can you use it in the car to transport them to the vet?

Not really unless you can put the whole stroller in the car. My husband had a truck and we use to put the stroller in the back seat after taking the seat out. It will work then. Their is no support if not attached to the stroller.

Judy, yes you can, because the basket comes out and there is also a zippered covering for the top of the basket to keep them inside.

The basket itself does not allow you to carry it without the frame so I would think not for that purpose.

It would be very inconvenient to do this and also I believe it would not be safe.

If the base fits under the car, then, yes, you can. The part where you hang the harness turns in all directions and you can nicely lower the patient to the seat.

You can hook your dog in the seat. I just came back from a very long trip and my dog loved her car seat! She can look out the window and not get car sick.

Yes. I've used it to take my sun conure to the vet. It's a great little cage for outings and trips to the vet.

I don't think this is intent of this crate, but I guess you could run the seat belt through the top strap and around the crate to secure it. It would definitely be better than not having the pet secure. It would be better it you were able to set in the back of an suv on a flat surface and then secure.

Probably not. Once our very clever Poodle managed to get her head through a corner and get stuck and we had to stop, extricate her and re-attach the barrier. There are spaces around the edges that are slightly larger. Cats are smaller, more persistent, and "slipperier." I would assume they could get through. I really think transporting kitties requires a cat crate or carrier. That's how we move ours around.

Yes. To transport a small dog or a 10lb cat. Just to verify, I'd like to say this was a gift. I did put my biggest cat in there to see if he'd fit...he did. I don't know how durable it will be over time but was impressed by it's sturdiness when I looked it over. The recipient of the carrier loved it & transported 2 small cats in it...

This carrier is WAY too flimsy for transporting an animal on public transportation. It's fine for your home. It's fine for transporting a dog to an obedience/agility trial; put it on a cart; you will not be able to carry it by the handle bcs it will too heavy with the pet inside. It probably is ok for transporting your pet in the car, but bungee it down for safety. I use mine for naps and overnights at home. mb

Yes. Be aware that this cage is large and heavy. I would not recommend for back and forth to the vet due to the bulkiness but a long trip like that, you may want the extra convenience of the pull out paper tray for easier cleaning and the space for the bird. It's also super easy to put together just be careful when installing the hardware as it's easy to lose a spring.

I would say you could. We kept it in the trunk of our car while on vacation. We had a sedan.

No. This is really more suitable for transporting to and from a vet visit. Not suitable for living in and nothing to secure food or water dishes. I used it to move a small parrot

It would be fine to transport the chinchilla to the vet in this carrier. Keep in mind that you would need to be careful of the fact the mesh sides could be chewed. It provides a lot of ventilation. I like the fact that you can open a small area to put just your hand in to give treats or to comfort your pet. The carrier is sturdy and comfortable. It is air line approved also for dogs.

When I take mine to the vet--all about the same weight as yours, the bottom sags on the carriers. So for short trips from the car to the vet office it's not a problem. I wouldn't go for long walks in the countryside with this stroller. Some people were talking about the wheels wearing out pretty quick too. Just use it for vet visits and it'll probably last years.

No. Unless it is a baby. I would only use for short trips to and from the vet or pet shop. Nothing more than a half hour. But if you want my solid opinion, move on. I purchased 2 of these for my hamsters and paws get pinched and 1 of my hamsters was able to escape from a properly closed carrier. The product is a good idea just needs a better design.

I would think so. I bought it to help my dog get in the car, but it did not work for me so I ended up sending it back.

Not unless you have the roller carrier for it. It's pretty heavy, that's why its such a safe and wonderful car seat!

I would think so if they tried. My two 90 lb. shepherds are ver calm in the car and sit and lie in the back quietly while I'm driving. When I get nervous is when I open the back to take out just ONE of them and the other one wants to come too. I am going to use additional bungees to secure them with their harnesses.
