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

The media could not be loaded. 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 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.

I like how this carrier has screws to help keep the top and bottom attached. It's very sturdy and for my large cat it gives him plenty of space.My only dislike is the top door. I feel like one day the plastic rods will snap and my cat will end up escaping. Whenever I use the handle to lift the carrier the door bends slightly. That's the only thing stopping me from giving five stars.

Bought this to replace a really flimsy carrier and I'm very happy with it. The plastic feels sturdy and the fact the top screws into the bottom makes it even sturdier. Both the doors on the front and top are easy for me to open while safely ensure my cat can't escape. I'd highly recommend this carrier, it's great value for money and I'll definitely be investing in the larger size should my cat outgrow it.

Bought this after my last mesh one fell apart after one use. Big, sturdy and very easy to use. Does take a while to put it together but once that’s done you’ve got a product that will last forever. Size is big enough for any cat or even small dogs as well
