Love the carrier. I have a miniature dachshund and she is just under 10 lbs. She fits perfectly. Lots of room to move around. And she loved it. I like the way it opens better than the Voyager model but that is just personal preference. Both seem like very good carriers. I was worried that she wouldn't like it, but after our trip when we got home, she was trying to get into it to sleep. So I guess that says it. Sturdy enough for my needs. Handles easily. Good straps. Good quality zippers. All in all a good deal. Especially for the price.
