put in folded down and then put poles together) This is very sturdy. I thought the poles would be like the ones you get in a tent but they are not. You only have two to put together, takes a bit of arm power but would rather that than it collapse. I like that it has an opening at the side,the front and the top. The fur lining for the base is very flimsy but that’s not an issue. Happy that my dogs are safe and secure and my car is kept clean from dog hair and mud. Happy with the price too. Would recommend.
