Dog Carrier Backpack – Legs Out Front – Facing Pet Carrier Backpack for Small Medium Large Dogs, Airline Approved Handsa – Canvas Mesh Free Cat Travel Bag

Works well on back
I initially was going to return it because I am too big for it… but I tested it out without using one of the straps, and it works fine as a backpack. I cant hold my dog in front like I initially wanted to because the strap is too small for me (the one that goes around my waist) But I can wear it as a backpack without said strap and its just fine. I use this to take her on electric bike rides and she absolutely loves it!! It takes a minute or so to get her set up in it and what not, but its worth it. She seems to feel safe in it. If your dog is reasonably well trained this should be good. She did try to squirm a couple of times, like for example when a car drove up behind me (at a safe distance) but she knows to get out of the way of cars! So she tried to squirm but I told her to stay and she stopped squirming. I can imagine some dogs would fight and succesfully get out of this as it did not seem to get very tight on her. She’s 25lbs, and it feels a bit loose on her with all of her parts through the holes. It does not seem like you can tighten it enough at the top near her neck.. at least for my comfort. I would like it if it was a little tighter around the neck area to make sure she couldnt climb out. She could definitely climb out if she watned to. It only works because she chooses to stay still for me, as she knows I wont take her if she doesnt stay still in it.

Not easy to use
Well made – but here are the problems -loading the pet means putting 4 paws and a tail in – and then zipping up the sides – the dog was great but I was exhausted trying to get her loaded- once she was in -zipping the sides was awkward -then the lack of padding in shoulders made the 12 lb weight uncomfortable – it was difficult to attach the waist strap – but in general very uncomfortable for the user – I can’t imagine carrying her on a walk – which is what I wanted – maybe tiny pets ?

Unsafe
The backpack is so cute, but when I was carrying my dog around and then he started moving around. So I checked to see what was happening and the side of the backpack was unzipped. The backpack can unzip very easily, as I am carrying my dog on my back I can’t see what is happening, so to me this is very unsafe! I am just glad I checked and he didn’t fall.

Very well made and the dog seemed comfortable!!
We bought this to try and ride our bikes with the dog. He didn’t like being in a basket. He’s a 20lb dachshund min-pin mix, so long body, tall legs and he fit just fine. The only issue on riding the bike is the straps tend to slip off your shoulders from leaning forward. Easily fixed with just using a strap to keep them secure across your back. Wouldn’t recommend for long bike rides as your wrists get sore, but around town, it will do just fine!!

The bottom strap is a bit small to go across your waist but it still works with just the top strapped. My dog is 20 pounds, when I carry him on my back I can barely feel him.

Me sirvió para mi perrita Schnauzer Mini, ella es muy nerviosa y suele sentirse incómoda, pero en esta mochila jamás se pone nerviosa y se nota que esta súper cómoda. Me encanta que tiene doble zipper, así que se le puede colocar súper fácil, como si fuera ropa. La mochila es de muy buen material resistente, no le estorba en el cuello ni le aprieta. Tiene cintillas para ajustarla. La recomiendo mucho para perros pequeños, ya que evidentemente va al frente y después de un rato el peso del perro molesta. La recomiendo mucho !
