I'm going to need to check the crate with my luggage for a flight. Do you think it'll stay flat and hold up to the abuse of checked luggage?

I believe it would. It is so easy to set up and put down and tough enough for my 100 lb Golden Retriever.

The crate has clips to keep it closed when folded. I'm not sure if recommend puttig it into baggage check unprotected- there are some plastic parts that could easily get damaged.

I think you could wrap luggage straps around it and put a seatbelt through the luggage straps without it collapsing in, so long as you didn't pull the straps so tight that they would squeeze the sides. I'm not sure that it would hold up to much pressure in the event of an accident or being packed in too tightly with other things. Also, after a couple of months, we threw ours out because our 10 pound shorkie could escape from it. Then she liked to jump on top of it and urinate and it is hard to clean. She doesn't like to be confined when she's home alone....

Its hard - I'm not sure if it would fit under an airplane seat honestly, it will not bend. Almost like a small suitcase with vent side. I ended up donating mine to the animal shelter as it was to bulky for me and my pup didn't like it. Hope this helps.

It "folds" up pretty well; there is a solid pan section with the wheels (for scuffing over curbs, stairs, etc. - which is good) so that portion doesn't compact all too well, but you should easily be able to get it all compressed down to a carry-on size that will go in the overhead bin (no way under the seat however). NOTE: this thing is GREAT when coming back from places, with the seat, as there is so much "air space" inside where your child would normally sit - it is perfect for all the shopping/presents that your little one/kid will get from family, shopping, etc. Plus all those clothes, etc. add an addition layer of 'cushioned protection' to your (expensive usually) carseat, as we all know the baggage handles probably compete to see how far they can throw these things...

I've used it several times as a carry on without any problems. Only once was I asked to check it right before I walked on the plane but only because the storage bins were all full. Flying out again in two weeks so I'm curious to see anything has changed as of dec 2nd.

Yes, we did. You just fold the wheels in and push the handle down and it'll sit flat, no problem. We actually left it on the seat while it was strapped into the cab too. I wouldn't leave it on if you were going to check the seat under the plane bc I fear it might get roughed up under the plane.

Yes I think you could put it in checked baggage depending on what else you were packing in that suitcase. The smallest I got it folded up to was 16" L x 10" W x 8" Tall and it weighs about 9lbs.

John,It will stay upright. You can not push it all the way down so it lies flat. Hope this helps.

I really don't know. I can say that it feels very sturdy even with the luggage on it. However, when you take luggage on an airplane, they have a 50 lb. limit for checked baggage. So, why would you need a rack that could hold 150 to 200 lbs?

I have flown with it twice and it counted as regular luggage, but I was sure to be under weight so they would not fuss with the dimensional check. I think it is pretty boarderline. HOWEVER, I will never fly with this bag again as it ripped on my return flight! Not durable enough for checked bag no matter what the seller says.

If you take proper care of it, the tent will hold up a while. Mine probably has a dozen trips on it, and remains in great shape.

Not if you're just checking it as luggage. If you're outting this in a box or suitcase it'll probably be fine.

I purchased this as a carry on for my granddaughter. I would not subject it to the abuse that checked luggage receives. It is small enough to go under the seat in front or in the overheard compartment.

That would be great as the plastic will hold stuff together well; however, the TSA agents may have to rip it off for inspection. In fact, that may be a "Red Flag" for them to inspect your nicely wrapped luggage...

Quien sabe! Depends on the luggage handlers. Probably will - if very well packed with lots of padding.

Not sure I never traveled with it. I assume since it's flat and has no moving parts or sharp edges, it would not be a problem. Contact your airline they should be able to tell you?

Hello Jarrad. I have traveled with it now for some months. It is fairly durable. It's a little bulky for my comfort and doesn't sit on my hips too well (5'3" 120 lbs) . But, should do the job fairly well.
