Description

Sleepypod Air is a revolutionary carrier that redefines in-cabin pet travel. Air adapts to the various under-seat storage requirements set by different airlines while providing maximum comfort for your jet set pet. Worrying about buying a carrier that will not fit under a plane seat is a thing of the past. Our patent pending folding system allows pets to travel in the largest space possible while the airplane is in the air, yet still allows for stowage under an airline seat during takeoff and landing. When the captain says you can recline your seat, rotate the Sleepypod Air so it is between your feet and expand the ends so both you and your little friend can stretch out comfortably for the duration of the flight. In-cabin pet travel has never been so comfortable. Straps on both sides allow you to secure the Sleepypod Air in your car. A pass through pocket allows you to secure the Sleepypod Air to the telescoping handle on carry-on luggage.

  • Sleepy Pod Dream Carrier
Color: Glacier Silver
I just returned from a round trip from LA to Montana for Christmas, and this Sleepypod Carrier was worth every penny even though it might be the only time my puppy will be small enough to use it for air travel. He was 9 pounds on the way to Montana and 10 pounds on the way back (he turned 3 months old during the trip and is a medium Double Doodle). I let him get used to it for a few days before I traveled and he really liked the snug cozy fit. He can still roll over and even duck his head enough to turn around in it, but with the blanket in there, he gets cozy. (Since it was -10 F in Montana with -35 wind chill, I added a fleece woolie blanket and one of my pajama tops to make him even more comfy and he loved it.) His travel day started at 7 AM in the carrier, and he didn't make even a single peep until 14 hours later when we pulled over for dinner during the 3.5 hour driving portion of the trip to rural Montana. The smells in the restaurant finally made him throw a little barking fit, but that's not the carrier's fault! As soon as he ate dinner, he went right back in and settled down for the last few hours of travel. From start to finish, it was a 17 hour day for him in the carrier with a few little leg stretching breaks at airports along the way. Not a peep! This was the third carrier I tried in 2 weeks (Sherpa and Bergen were the others) and this is the only one that kept him calm and quiet! The other two had too much mesh that he could see through and he would bite and scratch and want out because he could see us too easily. Escape seemed possible with the other two carriers. I'm guessing that he felt that "Resistance is futile" with this more sturdy design with the solid sides. I was so worried that it was going to be too big to fit under the seat of the small jets that fly into Eastern Montana (CRJ 200), but it actually fit better under the seat of the little plane that didn't have a metal divider than it did under the A320 I was on for the Salt Lake City to LA leg at the end. You just need to know or like the person next to you on the tiny plane because they'll make you put the whole thing under the seat during take off and landing, and it takes up most of the space for both people's foot space. And since there are no snaps or straps to keep the two ends up, it'll naturally stretch out to the full 22 inch length in that situation. I was in an aisle seat on the A320 and had to suqish up both sides to get it to fit completely under the divided seat in front of me that had the metal bracket. It actually does fit, but very snugly, and doesn't require squishing down on the top. Only the two sides. Right after takeoff, I turned the carrier so that he could stretch out the full length of the carrier. No problem. It would fit fine under the middle seat, but the aisle is tight and you have to fold up the sides. If you know you are on a bigger plane, you might want to choose the center seat for your puppy's comfort! People assumed that it was just a small duffel bag. Nobody knew I had a dog with me until they saw his head peek out after de-planing. This "duffel bag" design comes in handy when you need to sneak him in to restaurants or stores along the way. Nobody suspected I had a dog with me because he was so cozy and quiet and the solid colored sides (mine is red) help it to pass as a high end gym bag. One store asked me to please check my gym bag at the front counter until I proved that it was a puppy. They were so surprised at how quiet he was that they let me keep shopping with him in my cart. The suitcase handle pass-through was invaluable! In addition to the free hand or shoulder, keeping him on my suitcase throughout our many stops really calmed him to be at eye level while waiting in airports with long mechanical delays waiting for our next tiny plane. This carrier also served as his "time out" crate over the holidays when he got too rambunctious around 45 family members and multiple adult dogs. My family was impressed how he immediately relaxed and laid down and slept when I put him in the carrier during our human meals and when he was too feisty with the many adult dogs who tired of his puppy antics. I highly recommend this carrier. It makes me wish my puppy would never get any bigger so that I could take him on more trips in the future! What a great design! (And I loved the zipper pockets for treats and toys) ... show more

