The short answer
The Center for Pet Safety (CPS) is an independent nonprofit that runs crash evaluations on pet travel products and publishes the products that pass. A product on its list was evaluated in a specific model and size. Makers' own 'crash' claims are not the same thing, so check the CPS list for the exact model and size you're buying.
What the list covers
CPS publishes harnesses, crates and carriers that met its standard, by product name and size. Sizes matter: a listing for one size doesn't cover the rest.
| Product | CPS listing (as we found it) |
|---|---|
| Sleepypod Clickit Sport | Listed; 5-star rating; sizes S–XL |
| Gunner G1 Kennel | Small, Medium and Intermediate |
| Sleepypod Air | Listed; pets up to 18 lb |
| Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed | Listed; pets up to 15 lb |
Reading maker claims
- A maker saying 'crash rated' isn't a CPS listing.
- Match the exact model name and size to the list.
- Use the product only as the maker directs, with the right anchor points.
