From the first use, the bag showed their weaknesses. The cats can not be transported safely, but can use the bag open on their own. My cats have become so liberated even in a car and are not protected in the car running around. The stabilization rods have come during the first use of the feed out what makes the bag unstable. I have two bags ordered for my two cats, one of which after only a few transports was completely broken. Overall, I would rate the pocket, because of the listed deficiencies is not good.
