Is the carrier suitable for air travel?

Yes. The CHECK-IN carrier is designed with dimensions that fit many airline requirements. It usually fits under the seat in front of you on the plane. However, please check your airline’s specific regulations before traveling.

Can the bag be secured in the car?

Of course. The CHECK-IN is a perfect travel companion. Thanks to the practical loop on the back, you can simply thread the seat belt through it and securely fasten the bag in the car. This allows your cat to travel comfortably while you stay focused on the drive.

Does my cat get enough air inside the bag?

Yes. The integrated mesh windows provide excellent ventilation and allow your cat to observe its surroundings – which can help reduce travel stress.

Is the CHECK-IN cat carrier escape-proof?

Yes. The sturdy zippers can be additionally secured with a safety button. You can also attach your cat to the internal safety clip to prevent it from jumping out unexpectedly.

Are the buckles and rings of the CHECK-IN carrier made of plastic or metal?

All buckles and rings of our CHECK-IN are made of sturdy metal with a matte coating. This gives the carrier a premium, modern look and ensures maximum durability.

What happens if my cat has a small accident inside the bag?

No problem. The removable inlay is absorbent and can easily be cleaned in the washing machine. This keeps the bag hygienic and quickly ready for use again.

Can I store the bag in a space-saving way?

Yes. After traveling, the bag can be folded and stored in the included fabric pouch. This means it takes up very little space in your closet or luggage.

The cat carrier. The bag for jetsetters. Cat-friendly function meets minimalist design for travelling in style with your cat – ready to check in!

What we love about it:

As well as secure zips with a button fastening, there's a safety hook you can clip your cat to. That makes travelling together extra relaxed. Reflectors help you and your cat stay safe when you're out after dark. After the trip, the bag goes into its handy fabric pouch and takes up very little space.

And for all (city) backpackers, there's also a backpack for cats.

Highlights

Ideal for your cat. Mesh windows provide plenty of air to breathe and ventilate, while still leaving room to hide.
Flight-ready. The bag has the perfect dimensions for air travel and a practical trolley strap.
Super hygienic. The inlay absorbs liquid, prevents leaks and is machine washable.
Sustainability. Eco-friendly primary material made from over 85 recycled PET bottles.
Large openings. No more squeezing in - easy entry from the side and from above.

Description

The evolution of cat carrier bags – designed with cats in mind

Carrier boxes were originally designed for dogs, and the design was simply carried over to carrier bags for cats. But boxes with large windows really don't suit the needs of our house cats. Most cats like to hide from loud surroundings and curious looks. Over a year ago, we set out to develop the perfect travel bag for cats. As always, we didn't just focus on pet-friendly functionality, but also on a minimalist, modern design.

CHECK-IN – finally comfortable travel with your cat

In the bag, your cat doesn't just lie comfortably – you can carry her comfortably too. You can choose between padded carrying handles and the practical shoulder strap. Thanks to several outer pockets, everything has its place while travelling – the vaccination record, passport, favorite treats, leash, and even catnip can be stored here. Of course, your phone, keys, and more fit too. Whether it's a vet visit, a flight, a train ride, or a car trip, the bag always keeps its shape. CHECK-IN meets the requirements of most airlines and is therefore approved as hand luggage for flights. We still recommend checking with your airline beforehand, for example Lufthansa. We all know that our furry friends can sometimes get wet or even be sick during exciting trips. That's why the padded inlay is easy to clean in the washing machine. The membrane system also absorbs liquid and prevents leaks. Time to hit the road!

Die Transporttasche überzeugt optisch Katze und Mensch

Die Transporttasche überzeugt optisch durch das coole Design, die Farbe und die schöne Verarbeitung mit Details (z.B. ist der Griff in der Mitte gepolstert).

Unser Kater Loki hat sich sofort dafür interessiert und ist nach 5 Minuten schon eingezogen. Er hat trotz 5 kg genügend Platz und ist bei Reisen im Auto ganz zufrieden im neuen Zuhause.

Ich kann die Tasche nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Wunderschöne Tasche

Vielen Dank für diese tolle Tasche! Ich habe so lange ein Tasche für unseren kleinen Sonnenschein Louna gesucht.
Louna ist ein kleines Hundemödchen mit 2 kg 💕 und die Tasche ist einfach perfekt!
Super verarbeitet und eine sehr schöne Qualität!
Absolute Kaufeimpfehlung!
Wir freuen uns schon auf unsere baldige Reise mit der neuen Tasche!

Schöne Tasche

Gut verarbeitet, ausreichend groß und mit verschiedenen Zugangsmöglichkeiten hoffe ich, dass die Tasche auch der Katze gefallen und Ihren Krallen widerstehen wird.

Hallo,

vielen Dank für deine Rückmeldung – freut uns sehr, dass du mit der Verarbeitung und dem Design der CHECK-IN Tasche zufrieden bist! Wir drücken die Daumen, dass sie auch deiner Katze gefällt und standhält 😄

Liebe Grüße vom LucyBalu Team

Tolle Transporttasche 🩷

Sehr schön verarbeitet und tolle Qualität
Bin sehr begeistert und meine Katze auch :)

Hallo Lisa,

vielen Dank für dein liebes Feedback – und das Foto ist einfach zuckersüß
Es freut uns total, dass du und deine Katze so begeistert von der CHECK-IN Tasche seid. So soll’s sein!

Liebe Grüße vom LucyBalu Team

Sehr schöne Transporttasche

Die Katzentransporttasche ist einfach fantastisch!
Sie sieht nicht nur super stylisch aus, sondern ist auch äußerst praktisch. Ein Fach, in denen ich alles Wichtige wie Leckerlis oder Papiere verstauen kann. Die Kater können ebenso von den Seiten als auch von oben in die Transporttasche. Absolut empfehlenswert für jeden Katzenbesitzer, der Funktionalität und Design schätzt.
