Amazon Basics Hard-Sided Cat Carrier, Two-Door Top-Load Pet Dog/Cat Travel Box Carrier, Blue, 58 L x 38 W x 33 H cm

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 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.

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.

Good quality product & fairly big. Good value for price in my opinion

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.

This pet carrier has been an absolute godsend! I have two very nervous rabbits who hate being picked up, and will bolt at the sight of their old top-loading carrier. This carrier has allowed me to load them calmly without stress - they enjoy running in and out of it from the side and do not seem to be nervous of it at all. It is great quality, although took a little bit of time to line up. My husband with patience managed to get it all loaded and the screws in place, making it sturdy and robust. Compared to the three previous carriers I've had, this is by far the best quality, and what's more, it's really good value. The best feature I find is the fact you can use both the top and the side to load/unload and access the pets. This is ideal for two fidgety and nervous bunnies. I am able to easily coax them in all by themselves from the side, no quibbles, no bites, and no darting rabbits, and when I'm at the vets, they were easily accessible from the top so that we could take them out for their checkup without the other one making a run for it. We could also access them for their jabs without the need to get them out! The material feels strong, and if looked after (i.e. not left outside), I reckon it will withstand a lot. I notice some people say the bottom fell out/top fell when they were carrying. I have not had any issues, and have found it to be vastly better than my previous options. Of course, if I were to carry it far, I would probably put a luggage belt around it to add to its security, but to be honest, if you keep within the weight limit, I don't see how it could be a problem. Just make sure to use the screws/nuts included and ensure it is securely fastened.

My cat's a smaller cat and the size fits her great. Super handy to have the two door access for the vets and I've left it out in the room and she's not afraid of it at all, in fact she'll sometimes go sniffing around in there. Definitely pleased I got this.

Ive been looking for a new cat carrier for a while as they all seem to be not so greatly made with thin plastic or clips come undone easily. But this cat carrier is amazing, thick material great clips and even comes with screws for extra safety. Overall very pleased with my purchase, design is great easy to put my kitty in and out of either doors, seems easy enough to clean and to carry my kitty around with the handle being on top! Delivery came on time. Thank you
