Amazon Basics Hard-Sided Cat Carrier, Two-Door Top-Load Pet Dog/Cat Travel Box Carrier, Blue, 48.3 L x 32 B x 25.4 H cm

I would give this 20 stars if I could. I've just returned another brand which was very expensive but the front 'door' had started going rusty after just a few months. This carrier is better designed, better made, sturdier, safer, better top opening mechanism and a solid top door, better side catches, better and stronger front opening mechanism, and half the price!

Sturdy, secure, easy to assemble, lightweight to carry. It’s my first time needing a carrier for my rabbits. It’s their first vet trip. I read a wonderfully helpfully review of this carrier, from somebody mentioning she liked the bolt feature (something I hadn’t considered to be a feature to look out for). She mentioned it adds extra security if the side clips fail or break. After reading reviews of other carriers, people mentioned the clips broke or the bottom fell off in transit and the animal fell out. So, it was a big reason I purchased this carrier, because the top and bottom can also be bolted with metal screws and not just rely on the plastic clips to hold them together. However, when assembling the carrier, the screw went in fine, but I struggled to attach the washer on the other end, it was fiddly, no helpful tool supplied to do it and I couldn’t tighten them fully with my fingers. In the end, I just used black cable ties instead of the screw bolts. Easier when dissembling for storage that way, just cut the ties instead of fiddling with a bunch of six screws. I’m pleased it can open from the top via the handle, or from the front cage entrance. The gate felt thick, rather than thin wire. The clasp feature to lock it felt very secure. I feel the rabbits will be safe and secure and can’t escape, God-willing! I bought the small 19” size because it won’t be used often, or for long journeys (vets is 10min drive away). My rabbit is the size of a small-medium cat/dog. He is a fully grown Lop rabbit, 18mth old (not dwarf or mini). In my opinion, This carrier will be suitable for a medium sized adult rabbit, or a small-medium cat. I don’t think it’s suitable for an animal of this size for a long journey over 30-45min long, as there isn’t too much space for stretching/sprawling out, or standing on hind legs. If the animal is returning from vet treatment and needing to lay/rest with minimal movement, then it’s ideal. It will also be fine for short journeys, if the animal has had exercise time prior to entering the carrier, they’ll likely stay still and sleep. For a long, lengthy journey, or for a larger cat/dog/rabbit etc, I’d suggest buying the bigger size option. Very happy with this purchase. The price was very good compared to some options that didn’t appear to be as good. My only regret is not buying the larger size, just incase I ever want to do a long journey with them (I should of thought that through better!) at least it will be easy for storage and also, the bottom section of the carrier can be used as a spare litter tray when not used for the carrier feature (yes, for those who don’t own rabbits, they can be litter trained like cats).

This is a great cat carrier - sturdy, really roomy and easy to assemble. I love the top opening feature. Unfortunately delivery was woeful - courier lost it and I was told it wasn't going to arrive. Amazon promptly refunded my money, and eventually the carrier did arrive. Worth the wait.

Our feline friend loves this and sleeps in it by choice, which makes subsequent trips to the vet or cattery far less onerous. A super added feature is that it is also top opening in addition to the usual end door. It's robust, transports well and isn't unattractive if permanently placed on display in the house. Good value and highly recommended.

This is a great size, high quality carrier. If you have an adult cat you want this size (the bigger size). My cats vary in size but this one will be great for all of them. It doesn't just clip together it also is secured with nuts and bolts which are a bit fiddly if you have long nails but overall really easy to put together. If you have a cat on the slightly chunky side this just makes the whole thing feel much more secure. While it doesn't come with a shoulder strap it does have the clips so you could attach a shoulder strap if you wanted. The front door of the carrier is really good quality and very secure and you can also open from the top, removing a top panel. This I think makes it ideal if your cat is going for an operation at the vets because they can just open the top and place the cat back inside. It's a really well thought out design. Obviously the cat hates it because she knows cat carrier equals vet trip but she has a lot of room inside and she may hate it but I'm confident she'll be comfy and secure in there.

Great quality! Easy to assemble, and easy to carry. I keep mine out and open as my cat actually likes to sleep in it at night time which I wasn’t expecting at all.

