| Need feedback from Kwigy Bo Carrier Users:) Hi Everyone!! I hope people see this thread in this section. I have ordered the Kwigy Bo Alex Small in Gunmetal Snake (newer color) and I am so EXCITED!!!!! I have some questions for those of you who have them and am hoping you can help. Was going for the Camo Alexa but it only comes in large and Snick is only 4lbs (on a good day) and saw the large in person and it would be too huge for him. -How do you like it? -Is there anything you don't like about it? -Did you pup stay quiet in it the 1st time you took him/her out? -Does anyone put a blanket or anything else in the carrier to make them more comfy? -Can your pup stick it's head out if you leave the top zipper unzipped a litte? -Has your carrier ever collapsed? -Has your pup ever tried to jump out? -Has "hiding' your pup in the carrier been successful and have you ever gotten caught?? -Does you pup ever become restless and antsy in the bag? THANK YOU EVERYONE...I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! Smiles- Snick & Viv

| I have the gold one, I got the large but Jamie is a little over 7 lbs. She is really very active (she is just 7 months) and I was worried she wouldn't stay put, but she loves the bag. Yesterday we went to the Christmas tree store and i put her in the bag inthe front part of the shopping cart. You didn't hear a peep out of her. I was in there a long time-maybe 90 minutes. For places where she is allowed, I let her head pop out through the top. However, I needed to secure the zipper in place in order to do this since she pushes and the whole zipper than becomes open. I have found a very low tech solition-I tied a twist tie to the zipper pull and then I secure it to one of the handles. It works like a charm. The bag is a little big so if Jamie was smaller, I would have gotten the smaller one since I am quite petite. However, people always think it is a purse and no one ever guesses that it is a dog carrier unless her head is out. I also like that it has so many pockets so I don't need to carry another purse. I haven't put any blankets or toys in yet but I think that is a good idea. |

| I have the Alex in small and I absolutely love it! Kaji is about 7 lbs, and he curls up into a little ball on one end of the bag. That usually makes it a little uncomfortable to carry because all the weight is on one end of the bag. I put a blankie in there with him when I know it's cold outside just to make him more comfortable. Kaji is naturally quiet so he never makes a peep, but I still try hard not to keep him in the bag for too long (I don't think it's fair).

| Just remember that even at 4 lbs, if he sits at one of the bag like Kaji does, he can make you feel like he is falling out, even when secured in there! At least I know he's relaxed in there. Funny thing is, when I tried to take pics for others to see, he stretched out so it looks like he doesn't fit, when he does! They're in my album if you want to take a look.

| Very good point...the other carriers I used once in a while were the type that has the corner cut out so the pup could automatically stick their head out. Hope that Snick does not favor 1 side of the bag to the other. I just can't wait to ger the bag!!! Thanks! Snick & Viv

| I have a large Alex and only used it one time flying from Indy to VA b/c I have two yorkies and they outgrew it. One is now 10lbs and the other is 5lbs. But I love the bag. It was very good for traveling and they behaved pretty well. I practice putting them in the bag at home and keeping them quiet so they will be quiet on the plane. They usually do pretty well. I don't usually put anything in the bag with them. |

| Thank you so much!! It's so great to know that you took it on the plane and they accepted it. KB says "approved for MOST airlines" and I hadn't read about anyone actually taking on a plane, so THANKS Snick & Viv

| I too have the large Alex bag and love it. I have two 3lb babies that I use it for and they don't mind it at all. I put a blanket and some chew toys in there with them and their very cozy in their bag. I love the pockets for all my junk which is perfect I don't have to take my pocketbook with me and carry two bags. Enjoy your new bag.

| Well then in that case, Kaji flew from LAX to Memphis and back with no problems. They didn't know he was there! He's gone to the movies, grocery stores, restaurants (when out of town), snuck into a hotel, and anywhere else you can think of. If you're baby is well behaved the possibilities are endless. I love taking him to the movies, after it gets dark I just pull him out of the bag, sit him on my lap with the blankie and he watches the movie. NO JOKE! He sits there watching the screen until it's time to go.
