Meets airline regulations

This pet carrier meets airline regulations. Being a soft shell, it has some advantages that make it flexible. American Airlines says this size can fit under your seat but honestly I couldn't figure out how to do that without crushing an 8 week old Pomeranian I just picked up at DFW Airport. No problem as this stretcher sat very comfortably on my lap during the flight. It folds very small and fits in my backpack during departure, amazing! The underside is hard lined with a softer sherpa lined…

Definitely worth the price

So I bought the Sherpa American Airlines medium-sized carrier. I love it. Came in a very small box which put me off at first. When I opened the box, I saw that the roll-up bag actually zips and unzips. The padding supplied by Sherpa can be attached to the four corners of the mat with Velcro fasteners, then removed and cleaned on a gentle cycle. It has a part where you can put the carrier on the handle of your suitcase, which is nice. The Sherpa pet bag also has a storage pocket. I used it to…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Low repairability

Not as well designed and built as other Sherpa aircraft carriers

I'm a bit surprised that American Airlines certified this carrier. It is not as functional as other Sherpa wearers. The Sherpa Deluxe and Sherpa Delta models are a much better choice. For one, everything collapses when the doors open, making it impossible to put your pet in the carrier. Secondly, the top zipper hole where your pet can put their head is 2"-3" behind the door, which means it will be very difficult for your pet to put their head out of the hole when it is longer than 30.5 cm…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Slightly torn

THE WORST TRANSPORTER!

DO NOT BUY! I wish there could be 0 stars for this item. I bought it because I needed to pick up a rescue cat in New York and then fly him back. First, I've had several carrier bags in the past, but because they're so flimsy, it's almost impossible to get a cat into this carrier bag and snap it shut in time. Second, the carrier doesn't hold its shape and keeps falling on the cat, who would get quite upset at the need to be in the carrier in the first place. Third, it didn't even fit under the…

Pros
  • Excellent performance
Cons
  • If in doubt
