I pet carrier is simply great;  it's extremely sturdy,and the price was right.  My only problem is that I have five Pomchis, and only one understands the concept of me doing the walking while dog sits an enjoys the scenery instead of walking with a leash.  It's been hilarious trying to teach the four who do not like change, so Bella will receive all the benefits of the Escort carrier until the others catch-on.  Also, the versatility of the carrier is amazing.  I actually roll them around the house for practice!
