Why a Crash-Tested Dog Car Carrier is Essential for Car Travel?

Car Crashes Can Kill Your Dogs, Even at Low Speeds: A crash at only 30 mph can exert a force 30 times your dog’s weight, which could cause instant death or serious harm. Crash-tested Carriers are strictly lab-tested to offer protection in car crashes

Why 99% of Pet Carriers / Boosters Are Unsafe in Car Crashes?

Although some advertise a seatbelt‑buckling feature, most do it improperly and are not crash‑tested to ensure every component is strong enough to withstand the forces of a car crash. The crash forces are far greater than many designers anticipate.

Why Pawsincar is Safer than 99% of Pet Carriers / Boosters?

Pawsincar is strictly crash-tested and certified with a 5-star safety rating. In contrast, all crash tests of dog boosters conducted by the Center for Pet Safety have failed; they are nearly impossible to pass due to their inherently unsafe design.

Why Pawsincar is Better than Other Crash-Tested Carriers?

In comparison to other crash-tested carriers, Pawsincar products are typically more user-friendly & comfortable for both pets and their owners, as we are generally more roomy, lighter, and practically designed for daily use. We are also much CHEAPER.

Are Hard Materials, Such as Plastic Cages, Stronger and Safer?

No, extensive lab testing shows that plastic cages are easier to break, and hard surfaces can injure the dog if they crash into them. This is why we design our carriers with soft materials, despite some people mistakenly perceiving them as “filmy.”

✅【CRASH-TESTED FOR SAFE CAR TRAVEL】: Our small dog car seat or pet carrier has been independently crash-tested in the USA by the Center for Pet Safety (CPS) and certified with a 5-star safety rating for withstanding a crash force of at least 360lbs (Test with the U.S. child restraint system standard FMVSS 213b). This makes us much safer than most dog car seats for small dogs on the market. Most importantly. Please don’t be misled by the 99% of dog booster car seat and dog seat belt for car that are not crash-tested; while they may claim to keep your pet “safe,” their only real function is containment. Our puppy car seat is engineered to actually safeguard your pet’s life during a car crash.
✅【AIRLINE APPROVED】: Our airline approved dog carrier is 17″ x 11″ x 11″ and is FAA & TSA‑approved for in‑cabin pet travel on most airlines, such as Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and American Airlines (which allow a maximum size of 18 x 11 x 11 for cat carriers). Apart from them, Our dog airplane carrier is designed with a unique mesh pocket for pet owners to insert a portable fan to increase airflow during long flights, and you can expand this pet carrier airline approved under the seat to create more room for your doggies and kittens.
✅【EXPANDABLE】: This small dog carrier can be easily expanded in the front to become an expandable pet carrier that provides extra space for your pets. It is thoughtfully designed so that the expandable feature adds almost no weight to the pet carrier for cat . Also, this cat bag looks and performs the same as a normal puppy carrier or dog bag or pet car seat if you don’t expand it, so you can keep it as a bonus even if you seldom need the extra space.
✅【HUGE VENTILATION】: This soft cat carrier is designed with ample ventilation from 4 sides, making it super comfortable & safe for your pet to stay inside during long car trips (crash-tested car seat for dogs) or flights (tsa approved dog carrier under seat) . Its mesh/ventilation area is one of the largest among other cat travel carrier. With the expandable feature, ventilation increases from 4 to all 5 sides. Additionally, we can add a portable fan in one of our mesh-designed pockets to enhance airflow and reduce heat in hot weather.
✅【HUGE POCKET SPACE】: This soft sided cat carrier offers one of the largest pocket storage options among other cat bag carrier and can accommodate a lot of cat travel accessories & dog travel accessories. Our kitten carrier is equipped with 4 pockets: one large zippered pocket for carrying bigger items, one small zippered pocket for essentials like a wallet, one fan-friendly mesh pocket for placing a portable fan, and one wide side pocket for other pet supplies. To compare, our pocket space provides almost 50% more space than other pet carrier for dogs.
