Why it matters
Sherpa's patented spring-wire frame compresses several inches to slide under seats while keeping its shape. This size measures 19 x 11.5 x 11.75 in for pets up to 22 lb. Top and side openings have escape-resistant locking zippers, mesh panels ventilate, and it carries by a padded handle or detachable strap.