Just what I wanted to fit 3 guinea pigs for transporting. Very sturdy and love that it’s a two door opening. Top door is spring loaded which is a plus. Will deffo fit 3 Guinea pigs with room to move around. A very sturdy carrier. Would definitely recommend

I've just ordered my second one of these as they are so great! I have two rabbits and when it's time to go to the vets, I have a bit of a battle on my hands. Most carriers just have a front opening so it can be really hard to manoeuvre our furry friends inside. I was resorting to hiding treats inside but they soon caught on to that! With this carrier having a top door, you can pick up the bunnies and gently lower them in. It's also great in the car as you can open the top and reassure them. The carriers are very sturdy, even with heavier animals. One of mine weights 4kg and the other 2.75kg and it manages both with no issues. The floor can be a bit slippy though so I put a non slip mat inside so that they have traction. The door is made of metal so it cannot be chewed. This carrier comes in two sizes. It's a shame the smaller one is significantly lower in height as I feel there needs to be an inbetween size. The small is too small for one of my bunnies, but the large is a little too large. Not a major issue though, better to get one with more space than one that is too small. I did order one from Amazon Warehouse that was supposed to be good as new. However it arrived without original packaging and had fur / urine stains on it. This was sent back and I've ordered a brand new one. I would highly recommend this carried. Although there are cheaper ones on the market, considering it's functionality, I'm happy to pay the extra to have a carrier that's easier to use.

I was amazed by the quality of it all. I have had transportboxes that could not handle the weight. The lock system is also good. All metal, can not open if a wild cat goes bananas in there. I can really commend these. I am happy that I bought four of them!

Très belle cage avec jolie couleur. La matière plastique semble épaisse et donc, assez solide, il en est de même pour les ouverture de devant et du dessus Deux accès pour faire entrer l'animal, l'ouverture du dessus permet de mettre un animal avec moins de difficulté que par l'ouverture de devant. Il faut cependant avoir le coup de mains pour l'ouvrir et la fermer correctement. Avantage, l'ouverture du dessus s'enlève totalement pour un nettoyage plus efficace. Les 6 vis augmentent la solidité de la cage. Seule bémol, la notice qui l'accompagne indique de mettre les vis vers le haut et le boulon en-dessous. Mais la partie épaisse de plastique ne permet pas de visser correctement le boulon et à mon sens, ne permet pas de solidifier les deux pièces de la cage ensemble. Je mets donc les vis dans l'autre sens, moins esthétique certes, mais cela renforce la fermeture des deux pièces de la cage et évite aussi la perte malencontreuse d'un boulon. A voir dans le temps mais je penses que cette cage tient sur le long terme. Sera utilisée pour une petite minette de 4kg

Super et très solide

Wir haben die Größe 48 cm Länge gekauft. Die Box hat eine Tür mit einem hervorragenden Schließmechanismus. Man kann das Tier auch über den Deckel hinein- und hinaussetzen, jedoch ist die Öffnung recht klein, wenn man nur halbseitig aufklappen würde. Hier empfehlen wir den Deckel ganz zu entfernen oder die Tür zu nutzen. Der Mechanismus des Deckels ist jedoch nur aus Plastik. Das Material (Metall) der Tür ist sehr gut und sehr stabil. Das komplette Oberteil wird mit guten Schrauben mit dem Unterteil fixiert. Wir würden die Box nicht am Henkel greifen, sondern mit beiden Händen tragen. Das Gewicht mit dem Tier zieht den Henkel im Bereich des Deckels der ja wiederum nur mit Plastik befestigt ist. Für uns erscheint es zu unsicher. EUR 33,00 ist heutzutage leider nicht mehr viel Wert. Dafür ist die Box angemessen.

Compré este transportín (de 48 cm), basándome en la opinión de otros compradores, pero ha resultado ser muy pequeño para mi gato (5,5 kg). Finalmente, he tenido que comprar el grande (59,5 cm) ya que en este, entrar, entra, pero con calzador y no puede mover. Se lo he regalado a mi hermana que tiene una gata más pequeña y a ella sí le resulta muy cómodo. Respecto al grande (59,5 cm), estoy encantada ya que el gato está cómodo y se puede mover con lo que, en un viaje estará tranquilo. En las fotos podéis ver la diferencia de tamaño para que podáis valorar cual os viene mejor. Nos gusta: * la posibilidad de poner los tornillos. Dado el tamaño de mi gato, me siento más segura con ellos puestos. * la ventilación, * que la puerta frontal sea metálica, * que se pueda meter al animal por la parte superior. * fácil limpieza. Buen producto, muy recomendable.
