Did LOTS of research online for dog carriers and there is a lot of garbage out there. This company seems to have the best made products. For my 2 year Norwich Terrier, Teddy, who weighs 16 lbs, this is the answer. Was searching for something for Winter hikes in the woods when the snow is too deep for his stubby little legs and great for our other dog. The sling carrier is an arm/neck killer for a dog his weight for any length of time which we also have. And the kangaroo pouch is just too open and pulled forward for his weight as well. Had read the other reviews prior to buying and definitely think this is dog specific. Teddy just so happens to enjoy being held in this position so it is somewhat natural for him. In truth, have not hiked with him in it yet, but when I put him in it and walked around the house and then asked my husband what he looked like...he was sleeping:) So I don't think a problem especially if the choice is deep snow!

Addendum: January 22, 2013. Finally got to try out and am really satisfied. It definitely takes some negotiating finding his stubby little legs but once he's in he does not complain! It is the most comfortable carrying position I've come across. We hiked in the woods in the snow for a while and then when it was too much for him I picked him up and maneuvered him into the carrier. I think it will get easier as we both get more used to it. I think dogs with spindly long legs may not like and would get cold as well.

I bought this to use on my weekend walks and hikes with my 13 lb Shih Tzu mix rescue dog. I read all of the reviews and decided to try it anyway figuring it was better than carrying him in my arms. I used it around the house a few times to make sure my dog was comfortable with it and all went well. I like all of the adjustable tabs on both sides of the pack and the padded shoulder straps were great. I just returned from a hiking trip with my husband and dog in the PA mountains. I used the pack during a 1/2 day hike and it worked great. My dog was comfortable and so was I even with the dog pack and a backpack. I had several people stop us on the trail to check out my dog and the pack. Everyone thought I had a baby until they looked closer and saw it was my dog. One little boy even asked me "Why are you wearing a dog?" This pack with make it possible for me and my husband to include our dog in all of our outdoor activities without worrying about him getting tired. I did use the chest strap from my backpack to run through my dogs harness to keep him extra secure because he did flop forward a bit in the pack. All in all I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend this pack to anyone who wants to take a small dog out for an adventure.

I thought this would be awesome. first one arrived and one of the straps was unstitched from the body of the bag. Sent it back immediately. They were great in getting me a new one but the second was loose in the same spot as the first. I don't think the construction is of very high quality. Very disappointed as I had hoped this would be a great purchase. Won't be buying from Kyjen again. Sad face.

Previously, I said "The upper part of the carrier does not lay close to my chest." I now solved the problem. I clip her harness to the part of the carrier that is on my chest. So the upper part now DOES lay close to my chest and DOES feel secure. My Morky enjoyed her bike trip !

I ordered this and checked the measurements. My 11 pound Shih Tzu Maltese mix does not fit properly. He is too long, the holes for the legs are horribly positioned and it is poorly designed overall. His front legs don't even remotely line up with where the holes are so I have to loosen them until the point of having them on is defeated. The holes at the bottom for his back legs are spaced awkwardly and it is a huge hassle to get his legs into them. There are no straps that run across the middle of the carrier which causes the dog to fall forward and gives the sensation of him constantly on the verge of falling out (that combined with his body being 6 inches away from mine gives him no security). Someone else mentioned their dog falling forward in a review so I tried putting a small rolled up shirt in front of him to make him flush with my body. Unfortunately it didn't work. So, in conclusion I strongly suggest that you do not purchase this product. I would return it if I could. Overall... I would never suggest this carrier.
