Kenneth Cole ReactionSoft Sided Multi-Entry Collapsible Travel Pet Carrier Backpack With Removable Lining

Love this backpack, so many compliments

This backpack has it all: its comfortable, secure, easy to clean, durable, and stylish. I have used this for travel on trains, planes, busses, and I’ve even worn it while cycling. I've used it so far in 4 countries. The boards in the backpack are strong and non-warping. You can put a surprising amount of things in the pockets, and the inside padding can be unzipped to remove the boards for washing. The only reason I’m on this page is to track down a new one, since the side pockets have started to get holes after I caught them on branches and other things during my travels. I’ve had this backpack for three years, and it’s still beautiful, and everyone still wants one when they see my Riley enjoying hers. She loves it by the way. Gets in it enthusiastically, and moves her bum to the opposite side so I can zip it closed. It has a luggage strap, so Riley feels very satisfied perched atop my carry-on, lounging her way through airport shops and restaurants. When visiting new or loud places, she sees the bag as her safe place that she can retreat to if she feels overwhelmed. When we go cycling, I clip her in with the safety strap and leave the back window unzipped so she can stick her head out and enjoy having her ears flapping in the wind. This backpack is a joy. I’ve seen other backpacks online that appear to have a similar shape and sturdy design, but this one is stylish without compromising anything, and that is difficult to find. The ONLY thing I would caution people about is that when you close the zippers, zip them to the top of the bag, not the bottom of the bag. Mainly because you cannot see the zipper down there unless you turn the bag over, and you might not realize you left it partially open. With the weight of the pet and a lot of moving about, they MIGHT start to slide open if you didn't fully close it. I don't think it's a defect with the bag or the zipper. I have not had this issue when zipping to the top, the zippers stay closed. So it’s easy to avoid that problem.

Stylish & comfortable, but not as durable as hoped

It’s a very attractive carrier. It’s comfortable to wear on my back. But the mesh siding on mine has ripped. I’ve had it over a year, maybe 2 years, so I can speak to its general durability. I only use it about once/month. When I noticed my pet’s head peeping out, I was concerned; and the mesh rips easily once it has a small tear. I sewed it to prevent further tearing. But realize it’s not a durable as I had hoped. If you’re buying for a single trip, and you have an older or very mellow pet, this is probably great. Mine scratched a few times and must have caught the mesh… but I expected it to be more hefty since it is for pets. Still, use it for car trips because it’s very cute.

Perfect bag for animals under 10 pounds

Started to use this bag immediately after getting it and I love it as much as my Yorkie (8 pounds). Perfect for traveling around town (I use a different carrier for planes), sleek enough to be totally disguised as a normal backpack and comfy enough for your pet to breathe and see out. The two mesh pockets on the side are big enough to fit a small umbrealla or water bottle. The front zipper can hold som treats or a toy. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this carrier. Sturdy, stylish, and stealthy--people are shocked to discover I'm toting a cat inside.

Dogie Backpack!

Great looking for you; safe, comfortable, and airy for puppies around 10 lbs. (My 15 lb poodle didn't fit.) I really wanted to keep it!

Love

This is a great pet carrier. Works well for small dogs. No issues flying. Have used on two occasions.