  • Quality, safe pet carrier.
Color: Glacier Silver
It is a very nice, sturdy carrier, while still being light weight. Much less bulky than other carriers I have tried, yet still offers nice pockets to stow leashes, some treats and collapsible travel bowls. The bottom is removable for cleaning. Interior is soft and comfortable. I love that there is a built in clip to secure using the seatbelt for car travel. Folds down fat for storage. The pet travel tip book was a nice surprise too. I do with that the mesh was a bit more see through so that you could interact with your pet without having to open it. Because of the zipper design, you pretty much have to open an end. So then my dog wanted to come out rather than just get a little attention while staying inside. ... show more

  • High quality carrier for frequent travelers
Color: Orange Dream
I have a Jack Russell Terrier mix who weighs 14 lbs, is 20" long and 15" tall when standing straight up. I frequently travel with my pup by commuter train and airplane. Previously I had a Sherpa bag which literally fell to pieces. Now mind you, it was well used over a couple of years, so I have no complaints about the craftsmanship. However, it was uncomfortable to carry and airlines often questioned whether my dog would be able to comfortably fly in it. Using it became a nuisance. I purchased the Sleepypod hoping it would resolve some of these issues. Yes, it is an expensive purchase. However, it is really well made and very roomy for my pup. As Sleepypod's website instructed, I bent the ends several times prior to use. They are definitely stiff initially, but with each bend, they become easier to fold in. (Based on other reviews of the product, I would suggest Sleepypod provide such instruction on the insert that comes with the product, not just on their website.) Our first flight was very successful. My pup felt very safe and secure inside her bag. She was able to stretch out comfortably and the airline did not question whether she would fly comfortably in it. I also found it really easy to get her in and out of it, however my dog is well trained to use such a bag so she goes in and out on her own accord. I loved having the ability to slide the carrier over my roller luggage handle. I use to fake such functionality with the Sherpa, but it was always clumsy and I was worried my pup would slide off. It's very easy to carry over your shoulder, although the shoulder pad needs to be worn in so that it will sit more nicely. However, I love the handle on top which lets me carry her in front of me in tight situations, such as when boarding the plane. Once I got her on the plane, I only had to fold in one side as there was room for the other side to stay open. It folded easy enough, but I found it too difficult to move her around once we got in the air, so I left her be. It was a short flight. The zipper pouch is spacious enough for her leash and collapsible water bowl. There seemed to be space left over for more items, if needed. The padded bed is soft to the touch and easy to remove for cleaning. I love that it folds up compactly when not in use. It's super easy to store and get out of the way. I purchased it in Orange Dream - the color is really fun and the canvas material seems easy to clean. The only question I have about the product is that it came with a flat piece of black plastic - I have no idea where this goes or what I'm suppose to do with it. If you frequently travel with your dog as I do, I highly recommend this product. If you travel only once in a while, I would save your money and get a Sherpa bag. ... show more

  • Worked great to move two cats, Alaska Airlines
Color: Glacier Silver
I used these two sleepypods to move my two cats between states. The carriers fit perfectly lengthwise as pictured, even under the seats of a smaller plane (just two seats on both sides of the aisle) on an Alaska airlines flight. I did collapse both ends of the two carriers to make them fit, which was easy. The zippers are very sturdy and able to resist one of my cat’s attempts to claw her way out. Side pocket was great for holding their snacks and extra puppy pads in case they made a mess. I like that they fold down for storage as well. Glad I got them, will be using on future flights for sure. ... show more
