Are there any handles on the carriers? Would the carriers be acceptable to transport cats down 3 flights of stairs?

There aren't any real handles. You could carry them down individually but it would not be the easiest to reattach with the pets in the carrier

No there are no handles and stairs would be tough.Its just sturdy enough for a flag surface,any uneven maneuvering is difficult

There are no handles on the "carriers". My deaf cats (I have 5!) absolutely LOVE going for walks in this stroller and follow me around the house as I wheel it to the door. 2 of my cats are BIG( 16 pounds+) and it is a handful just to try and get the stroller down 3 steps out of my front door. Unless your kitties are itty bitty, I would recommend you start working out with weights and work on your balance!:-) Make no mistake, I love this stroller almost as much as my kitty krewe, but I wish the carriers came apart and came back together more easily like I imagine a human infant stroller might do.

I would not recommend the backpack carrier for two full grown cats in 1 carrier. There will not be enough room. If you are buying two, 1 for each cat would work fine. Also, this backpack carrier should be used as such.. A backpack, if you are traveling with them on your person.

the carriers themselves are fairly sturdy. the stroller frame is not real heavy. i had two small dogs in mine...i think that since you can only use it for small animals, it is probably built to handle that.

I think they could physically fit into the stroller, but one cat on each level will need to be in the back of the carrier, where they may not be able to see out. I think they would be fairly crowded. If they are used to being out on walks and like to be close to each other, it could work well for you. I also have four cats but have only attempted to use this with two cats at a time. However, two of my cats are quite large and long haired.

No. There are no stairs, ladders, or anything else to assist in their ascent to the top. What is pictured is what you get. The lower 2/3 of the cat tower is rather easily accessible do to the platforms being relatively low in nature. The top tier is hard to get on even if your cats do have claws. Our cats use the back of the couch to access the upper portions and even then it's a leap for them. Hope this is helpful!

2 of them snap to the top of your carries on the top of the metal arches the long way and one goes at the base of the stroller under the bottom carrier for support. Hope that makes sense. I love this carrier. I ha e a 21 pds cat and an 18 pds cat and they fit comfortably with room to spare. Madame living in NYC and vet visits a piece of cake and got my kitties some fresh air.

I would say yes, if you are getting the bigger of the two carriers. I have two cats, one about 9 lbs and the other about 11 lbs, and I took them on a ten hour drive and they both fit comfortably in the carrier. So if you have only one rabbit, he/she should be able to move around with ease and won't feel cramped. Hopefully this helps!

Yes. The levels are close enough together that they can jump up and down. Claws would make it easier, but its not required. My cats ADORE this cat tree. Two of my three sleep on it every night.

Yes, you should be able to use the Pet Trekker. I, too, have 2 cats that together weigh around 31 lbs. The carrier wheels around fine with both inside, and it holds up quite well when carrying up/down stairs and lifting into car.

No, the carrier is tall enough that my cats can stand just fine! =) On a side note, the handle on top is deep enough that I can slide a seat belt through the handle and secure the carrier in the back seat of my car.

Hi! No, this carrier definitely isn't what you're looking for. It would disassemble into six separate pieces, and not too easily. It would be tough to carry, and I don't think it's designed to hold up being taken apart and put back together multiple times.

No, they're not. There are also no handles so the unit is quite difficult to move. We are looking for laundry bags to put inside each section.

I've had two 8 lb. cats in the carrier for trips to the vet when I didn't have enough carriers for everybody. I agree with holding from the bottom when there's a heavier load -- just in case.

First of all, I think that the smaller size carriers are too small for a 40-lb dog. Maybe the larger-sized carrier (Med or Large) would have the internal room needed. Then there is the question of structure. The smaller carrier has a metal tubular framework that seems strong enough to carry a larger dog. However, the floor of the carrier is nothing more than the canvas stretched over the metal framework. It may be adequate, but to me it seems that the concentrated weight of a 40-lb dog would stretch and maybe deform the canvas floor. I have also used the larger sized carrier (not sure if it is M or L) to carry two cats. It has the same canvas floor as the smaller ones, but there are two nylon straps sewn across the flooring fabric to reinforce the bottom. The total weight of the two cats is somewhere near 20 pounds and the floor was perfect. I'm guessing the larger carriers have sufficiently reinforced floors to carry whatever the recommended weight load is for that carrier. Okay, so a larger carrier is probably good from a structural point. The problem I had carrying two cats is that even though the 20 or so pounds isn't much, the length/width/depth of the carrier, made it awkward for one person to carry it. I did, but I am 6 feet and 200 pounds - still it was sort of clumsy to carry either by the hand straps or the shoulder straps. The smaller gals at the vet clinic could not effectively carry the carrier with the two cats. If there were two of them (one on each hand strap), they managed well enough. Remember now, this was 20-something pounds and not 40 pounds. Moving your 40-pound dog will most likely require one person on each side of the carrier or you doing it alone, hunched over with the shoulder strap while you schlep your feet along.

I have put three cat litter bags in weighing 40 lbs each and have not had a problem transporting, hope this helps!

It's my opinion that the bags would be much easier to carry down a flight of stairs than a basket. You could probably carry the bag with one hand but a basket would require two hands...assuming you're just carrying one bag at a time.

Yes, it is very sturdy. I had to send the ones I purchased because my cats would not go in them. I have two cat weighing 15 &18 lbs and the carriers were not big enough for them. I loved the carriers but my cats did not. The carrier would be wonderful for smaller pets
