First Class Legroom

Sleepypod Air provides the largest amount of space for in-cabin air travel. An innovative design enables it to contract in size to fit in the space below a range of airline seats during the restricted times of takeoff and landing. Once the plane is in the air, it can be expanded to give a pet extra space to stretch out. pet the largest possible space below an airline seat.

For added versatility, Sleepypod Air can be used as a car seat. In the event of a collision or hard stop, Sleepypod Air's PPRS technology prevents a pet from being ejected while helping to reduce the damaging forces on the pet. Rigorous testing includes the same dynamic crash testing that ensures the performance of child safety restraints. It was tested at U.S., Canadian, and E.U. child safety standards.

Independently tested and certified by the Center for Pet Safety for pets up to 18 pounds. Pets differ in size and shape, just like humans. Check Sleepypod's sizing guide for more information.

Ultra Plush bedding ensures a cozy pet den at home and on the road. Use Sleepypod Air as a cozy 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.

Eligible for replacement through Sleepypod's Crash Replacement Program.

FAQ

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
