Review: I would give this 20 stars if I could - I would give this 20 stars if I could. I've just returned another brand which was very expensive but the front 'door' had started going rusty after just a few months. This carrier is better designed, better made, sturdier, safer, better top opening mechanism and a solid top door, better side catches, better and stronger front opening mechanism, and half the price! Review: Sturdy, Secure, Quality - Sturdy, secure, easy to assemble, lightweight to carry. It’s my first time needing a carrier for my rabbits. It’s their first vet trip. I read a wonderfully helpfully review of this carrier, from somebody mentioning she liked the bolt feature (something I hadn’t considered to be a feature to look out for). She mentioned it adds extra security if the side clips fail or break. After reading reviews of other carriers, people mentioned the clips broke or the bottom fell off in transit and the animal fell out. So, it was a big reason I purchased this carrier, because the top and bottom can also be bolted with metal screws and not just rely on the plastic clips to hold them together. However, when assembling the carrier, the screw went in fine, but I struggled to attach the washer on the other end, it was fiddly, no helpful tool supplied to do it and I couldn’t tighten them fully with my fingers. In the end, I just used black cable ties instead of the screw bolts. Easier when dissembling for storage that way, just cut the ties instead of fiddling with a bunch of six screws. I’m pleased it can open from the top via the handle, or from the front cage entrance. The gate felt thick, rather than thin wire. The clasp feature to lock it felt very secure. I feel the rabbits will be safe and secure and can’t escape, God-willing! I bought the small 19” size because it won’t be used often, or for long journeys (vets is 10min drive away). My rabbit is the size of a small-medium cat/dog. He is a fully grown Lop rabbit, 18mth old (not dwarf or mini). In my opinion, This carrier will be suitable for a medium sized adult rabbit, or a small-medium cat. I don’t think it’s suitable for an animal of this size for a long journey over 30-45min long, as there isn’t too much space for stretching/sprawling out, or standing on hind legs. If the animal is returning from vet treatment and needing to lay/rest with minimal movement, then it’s ideal. It will also be fine for short journeys, if the animal has had exercise time prior to entering the carrier, they’ll likely stay still and sleep. For a long, lengthy journey, or for a larger cat/dog/rabbit etc, I’d suggest buying the bigger size option. Very happy with this purchase. The price was very good compared to some options that didn’t appear to be as good. My only regret is not buying the larger size, just incase I ever want to do a long journey with them (I should of thought that through better!) at least it will be easy for storage and also, the bottom section of the carrier can be used as a spare litter tray when not used for the carrier feature (yes, for those who don’t own rabbits, they can be litter trained like cats). ## Features - 2-door model allows for easy loading of pets - Plenty of ventilation on sides, top and back of crate - Included screws can be used to attach top and bottom for additional security, as well as quick-release latches for quick set-up - Spring-loaded from latch for smooth opening - Top door features handle and latches to open to the left or right for convenience ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00OP6SMCI | | Best Sellers Rank | 2,458 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 1 in Dog Hard-Sided Travel Carriers 1 in Cat Hard-Sided Travel Carriers | | Brand | Amazon Basics | | Brand Name | Amazon Basics | | Closure Type | Two-Door | | Colour | Blue | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | Car | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 63,522 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Extra Small | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00841710105520 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 48.3L x 32W x 25.4H centimetres | | Item Weight | 1290 Grams | | Item weight | 1290 Grams | | Manufacturer | Amazon | | Manufacturer Part Number | 6009-S-APL1 | | Material | PP, Iron | | Material Type | PP, Iron | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 4.99 kg | | Model Name | AmazonBasics Two-Door Top-Load Pet Kennel | | Model Number | 6009-S-APL | | Product Style | Two-Door | | Product dimensions | 48.3L x 32W x 25.4H centimetres | | Recommended Uses For Product | Traveling | | Size | 48.3 L x 32 B x 25.4 H cm | | Special Features | Durable | | Special feature | Durable | | Target Audience | Dog | | Target Species | Dog/Cat | | UPC | 841710105520 | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Amazon Basics - **Colour:** Blue - **Material:** PP, Iron - **Product dimensions:** 48.3L x 32W x 25.4H centimetres - **Special feature:** Durable ## Images ![Amazon Basics Hard-Sided Cat Carrier, Two-Door Top-Load Pet Dog/Cat Travel Box Carrier, Blue, 48.3 L x 32 B x 25.4 H cm - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WgHnZShvL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How strong is the fixing on the handle and how excape proof is the top opening.** A: Mine was very escape proof as I tried to open the top opening the handles on the latches fell off so can not open it **Q: Would this be suitable for two cats? Short journeys only, maximum 15 minutes. Combined weight 10kg** A: It’s probably big enough for 2 cats but only short journeys. Our cat is a big lad at 6 kilo but has more that enough room. **Q: Is this suitable for international flights¿** A: Yes! **Q: I have a large Maine Coon do you think the 23" carrier will be big enough? Thanks** A: I'm not sure,my Maine coon is just 7 months old & he just about fills it!I think in another 6 months he probably won't,but it is a good solid carrier & the top opening makes it easy to put your cat in!Simba likes it & walked in through the front door! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would give this 20 stars if I could *by M***. on 3 June 2026* I would give this 20 stars if I could.

I love the top opening feature. Unfortunately delivery was woeful - courier lost it and I was told it wasn't going to arrive. Amazon promptly refunded my money, and eventually the carrier did arrive. Worth the wait. ## Frequently Bought Together - Amazon Basics 2-Door Top-Load Hard-Sided Cat Pet Travel Carrier, 19.0" L x 12.6" W x 10.0" H, Gray & Blue - Amazon Basics Absorbent, Leak-Proof Dog and Puppy Pee Pads with 5-Layer Design and Quick-Dry Surface for Potty Training, Standard Absorbency, Regular Size, 22 x 22 Inch - Pack of 50, Blue & White --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/48507788-amazon-basics-hard-sided-cat-carrier-two-door-top-load](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/48507788-amazon-basics-hard-sided-cat-carrier-two-door-top-load) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
