I sent this seat back because we no longer wanted it. It was very flimsy. Maybe it can hold ten pounds?

Please don't hold me to this, but I think I read somewhere a 300 lb max. I would check with the manufacturer to be certain.

the large size would be ok. double check by measuring height by lenght and then look at size of carrier.

Not super comfortably, but I believe the weight limit is 35 . I love this product. Bought two of these because they are so useful, especially going to the vet's, but my cargo is cats. Two at a time can fit and they are fine. One looks out one end, and one looks out the other ! And, they get used to it right away, as well.

The specs say 300 lbs conservative. We have a TroyBilt 30" 2 stage snow thrower that lists as approximately 371lbs and have used this carrier for it on both a Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram 1500. We are careful to ratchet strap the unit securely to the carrier. The fact that it is aluminum is a joy, and even one strong individual can install to hitch if need be.

The carrier is very light. My dog is 17 lbs. I pull her through the airport and carry her onto the plane. The weight is mostly the dog's weight.

The cargo limit is 500# as stated by the manufacturerhttp://www.safarijeeps.com/product-information/load-capacity-and-safety/

if I remember correctly the max weight is 40-45 lbs so your luggage may take the most wear, but more than enough space. The product is amazing!

The 2 & 3-bike trunk carriers are rated to support a maximum weight of 90lbs. according to the PDF manual. For a trunk-mounted carrier like this, I would try to stay at about 35-40lbs. maximum per bike to be safe. I have no direct experience with the 3-bike carrier at all and would find that a pretty hefty load for a trunk-mounted carrier. Every car trunk and support structure is fairly unique, so always err on the side of caution when maxing out the weight on a trunk. Also, always mount the heavier bike closer to the trunk to minimize twisting and the extra leverage against the trunk that the added weight can apply.

Small, like a kitten or a rat, at max. I would say 2 to 5 pounds. Thats what got me. Its a nice carrier, but it's to small. And they have a restock cost, and you have to pay the postage back, so I just kept it. So my recommendation is to make sure you buy one that fits your animal and even bigger, and if they don't give you the total info, don't buy it. Hope this helps, Marc

20 to 25 lbs without the carriers. It has a lot of room but weighs more than 1 pound

My mom used this for her min pin she weighs 15 lbs. The pup had plenty of room to move. This carrier is very nice.

Can't necessarily say about the Maximum for this carrier...I sort of base that upon the capacity of my Cross Bars (150lbs). I have used these to haul a 13' composite kayak(about 40-45 lbs) and a 16' rotomolded kayak (About 50-60 lbs) with no issues.

I haven't read what the stated weight is for the carrier. I use it for my 10-pound cat. I've found that, when I carry it one-handed by the handle, the bottom seems to sag down (there are many hinged panels for folding flat, so they get pulled down). I carry it with my right hand on the handle, and my left hand supporting the bottom. It just feels more secure and steadier for the cat. I don't mind doing this, as he loves this carrier so much, I keep it out in the living room with the door off when we are going somewhere... it's his home! (He can also sit up in it without his head touching the top, which is a bonus.) In summary, if you don't mind supporting the bottom, your pet could probably go up to 20 pounds in this thing.

weight limit for small size carrier is only 10 lbs, not 22 as stated from an earlier answer. The large size has a weight limit of 22 lbs.
