pidipiti Soft-Sided Pet Carrier, 17 x 13 x 8 in, Expandable Mesh Top

Pidipiti’s 17 x 13 x 8 in (43.18 x 33.02 x 20.32 cm) soft-sided pet carrier is made for carrying one extra-small dog or small cat, with a low profile designed for Frontier and Allegiant cabin travel.

• Fits pets up to 16 in (40.64 cm) long and 5 lb (2.27 kg) — compare your pet’s length first, as length matters more than weight.
• Three-inch (7.62 cm) expandable top with mesh on five sides — adds headroom and airflow when the carrier is out from under the seat.
• Two side metal frames and a hard wood base pad — help the carrier hold its shape and support the bottom.
• Double zipper locks, anti-scratch mesh and an internal tether — help keep your pet contained during travel.
• Adjustable shoulder strap, two zippered storage pockets and washable bottom padding — support carrying and short trips.

For a small pet, choosing a carrier means balancing cabin dimensions with room for the animal. Pidipiti is made for one extra-small dog or small cat on airline journeys, as well as short car rides such as a visit to the vet. Its low 8-inch height is useful for the stated Frontier and Allegiant under-seat requirements, while the expandable top provides extra space when it is not under a seat.

Will my pet fit inside the Pidipiti carrier?

It is sized for one pet shorter than 16 inches and weighing up to 5 pounds. Measure your pet’s body length before choosing; length is the key fit check, and the low carrier height means it is not intended for an oversized pet.

• Suitable for one extra-small dog or one small cat.
• The side frames have only slight flexibility and cannot be bent down substantially to reduce the carrier’s height.

Which airlines is this carrier designed to fit?

Its dimensions match the stated 18 x 14 x 8 in (45.72 x 35.56 x 20.32 cm) under-seat size requirement for Frontier and Allegiant. It is also identified as approved for Southwest and Spirit, although a 9-inch-height carrier is noted as a better choice for those airlines.

• It is not approved for Delta, United, American or Alaska because its 13-inch width exceeds their stated allowance.
• It can also be used with other airlines where the under-seat space accommodates an 8-inch-high carrier.

How does the expandable top and carrier work?

Fold the top down when placing the carrier under a cabin seat, then extend it by 3 inches to give your pet more room at other times. Mesh across five sides of the expanded top supports airflow and a view in every direction.

• A tether inside the carrier helps prevent your pet from escaping.
• The bottom padding is washable; an adjustable shoulder strap makes the carrier easier to carry.
• Two zippered pockets hold small travel items for your pet.

Pidipiti suits travelers carrying a pet within the stated length and weight limits, especially those planning Frontier or Allegiant cabin travel or short car trips. A one-year product-quality warranty covers the zippers, buckles, hooks and fabric. Getting your pet accustomed to the carrier before travel is recommended; its 8-inch height and defined pet-size limits make it a fit for extra-small pets rather than larger animals.
