Will the front of this fold down if the dog puts its feet up on the rim of it? Or is it sturdy? I have a 12lb maltese.

I have an eleven pound Bichon who stands on the rim without incident. No "fold down" events to date.

I purchased 2 of the "Solvit" dog seats and have used them for for about 2 years. They hold up beautifully - will not collapse when your dog puts its paws on the outer edges. You can adjust the strap so your dog can easily look out the windows. Buy with confidence.

I don't believe it will. It has a wire support that helps to keep its shape. There is a diagonal bar to keep it upright that goes from front top to back bottom I think. My dogs are 5 pounder and stand on it all the time. Doesn't give a bit.. Hope that helps.

No, the front remains rigid. My 13 pund shin and 12 Maltese stand on it. They also sleep with their heads on it.

Not very sturdy. It is stable, but I thought that if something heavy (like my son's backpack) dropped on it, then it would break. I bought a bamboo shoe rack and put this in my son's closet where it was less likely that he or the dog would crash into it and break it. It is a very good price.

Yes, if you have the front section open. When the front section is closed, the dog would have to ball up to lie down. I really like this pack for short periods of time when I need my dog to be on my back. My dog is almost 11 lbs.

My dog weighs About 10lbs. Although it will support him it folds up and is difficult to keep him stable. Pretty much it's cheap! I would recommend that you choose another brand, but not a bad product.

Only the sides and the front touch the ground (back and bottom are open). But it seems really stable and mine has never slipped despite a 120-pound dog scrambling up it.

You can fold the seats down but it won't contain the dog when used like that. Hope this answers your question.

It's a little less stable when completely folded to 7", especially in areas where the floor is not 100% level. Mine won't fall over by itself, but a good-sized cat launching off of it would probably knock it down.

Hello! I actually have two of these! I love them. To me the bottoms are pretty sturdy and you can buckle them in. I have a mini doxie that's about 8 lbs and a small poodle mix that's about 12 lbs and they seem to like them and stay safe

It folds in half. It has a tiny bit of give when installed. My dog is smaller than I thought she would be so the crate is too big but I removed the divider.

This isn't attached to a wall or floor, so if you have a determined jumper, they will probably be able to get over it. Overall, it's very sturdy, though. I have a 60 lb basset hound that tried once or twice to push it over or go around but he gave up and hasn't tried since. We've had it almost a year with no issues. We use it on carpet. Might move or slide more on smooth floors.

I'm not sure that 'sturdy' is the word I'd use, it is only held together by the two 'rack' pieces having some tension against the drip pan. One 'rack' piece has a notch so that the other fits in securely. While it isn't 'sturdy' per se, it is firm enough to be perfectly usable. I have never had issues with it collapsing when either placing a bird on or taking a bird off, nor any step in between. I would purchase it again. I hope this helps answer your question.

I don't think it will be as secure and may slide around if your dog fidgets. If there is enough of an indentation from top to bottom it may work fine but if it (the seat) is more straight from top to bottom it won't work.

I just put it on my hardwood floor, and I think the animal's weight would push it. But if it's propped up against something, it should stay put. I currently keep it on the rug against my bed.

It's pretty strong, but will sag, so you may have to have it pretty tight between the uprights. My large dogs ran into it a lot (it was around the in ground pool) and it never tore or split.

Yes, it is more flimsy than some I have seen but does feel sturdy when open. Mine was brand new; now just have to get the dog to "like it"

My puppy is 3 lbs and she was able to knock it over. The thing is, I wouldn't care that she knocks it over, the problem is it collapses on the one side. Once the one side collapses the whole thing does and it is folded up on her. Your dog would have plenty of room. It is a nice playpen, it just needs to be more sturdy!

My 130 lb. Great Dane "digs" like crazy and practically empties the pool of water so I can say a hearty YES to that question. It will hold up. :)
