    Let your pet try it at home. If they can't sit, turn, and settle — or you change your mind — send it back within 30 days. No reason needed, and we pay the return shipping with a prepaid label. A fit test indoors doesn't affect your return, and a little fur is expected.

    Full refund, or an exchange for another size that ships as soon as the carrier scans your return. Sizing down is free; sizing up costs only the price difference.

Description

An open-top dog car seat with mesh lower walls, clip-on seat-back straps, and a front zip pocket, made in two sizes for small and medium dogs.

Errand loops are better with a co-pilot. This open-top seat gives your dog a box seat on the back bench — walls high enough to feel tucked in, top open enough that ears and nose stay in the conversation.

Setup is a two-snap job: the straps loop behind the seat and their swivel hooks catch the rim, so the box stays planted while paws pace a circle and settle in. The lower walls are mesh on both sides to move air at nose height, and the padded rim makes a fine chin rest at red lights.

A zip pocket on the front holds waste bags and a spare clip, and the seat comes in two sizes and four colors for small and medium dogs.

Care & cleaning

Spot-clean the shell as needed. Lift out the base pad to machine-wash cold and air-dry, and wipe down the interior after travel days.

Shipping & returns

Free shipping across the US & Canada by air express, tracked door to door. Orders ship from our warehouse in Guangdong, China, dispatched within 1–2 business days; most orders reach your door 4–12 business days after you order, the same window in the US and Canada.

Returns are free for 30 days — we email a prepaid label, so it costs you nothing. Exchanges ship free both ways too: sizing down costs nothing, and if the size you swap to costs more, you pay only the difference. Trying the fit at home is fine; that is what the window is for.

Arrived damaged or defective? That is a return too — same prepaid label, full refund or a free replacement. Just add a photo of the problem when you start the return.

Riding along

A box seat with a chin rest

The padded rim sits at resting-chin height for a small or medium dog, a soft edge to prop their head on while the scenery does the moving.

Two-snap setup

Swivel hooks clip the box in place

Each strap runs over the seat back, adjusts for length, and snaps onto the rim with a swivel hook — on in about a minute, off just as fast.

Nose-height airflow

Mesh walls that let the breeze through

Both lower walls are black mesh, pulling air through the box at nose height; one glance back says whether it's naptime or lookout duty in there.

Fit check

Will my pet fit?

Enter your pet's weight and body length to see whether this carrier gives them room to sit, turn, and settle.

Great fit

Your pet should have room to sit, turn around, and relax comfortably.

This carrier is sized for pets up to about 23.1 lb with body length to 20 in. Use it as a guide alongside your pet's comfort.

Good to know

Common questions.

How does it stay secure in the car?

A built-in pass-through routes your seatbelt through the carrier to anchor it to the seat. Always position it on the back seat and confirm a snug fit before driving.

Can my pet see out on the drive?

Yes. Mesh sides keep your pet visible and ventilated, which helps many pets ride calmly.

My pet is between two sizes. Which should I choose?

Use the fit check with real weight and body length. If you land between sizes, size up for comfort on longer drives.

Is the interior easy to clean?

Yes. The pad lifts out and the lining wipes down after travel-day spills.

What is your return policy if the fit is wrong?

Free returns within 30 days, no reason needed — we email a prepaid label. Prefer another size? Sizing down is free; sizing up costs only the price difference. Let your pet try it at home first; a fit test indoors does not affect your return.
