| Kwigy Bo sizes I'm gonna get one of the kwigy bo carriers the "Alex Luxe" to be specific, but i'm not sure on sizes. Does anyone own either a large or small kwigy bo, Lexie will be around 4-4 1/2lbs full grown and wondering if the small would be too small for her once she grows up. thanks |

| I don't think so. I have the kwigy bo alex (small) and Teddy is 5.5lbs and its a good size for him...unfortunately I think he's going to outgrow it pretty quickly (he's going to be about 10lbs full grown) |

| I'm glad you're asking. I've been considering getting one for Lizzy and she is about six and a half pounds.

| I have been going back and forth for a year- and finally took the plunge and got the Alex- I ordered the small and it is perfect- not too large to carry around and fits either my 4.5 pounder or my 5.5 pounder perfect.

| OK ok i'm sold!, she was napping so was fussy about taking her measurements but shes about 12-13 inch from nose to tail, and i'm guessing their heads usually stay out anyway |

| That depends where you are- most of the time when I use a carrier- mine need to be totally inside and zipped up because either I am sneaking them in shhh... or on some form of transportation like the train or airplane and then they need to be totally enclosed. But most likely your dog will not stretch out in a bag of any kind- they will curl up in a little ball and use as little of the bag as possible

| I own two large KB Alex bags and carry both my babies in it together. It is rather large, but I get away with taking them everywhere. They fit in there quite snugly, but they are usually not in there for long. I definitely think a small is the perfect size for one furbaby.

| I have the small Alex for Bailee. He is about 5 1/2 lbs and it is just the right size for him. I have been using it since he was 3 months. He loves it. I usually keep one end open and he looks out through the opening. I always keep it zipped because I too 'sneak' him into stores.

| I wouldn't go based on weight alone. I would go based on your babies measurements. Kaji is 1 ft tall from floor to the tip of his head, and he is 1 ft from base of neck to base of tail. I would wait until your baby is full grown before making a purchase. The bags are pretty pricey, and your baby hasn't reach full growth yet. She may be 4 lbs, she may be 7. While pricey, I think the bags are so worth it. I use mine A LOT, so it was worth the investment.

Anyway, Kaji was 6 lbs at a year old and is now 7 at 2 yrs. He's definitely done growing and filling out. In fact, he got too chunky. The weight limit for the bag is 10 lbs, and at his heaviest Kaji weighed almost 9. He's back to 7 and we've been using the same Alex bag since last Nov. How I would LOVE to have the black Alex Luxe. I just can't justify the purchase at this time.
