These are the type of carriers I use with Chloe becuase she isnt a big fan of the purse carriers and my favorite that I use anytime I take her anywhere is the Black New York Dog front carrier:

Ive used many different brands of front carriers and so far that one is the sturdiest and the most confortable for both me and Chloe. It also has a front zipper pocket which comes in handy and the leash clip. I also like that it has ful mesh on the sides.
