Customer Reviews
The "Navigator" backpack is perfect in every way. The backpack is spacious and therefore also suitable for larger cats. The endless number of small features, each of which is extremely well thought-out and practical, is simply great. It also seems to be very comfortable, as my cat loves it and even lies down in it to sleep at home from time to time. The price is also absolutely reasonable for the quality.
Excellent product! Very happy with it and surprisingly heavy duty.
We had been saving up to invest in this backpack for our cat for ages and were a little worried when we ordered it may not be worth it. We, thankfully, had no need to worry! This has been a great investment for our cat and she loves going out in it! Compared to our old backpack off Amazon, this one has superior structure so our cat does not slump and can sit on top, comfortable straps for long walks, a great selection of pockets, and the opening flaps for her to look out of are excellent. We had read some reviews complaining about slow delivery times but this was not an issue for us at all and the product was coming from overseas. We expected there to be some delay but we actually got this faster from the US than something we ordered the same day in our own country. Couldn't be happier, thank you so much!
So far, we've only taken it on short walks with it completely closed. She's not yet harness trained (given her disposition, we might not take that risk), but she still very much enjoys sitting in the backpack itself. I feel very secure with her in it with the buckles that come on the zipper so I know she definitely cannot randomly escape (not that she's tried). She loves this backpack so much she regularly sleeps in it at home, so I can't speak to how easy it is to store lol. We really liked how adjustable it is, especially compared to cheaper ones on the market. We found we try to make it sit as high as possible so that she's not jostling around too much. If we ever get her harness+sweater trained, the jostling/discomfort from jostling is probably lessened when they can peek out the top and rest their paws on the backpack. We also haven't had any accidents, and I do have cats that spray, so I can't speak to how easy it is to clean.
This is a strong sturdy backpack that holds my heavy 15 pound cats. I like that I could either open the top or the front. It’s very comfortable pack since kitties are heavy. Lots of space for the cat to hang out and they are very happy. Highly recommend as very good quality and so much fun to hike with my kitties!!
