Not pretty or fancy, but 100% does the job.
For the price, you can’t go wrong. I had a hard plastic carrier for years because my cat gets carsick and the plastic was easy to hose off, but after 10 years, it’s started breaking down on me, so it was time for a new carrier. I was surprised to find an Amazon Basics one, but figured why not give it a shot since it got good reviews.It’s a well-constructed bag; I got the large, my cat is a fatty, and I wasn’t worried about the straps or anything. The nylon is pliable but strong. The double-straps are a nice touch; carry in your hand or over your shoulder, or remove the shoulder strap if you’re not going to use it. There’s a firm cardboard piece that goes in the bottom to keep the bag upright; a soft layer velcros on to that that can be removed and machine-washed, and there’s plenty of extra room in the bag if you want to wrap towels or anything around the bottom. For my travels, I put the soft layer on, wrapped plastic shopping bags over that (2 standard plastic grocery store bags, one on each end, more than covered the whole piece), then wrapped an old towel over that. I trust the nylon not to absorb fluids, but I figured if she did get carsick, my best bet would be to just put the dirty towel in a bag and wrap the spare around the remaining stuff in there.The carrier has zipper openings at the top and the front, which is great for ease of getting the animals in and out. My cat generally won’t walk into a carrier because she knows what the carrier means, but once she’s in. she’s fine, so being able to just plop her in from the top is nice. There’s a leash hook inside, which I did actually use in the car so I could open up the front to give her some space without her flying around the car, and it seemed to work fine, she was able to lay down comfortably with it attached.There’s a huge amount of mesh space on this bag, which is great if you have a claustrophobic animal. I think one of the reasons she got carsick in her old carrier was she didn’t have much of a view, so she freaked herself out, so she threw up. In this carrier, I was able to open the front for her, and she could see me next to her in the driver’s seat without having to peek through a tiny hole, which I think made her more comfortable. I was also able to open the top and stick my hand in to pet her, which was nice.Overall, for the price, you simply cannot beat this bag for trips around town. I admittedly only use a carrier a few times a year, so I don’t need a fancy one; if I was taking an animal with me regularly or planning a long road trip, I might invest in something cushier, but for trips to the vet, groomer, or cat-sitter a few times a year, this is more than satisfactory. Highly recommend this carrier.

Will Even Handle Possessed Kitten
Excellent *time out” space for evil Devil Kitty in need of a cat excorcist. Whenever I need freedom from scratching, biting, leaping attacks, etc. , I am able to insert him into his carrier and zip it up without hurting either of us . He is satisfied to stay in there with several toys so I can finish my food or chore. I do get the ‘Cat Eye” stare, but even this is less threatening due to the sturdy black mesh sides. My Tenzin is a Himalayan suffering from a strong adverse Siamese temperament defect, very handsome and smart. This soft carrier is very durable, attractive, and easy to carry while keeping Tenzin and everyone else safe. It even has a zippered opening on top so he can stick his head out and look around when we are in the car. The carrier can be carried by hand, over the shoulder, and even crossbody using the sturdy attached straps. Love it! Tenzin doesn’t love it, but he doesn’t hate it and he will sleep in it. He even accidentally went in it once on his own and fell asleep! I’m amazed the price was so reasonable. .one main reason I bought it. Nothing is too good for this spoiled kitty!Update: It has been in use now since last April, and I have learned that I can shake the treat bag and yell “kitty treats” and Tenzin (named in honor of the Dalai Lama) will come from anywhere and proceed to the back of the carrier including tucking his impressive long and furry tail in, as long as I have been careful to sprinkle Friskies treats toward the back. If I’m slow at zipping, I just turn the carrier on it’s back end so cat and all slide that way and I get on with zipping. I am such a softie when it comes to this cat that I always use the treats to lure him in because me trying to ‘stuff’ Tenzin the Terrible into his kitty purse and KEEP him in there long enough to zip it is worthy of a YouTube video. I would post a photo of my hands and arms, but I can hear you saying in horror, “She let him do THAT to her!?” He’s getting better, though, and he’s very funny sometimes. He rolls the Cat Purse over sometimes, usually only one turn, but earlier this week he managed about three turns so he was under the pad and not happy to be there. I like that the pad is removable so it can be washed, but I also wish it was harder to remove so it would stay off Tenzin’s head.

I Love it and My Cat Does Too
This carrier is great! It’s roomy enough for a small cat or dog (though if your pet is more than 12 lbs, I suggest the next size up). It’s sturdy, but light, and easy to lift and store. The shoulder strap is handy, but not overly long and the padding around the handle is comfortable even with the add weight of your pet. The mesh screen keeps your pet comfy, but is not easy to break through (granted our cats were calm enough not to claw or bite at it (you may need extra lining if your pet is really determined to bust out). I love the dual openings. The top flap is great for when I need to place my cat in or lift her out on trips to the vet or groomer, and when I’m okay with her taking her time she can walk in or out herself through the front opening. I like having a short leash built in so I can clip her harness in and know she can’t run off the moment I open the cage. (You can even clip your pet’s leash to them first before unclipping them from the carrier to keep pets prone to running extra safe). The fleece lined bottom is soft enough that our cats like to nap on it, and easy to remove and wash. These carriers aren’t too bulky, so storage is easy, but they can’t be collapsed, so you will need a fair bit of closet space to stash them in (you could always keep other per supplies inside them or just leave them out and open for your pet to sleep in. If you drape a blanket over them, these carriers make good kitty caves). I would highly recommend these. They are so much better than those awful plastic pet crates.
