| Do you have one of those carriers for your chest? You know...the ones that you strap on your chest like a child? How does your baby react in them and where did you getit from?

| yes we have one. We like to use it when we go for walks and it is too cold out for her.... we heat up her disk and put it in but i usually use it on my back just because it is easier to carry her that way. we got ours at petsmart. |

| We bought two. One medium and one small and have never used them. We got the ones they actually sit in without dangleing the legs. They are very nice and when we start walking around the swap meets, farmers markets, "trendy" little towns, and so on, we will have these with us. We too plan on doing a lot of RVing soon and a trip to Spain. |

| I have one for Slade, his is the type w/o leg holes in it. He really likes his and I like carrying him in it. We got ours from a YT member that was selling it.

| I have both kinds. The one with the legs holes in it...my husband hates. Murfee rides ok in it but don't know how much he likes it. I like the other better. I think he is more comfortable in it.

| I got one years ago, but only used it a couple of times. I found it to be hard on my back. It's like being pregnant. Mine is the one by Outward Hound and is a pouch where they are totally enclosed. A vet tech on another forum warned that the one where their legs hang out could be harmful to their backs. |

| I think the ones where the legs are sticking out look very UNcomfortable for the poor little ones. The ones where it is enclosed (where they can sit or lay) looks like it would be more comfy for both the dog and the human!

| I have one and I love it, its actually the carrier that my yorkie likes the best because she loves being able to see and I think to her it feels like being held which she loves. Plus it keeps my hands free to do stuff which is nice.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | I once had the once with the legs out but Bengi was very unconfortable in it, and he's 5.5 too; I wouldn't recommend it. I wanna get one where he can sit inside, frontpack or backpack. |

| I have the front pet backpack that Cosmo can sit in or lay down. He LOVES it and I feel his safer than walking when we attend outside events like the local farmers market, craft fair, oh and camping! My daughter and I also ride bikes alot and he loves to be in the bag, plus I will put his heat disk or a small fleece blanket when needed. He is 5.9 lbs and I have the medium backpack. We originally bought the one with his leg out and he did not like it all, plus he looked really funny! The pet store let us return it

| I want to get one for Parker. I want one without the leg holes. Looked at Petsmart yesterday, but the only ones they had were pink trimmed.
