Product Description
The 'Aero-Pet' Carrier by Argo is an exclusive design and the only one like it on the market, successfully combining travel shelter with style! Designed to meet strict airline pet carrier regulations, while remembering the comfort and safety needs of the pet traveler. The Aero-Pet Carrier is designed to slide conveniently beneath an airline passenger seat. The Aero-Pet features removable waterproof padding for bottom and sides, is ultra lightweight and offers two innovative carry options: quick change straps to change from narrow carry mode, to wider travel mode which offers your pet more room to relax during the flight. Owner convenience built right in! Aero-Pet also features a quick access, zip opening on top, a compact side pocket to hold travel necessities and an extra set of shoulder strap attachments to allow you quick access to reposition your pet during flight. Aero-Pet is the most progressive, airline approved pet carrier on the market. No other company in the pet industry uses the double dual layer mesh method - we do. The Aero-Pet carrier features an outside layer that is standard nylon mesh and an inner layer of heavy duty mesh screening. Why does this matter? All ARGO pet carriers have the double dual layer mesh windows on all sides. It offers exceptional ventilation for your pet, offering ultimate comfort during travel. Equally important, your pet's nails or teeth will not be able to damage or claw through the fine weaved reinforced mesh. Aero-Pet will last longer, look better and offers upscale luxury for your dog or cat.

 Good lookin' and functional pet carrier! August 5, 2008

I purchased this for our 16 year old, 9 lbs. cat to travel in cabin from JFK to LAX (6 hour flight). It was the perfect solution! Things I liked about the carrier:
-Private: the mesh on the sides is done in such a way that others can't really see the animal inside. Our 16 year old isn't a big fan of people outside of the family and because of the design of this bag no one knew there was a cat traveling inside.
-Outside pocket: Enough room for a lease and anything else small you may need.
-Overall Design: The design is great - modern and doesn't scream "I AM TRAVELING WITH A PET". Later on in our trip (we moved to China and had to switch to hardsided carrier appropriate for cargo travel) we used it as a dirty clothes carrier - nice as a duffle bag too!
Things I wished were included with the carrier:
-Handles like on a duffle: The bag comes complete with the sholder strap and two handles, but the handles must be used with two hands. It would have been easier to have handles like a duffle bag that could be grabbed with one hand.
Amazon has a great price (especially on the orange one) and with Amazon Prime shipping it came quick - good thing because we waited until the last minute to purchase.

We purchased this carrier in anticipation of flying with our cat for a long trip over the holidays. Like many other people on this and other sites, we fretted about the airline's size and weight requirements, since this carrier was an inch longer than the required size and with the cat, very close to the 20lb weight requirement for US Airways. We should not have worried as no one measured anything. It fit fine under the seat, even on a pretty small plane (Canadair Regional Jet). The inch long "violation" means it extends into your footspace an inch more than it should - worth it for the animal's comfort, since I wasn't going to be comfortable even if I did have that inch.
This carrier is well designed on a number of levels. Most importantly, the shoulder strap attaches to the carrier in two conformations so you can carry it in the pictured way (wide and low) or on its side (tall and narrow). Tall and narrow was much more maneuverable in the airport and helped us finesse the "stand up and turn around" requirement. It's very sturdy, particularly the mesh windows which appear to have a kind of wire mesh behind the black netting, which I presume makes it more claw-resistant. The two entryways (top and side) were convenient for getting the cat out for security screening, since she really didn't want to leave this carrier. I think that's partially because it's fairly snug in there (good for cats, who like to feel protected, but not for dogs, who need more space) and partially because we familiarized her with the carrier, with treats afterwards, for a few weeks beforehand. The side pocket is perfect for her payment certificate, vet certificate, and a small bag of treats, but nothing larger.
In short, this carrier is spendy, but it's a Cadillac. It was such a good experience that I will probably travel with her again the next time I go to a cat friendly location.
I love it and my dog loves it too December 30, 2007

I got it in the small size and color orange. I use it to travel from Houston to Fort lauderdale. It worked great, even my dog is about 10" long and 14" tall, it is big enough for her to turn around...also keep in mind that the bag can be used flat or tall, so i moved it slowly for her to reposition while the bag was closed so she can stand up and stretch the legs completely during the flight. I used it everytime i go out with her...she sits inside while riding in the car (with the zipperopen). The color is not exact as shown, it is a little bit more dark (less bright).
#1 recommended pet carrier by Dr. Waltski August 13, 2008

With the durable structural design, it protects the pets from injured by squeezing or bumping into the carrier. We have never seen pet carriers with heavy duty hooks & comfortable straps. This carrier is highly recommended to those heavy air travelers with pets. Durable nylon fabric is easy to clean. Top quality soft pet carrier we have ever seen and used. We own 2 Vet in PA, and this product was first introduced by our client. We bought 2 large and 1 small for our staffs in the clinic and traveled with ferrets, rabbits, cats and dogs to NY, IL, and TX without any problem. Large top opening for loading is the best way for this carrier. Multi-windows give ventilation from different directions unlike other pet carriers. Double layer mesh windows prevent nails hook on holes of mesh, yet the air floatation is never an issue. Suggestions to new pet owners from us: Make sure the mesh windows are allowing enough ventilation through carriers from different directions. It is very important because some flight attendants will ask you to keep your pets inside the carrier all time during the flight. We used to recommend Sherpa to our visitors, but not any more after we used ARGO carriers. Size issues with other carriers: It will not meeting airline requirements if the carrier is larger. If you get a larger carrier and trying to squeeze into the limited space under the seat, you will injure the pet. Common sense: The room will become smaller than a carrier fits perfectly underneath the seat without squeezing. Conclusion: We give this carrier 5+ stars and 2 paws up to ARGO Aero-Pet Airline Pet Carriers!
Worth the money! May 18, 2009

This carrier is among the most expensive, but you get what you pay for. It's large enough for my 15 pound cat, comfortable to carry through the airport, and didn't fall apart. It allows privacy for your pet, as the cat can see out the mesh panels, but passers by can't see in. All told, I would reccomend this product to anyone, especially if their pet is larger or more active.
