Sleepypod Air

Sleepypod Air reduces in size to fit under the airline seat for takeoff and landing. Once the plane is in the air and the seat belt lights are turned off, Sleepypod Air can be expanded to allow your pet the full range of the carrier. Slide the trolley pocket on the back of the carrier onto the handle of rolling luggage for easier transportation. 

Removable and machine-washable Ultra Plush bedding ensures a comfy napping cave or a cozy pet bed away from home.

Mesh panels on three sides provide ample airflow and visibility for the pet.

For added versatility, buckles on the front and back secure carrier using the seat belt in the rear seat of the vehicle, transforming Sleepypod Air into a crash tested car seat. Durable materials resist tearing and staining.

Is it suitable for airline travel?
Yes, Sleepypod Air is suitable for in-cabin use on most airlines. Since each airline and airplane is a little different, Sleepypod always recommends contacting the airline prior to travel, just to make sure all pet restrictions and requirements are met.

How do I reduce the size?
Sides fold up on either end while the top presses down. Please note that Sleepypod Air does not hold the reduced shape in a freestanding position. It is designed to release from the reduced size unless restricted by the space available so your pet can enjoy as much space as possible.

Can Sleepypod Air be used in the front seat?
Sleepypod recommends buckling your pet into the rear seat, just like you would a child under 95 pounds, to better ensure safety.

Can more than one pet use the carrier at a time?
Pets can share the carrier at home, but Sleepypod cannot recommend more than one pet per carrier during travel due to the number of variables involved. Please note that it might reduce safety.

When do I use the safety tether?
Sleepypod recommends using the safety tether only during public transit to keep your pet from escaping the carrier. The safety tether feature should not be used for car travel.

Is it necessary to replace your pet’s safety restraint after a car accident?
Just like a human seatbelt in a car accident, the material will stretch. Just a little bit of extra slack can reduce its effectiveness. Watch this Pet Travel Experts video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tS0LRNWwcc
