I've got numerous carriers and use them for different purposes. One is for airline travel (Carry Den $129), another purse style that is big enough for both kids (J.Crew) and several others that are purse style and big enough for one. They cost anywhere between $20 and $100.

I like carriers that have outside pockets to keep my things (cell phone, credit cards, keys) When shopping I don't like to have to carry a purse and carrier.

I have different ones on my website.......I absolutely love the hotdog bags (I have 2 and use them the most). The Kwigy Bo's are adorable and I also have 2 Sherpa bags. I think the fluffs enjoy the hotdog bags the most because they can stick their heads out and watch whats going on.

I have a Juicy for my girls which I love. It looks like a purse and has a separate compartment for my things. I can carry it anywhere because most people don't even realize that a dog is in there.

Some people don't like the Juicy carriers because they think that they are too heavy but I don't think that it is. I think you have to try one out for yourself and see if you like them. Here is a pic of Lily in her Juicy. She loves it!

I just got a Nicole Miller bag at Petco!! It's great because it's a taupe color but with softer sides so it's easier to carry. It was around $60.

Things that I thought about: Where do I want to go? Can his little head be sticking out, or does he need to be more enclosed? Is he a jumper or will he stay in? (Make sure that there is a leash attachment inside!!) Do I need lots of pockets to avoid carrying two bags or will simplier work? How heavy should it be BEFORE I put my baby in (or how long do I have to lug it?)

Good luck! The perfect dog carrier is a real challenge!

I absolutely love my Alex Bag! It is perfect for me and my pup. It allows him to see out and have room to move.....and it allows me to pack my wallet, keys, cell phone. I have it in black and highly recommend it.

If I remember correctly, it was close to $200.

I have the Kwigy-bo Alyson bag. I like it because it doesn't look like a dog carrier. It also has two outside pockets so I can fit my wallet and keys.
