Customers are mixed about the straps of the pet carrier. Some like that the strap makes an X, and can be worn different ways. They also appreciate the crossover back straps and waist strap, which mean that the weight is minimized. However, other customers say that the shoulder straps slide down off their shoulders. They feel the strap is not placed correctly for the dog to sit flat, and that the tightness of the strap cuts into their shoulders when they try to get it semi level.

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the pet carrier.

5 Stars
It's a HIT!
Just got our "Outward Hound PupPak" and it's a hit! Our 3 1/2 month of Pekingese (Ripley) is really loving it! He is still too small for a harness so we are being very careful still holding him but before you know it he will be a bit bigger and fully secure. Can't wait to do some "Wine Tasting / Events" and just love the hands free part and how comfy the bottom is super soft and tons of mesh for airflow. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sturdy, cute, but has it's limitations
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2016
I am a prime member, and I thought this would be fun to take a long on our family vacation next week because we are bringing our dog.
I will start by saying that this carrier is most certainly for smaller dogs. I purchased a size medium, and my dog is 12 pounds and she is very slender and tall. I would say that if your dog also is tall I would not recommend this carrier because it is wide and short. When my dog stands up a good part of her body sticks out of the top. She can fit in it much better when she laying down. My dog is very cuddly and enjoys being with me at all times. She loves it so far, but I have not had her in it for anytime longer than an hour.

It is made very well, and I like the design of the straps. There are 2 straps like a backpack would have, one strap that goes around your stomach.
This carrier was surprisingly sturdy. It has a flat bottom, and if the straps are tightened properly the carrier will not wobble or move too much. There is a hook inside the carrier that you can hook onto your dog's collar or harness to keep them from jumping out. There is a draw string at the top of the bag that can be tighten to secure your dog at the top. Without the draw strings being tightened there isn't anything other than the hook attached to your dogs collar stopping the dog from jumping out. There is not much cushion to the carrier, so I do not believe that the carrier is supposed to be used for long periods of time. If your dog is small enough there may be room to add a blanket or towel too add some comfort.

I really like the color of the blue carrier, it is much more pretty that the color blue that is in the picture. The carrier is blue and gray where in the picture it is black and gray. The little pockets are great for treats or poop bags.

Overall, I think this is a great little carrier that can be used for shorter amounts of time. It is a great price. My dog loves this carrier because she isn't "zipped in." It is very open, so she does not feel like she is being put in a crate. If you have a dog that LIKES being in close quarters with you and likes to be carried, I would recommend this. I think a carrier working out for your pet definitely depends on your pets personality.

So I would recommend this if: you have a small dog (around 10lbs or less and has shorter legs), if your dog likes to be carried and to be close to you, if you don't plan on using this for several hours at a time, and if you are okay with it having an open top (as in if you leaned over, your dog could jump or fall out of it).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bag, comfortable to carry for dog and human
Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2017
Love this bag. I looked at a lot of reviews and then ordered another bag (Petsfit Adjustable 13lbs and under bag) and ended up returning it and going with this one. The bag is smartly designed with straps placed for an easy carry. It is not very strongly structured, so the bag does slouch with the pooch in it, but it's not a big deal for my 7lb Maltese (long torso, short legs). She just curls up or pokes her nose out the top and seems pretty relaxed. I would not be able to close the top unless she were lying down in it, and even then it would be tight, but the medium is otherwise the perfect size for her to be able to stick her nose out the top and carry comfortably for both of us. I wouldn't have chosen a different size.

Pros:
Side vents! This was a requirement for me as I want to take her on hikes and be able to breathe in any heat.
Adjustable shoulder straps - these can be unclipped and crossed for an easier carry or clipped in the traditional arrangement.
Waist strap - not super strong but does help a bit and is well placed, even for my longer torso.
Front pocket - room for a few treats.
Comfortable to wear for dog and human.
Great price!

Cons:
No side pockets for water bottles or larger items (not a deal breaker)
Not structured enough to hold the dog even, but I prefer the softer arrangement as too much structure makes it awkward to carry.
The leash clip is a bit short, it would have been nice to have it a bit longer to make it easier for her to curl up on the bottom. However, it is otherwise a very sturdy clip that doesn't look like it would break if she jumped.
Some signs of poor construction, with strings hanging out, etc. that make me concerned for longevity.

Overall very happy with the bag and eager to get on the trail!

Reviewed in Mexico on September 4, 2022
Me encantó... tengo un yorkie de 1.500 kg, cabe perfectamente y hasta le sobra espacio, se siente cómodo y seguro los tirantes cruzados, un plus es una correa pequeña que tiene en el interior para poder agarrarla de su arnés para mayor seguridad en caso de que quisiera salirse

Lo recomiendo ampliamente ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

EDIT: volví a comprar otra cangurera de otro modelo (la que no trae bolsa al frente) la pedí talla chica y es más grande que la otra, mis dos yorkies caben juntas sentadas, por su lo quieren tomar en cuenta, viene más amplia que la que trae bolsa enfrente

Las dos las sigo recomendando
