Cat Carriers..

I'd look at the suggest carriers, but make sure the handle would be comfortable to hold! I got one with a thin, metal handle and it HURTS when trying to carry a 16lb cat inside! lol
His last one was the aforementioned with the top AND side door but he was just too heavy and the top was NOT safe for him any longer to carry. We had to carry it in awkward ways to make up for that and so that was crap.
Being a long kitty and weighing more than little housecats I had to go bigger.
I use the petmate kennel cab now - the intermediate size fits my boy quite well and he is a big boy.
The handles and clips are sturdy and I put the zip ties on the clips
IT ALSO has a seatbelt thingy on it and little compartments to carry things.
Kis loves it - I have photos and videos of him playing in it - it is plenty big enough for him to stand up, turn around, play, lay, etc. (He often lays in it on his own - he loves his kennel)

Has anyone had experience w/ "sleepypods"?
Since I haven't heard of this product, I Googled it - here's the link: http://sleepypod.com/sleepypod
doesn't look like it would work for us, though.
Costly, too.

They look so cozy.
That looks so comfy!
I ordered one! We'll see how it works out...i'll probably post a pic just in case someone else would like to see how it works.
I have one... I won it in a contest. It is pretty nice, one of the best features is you can fully unzip the top part, and use it as a bed or just unzip it in order to easily get the pet out of the carrier (I do this at the vet sometimes.)
The main down side is the size, I have the larger size but it's still a bit small for some of my larger cats. One other thing that I don't like so much is that due to it being round and I guess the locations of the straps, if I carry it over my shoulder it rolls around a lot when I walk and it always wants to tip sideways.
Here are some photos:
(That's my Maine Coon Roxy, you can kinda see the size is a bit small for her.)
I'm not so sure about that... Check this out:

Cute pics
I like the colors of it, too. I ordered the black one.
I'm interested to see how it works for me. I expect it to move around a little like you mentioned because it is round. I liked the crash testing tho. It's nice to know that it's safe for car travel.
