Review on Expandable Foldable Pet Carrier for Medium Cats and Small Dogs - 🐱 Airline Approved Soft-Sided Travel Bag with Fleece Pad, Foldable Bowl - Cat Carrier by Barbara Freeman

Flew Boeing 737-8 and 737 max. Both times I sat in the middle seat and both times it fit completely under the seat and I didn't have to squeeze it too hard. I noticed that it also fits under the window sill. Professional, it fit perfectly under the seat of the plane, there was enough room in my 9 lb shitzu to roll over. I bought these for the front zipper as well as the side zippers. I liked the front zip as I could unzip it and soothe my pup during takeoff and landing, two things he and I hate about flying lol. I love that you can wear it as a backpack, carry it with handles, or carry it with a shoulder strap. I also love that the backpack straps tuck neatly into the zip pocket on the back so the straps don't pull and the collapsible water bowl was a nice touch. Cons: The side pocket was big enough to stash a small leash, I had to store his bottle of soothing CBD oil in the folded side mesh. The bottom could be stronger, it flexes at times and there is no bottom/end support when worn as a backpack. I wish the zippers were better, made of more durable metal, but they stayed closed. The only other minor annoyance was that the side pads didn't stay on the sides with velcro so the sides just flipped up to lay on the bottom of the stretcher. All in all it served its purpose, my pup had plenty of room to fit under an airplane seat and also worked as a car seat on the way to the airport. He could pop his head out of a zip top while waiting for a plane and my favorite part was the extreme front flap that can be opened to give more space and comfort under the seat and I could see through that for reassurance swipe net. While it's not a perfect carrier, it worked well for us.
