| Need help deciding Kwigy-Bo size to get I am seriously considering getting a Kwigy-Bo carrier. I have looked and searched and I guess Kwigy-Bo is the way to go. I'm just unsure about the size. Gracie is 5 pounds and 11" from base of neck to tail. She is 9" at the shoulder. I don't want her to feel stuffed inside a bag and I just want her to be comfortable. I'm not very tall, 5'3", and would like a bag I can put over my shoulder comfortably. Gracie's comfort is the most important though. Do you think a small would fit her? It says 5" wide and that seems kind of narrow. Input would be greatly appreciated. |

| I have the small brown Alex and love it for the most part. Sugar Baby is 3.5 pounds and fits in very nicely. Lil Sis's Remy is 5 pounds and also uses the exact same bag with plenty of room. I am 5'2 and when I carry this KB it looks like an average to medium large size purse. Everyone is always shocked when Sugar pops out of it

| I have the small Alex. Rosie is 5 1/2 lb and fits just fine in the small. They look just like a purse. I take Rosie to places all the time!

| I have the large size Alex bag and I feel like she fits in it well. My baby is 4 pounds, but I feel like a small wouldn't fit her. I don't know if maybe I was sent the wrong size, but I honestly don't see how some people manage to fit 2 babies in the large Alex. I guess if both doggies don't lay down, 2 would fit well in the bag. I am 5'5" and the large is a perfect size. My baby prefers the Alex design to the London. The London is a little taller and I think that's what makes her hate it; she can't poke her head out as well. Good luck in your bag search. It is honestly the best carrier I have ever owned and the best at sneaking in your baby.

| i got the Large Alex luxe and i think its a perfect size . i have had just Peyton in it. she is around 5 1/2 pounds. and i have had my 2 Chihuahuas in it. they are litter mates and love to snuggle together so they both fit in it fine ( 5 1/2 and 9 pounds). but is heavy carrying almost 15 pounds. i could also fit my smallest Chi and Peyton in it. they are 5 /12 and 4 1/2 pounds., and that would be comfy for me and them

| I would think a small would be perfectly fine. The large is quite large... lol. Both of my pups fit snugly in the large at 5.5 pounds and 7. I don't own the small Alex, but I would think a 5 lber should fit just fine

| I'm still wondering now. I saw an actual picture of a large and it did look like the length of is quite long but I would feel bad about putting her in one that she could not move in. Wish they sold them locally. |
