Backpack carrier, advice needed  Reply with quote  

A while ago I ordered two carrier backpacks but they're kind of heavy..

Now I've seen these:
Backpack from celltei

En the one from flyingsouth

I was wondering if anyone had experience with one of them?

Why do you think it looks better? Do you also think it's handier? Smile

Laughing No I just think it's prettier Embarassed The first one looks like it would be more comfortable to wear on your back.

I don't know Sue, I've never used one (wish hubby would buy one for me!), so I can't really say.
The second one looks roomier for Zazu, but yet the first one looks handier for you. At least from what I can see of them.

Thanks for your input Cathy..
Aren't you afraid Zazu will chew the interior if you look at the first one?

Do you mean chew a hole thru the mesh? That could very well be. That mesh would probably make it more comfy for you, but the other would probably be more practical for Zazu.

Sue, how come you want to buy a new carrier? Are the wingabagos inconvenient to carry around? Cuz I was planning on buying a wingabago. I think Bunny would be less stressed when travelling if she could see outside. Question

okay so I know little to NOTHING about backpack carriers but the first one looks cooler and more comfy for him and you! and it looks like it has compartments on the sides to hold stuff? The second one looks kinda more sturdy to me (wire grate rather than mesh, canvas rather than nylon) and I think it's kinda cool cuz it looks like you can cover all 4 sides if you needed/wanted to for any reason? Anyway, thats how I see it-don't know if it helps!

Hmmm they're quite inconvenient to carry around. If you want to travel quickly! If you have a car, then it would be ok.. Smile

Thanks for your insight in this! Smile I thought the second one looks kind of sturdy to me too! But it's kind of big I think?

Would be get a hold of the mesh? I mean, wouldn't it be too slippery for him to get a hold of it?

I don't know Sue ...
I know Manu would work & work & work at it until he had the whole thing chewed up Rolling Eyes ! But I don't know if Zazu could.

Perhaps Manu & Zazu are partners in crime? Laughing
