For most indoor cats, having to leave the house is stressful, whether it’s having to go to the vet, having to move, or having to get on a plane. For most cat parents, just the thought of having to take their cat anywhere provokes anxiety, but sometimes, it’s unavoidable.
Choosing the right carrier is one of the key components of preparation. Today, we’re highlighting what I consider one of the best and most versatile carriers, the Sleepypod Air. Designed for air travel, this innovative carrier doesn’t just make flying less stressful for your cat, it’s also a fantastic carrier for any trip.
Sleepypod Air features
- Compresses to suit a variety of space restrictions.
- Hook and Loop closures secure lid opening for use as a cat bed or cozy napping cave at home.
- Double zipper for top or side entry, making it a great choice for vet visits.
- Durable rip-stop mesh resists chewing and clawing.
- Mesh panels enable ample airflow and facilitate visibility on three sides.
- Folds flat for easy storage
- Trolley pocket secures the carrier onto rolling luggage handles for convenient transport.
- Large zipper pockets on front and back for pet travel essentials.
- The removable Ultra Plush bedding is machine washable.
- Luggage grade exterior.
- Water repellent interior liner.
- A removable panel provides shade, privacy, and protection from air vents or weather.
- Safety tether eliminates quick pet escapes in public transit.
- Adjustable shoulder strap with comfort padding and padded carry handle.
- Ergonomic zipper pulls.
- Included instruction card conveys dimensions for TSA or other airport/airline personnel.
- Compatible with optional Warmer Kit and Assisi Loop Lounge™ therapy pad for Sleepypod Air.
Expandable for added comfort
The Sleepypod Air is adjustable so it can fit under the seat in front of you for takeoff and landing. Once the plane is in the air and the seat belt lights are turned off, it can be expanded to give your cat more space inside the carrier.
For car travel, buckles on the front and back secure the carrier using the seat belt in the rear seat of the vehicle, transforming the Sleepypod Air into a crash tested car seat.
Because the carrier easily unzips and opens to the top, it’s ideal for vet visits: your cat won’t even have to leave the familiar confines of the carrier during her exam.
Safety first
The Sleepypod Air maintains the same strict safety standards as all of Sleepypod’s carriers and was put through the same safety testing that continues to position Sleepypod among one of the safest pet product manufacturers on the market. Sleepypod’s entire line of carriers is voluntarily certified with the Center for Pet Safety.
We received a Sleepypod Air for review several years ago. Even though I have no intentions of flying any time soon, with our without Allegra, I keep it out in the open at all times, along with our Sleepypod Mobile Pet Bed. Allegra likes to occasionally take naps inside, which makes me happy, because I want her to associate the carrier with something positive.

I like how they make it easy to seat belt down for traveling. I struggle with other carriers when I have to take my girls to the vet. I don’t like them to be loose in case f a crash.
According to the Center for Pet Safety, the safest spot for a carrier is on the floor behind the driver’s or passenger’s seat.
I did not know this. Thank you.
