The Sleepypod Air is a versatile, all-in-one travel solution for pets on the go. It’s the largest carrier approved for in-cabin air travel, doubles as a crash-tested car seat, and transforms into a comfortable pet bed wherever your journey takes you. Travel is effortless with multiple carrying options: slide it over your wheeled suitcase handle or use the padded shoulder strap for hands-free convenience. Designed with anxious travelers in mind, the privacy panel helps create a calm, secure environment, while the machine-washable bedding makes clean-up quick and easy for you. The latest Air design includes a fourth ventilation window, enhancing airflow and visibility while ensuring full compliance with international airline requirements.
And just like its award-winning predecessor, the innovative design provides the largest amount of space for in-cabin air travel, contracting in size to fit uniquely underneath a range of airline seats. When on the road, in the event of a collision or sudden stop, its PPRS technology prevents a pet from being ejected, while also helping to reduce the damaging forces on the pet. Rigorous testing includes dynamic crash-testing that reflects the standards for child safety restraints. Watch the crash tests:
Sleepypod Air has been independently crash-tested and certified with a top safety rating for pets weighing up to 18 pounds by the Center for Pet Safety. Pets differ in size and shape, just like humans. Check Sleepypod’s sizing guide for more information.
A multifunctional design means fewer things to carry during travels, with the benefit of reducing stress for you and your pet. Ultra Plush bedding ensures a cozy, familiar space during travels. Use Sleepypod Air as a napping space before transitioning to a carrier, car seat, or pet bed away from home. Your pet will travel with less fear and anxiety because it will be traveling in a familiar space.
