Our take on the TrustyPup Easy Explorer Travel Pet Carrier

The TrustyPup Easy Explorer is a soft-sided carrier for small dogs up to about 16 lb, sized at 18 by 11 by 10.5 inches to fit under most airline seats. It collapses flat for storage, has mesh ventilation panels, locking zippers and a built-in seat belt strap so it doubles as a car seat carrier. It weighs only 2.5 lb, so it is easy to carry through a terminal. Against rigid crates it trades crash-test structure for portability; against other soft carriers it stands out for the locking zippers and seat belt loop at this size.

Questions and answers

Is it approved by airlines?
It is designed to meet under-seat dimensions at 18 x 11 x 10.5 inches, but each airline sets its own rules. Confirm with your airline before flying.
What size dog fits?
It is built for small dogs up to about 16 lb. A dog should be able to stand and turn inside; measure your dog against the 18-inch length.
Can I use it in the car?
Yes. A built-in seat belt strap threads through the vehicle belt to hold the carrier on the seat. It is a restraint, not a crash-tested crate.
Does it fold for storage?
Yes, the soft frame collapses flat, which suits closets and car trunks between trips.
How much ventilation does it have?
Mesh panels on the sides and top let air through and let the dog see out. In hot weather, avoid leaving the dog in a closed car with it.
What is in the box?
The carrier itself with its built-in seat belt strap and carrying handle. A soft mat is not included, so add a small bed or pad.
