Yes. I have had no buckling problem with this seat. It feels very sturdy. I use it a few times a week and have had it a few months now. Still holding up great!

Sturdy like a concrete floor??? NO! I never expected it too . It's a portable carrier. Our dog is in the 15 lbs. range and seems very comfortable in this carrier. We do put a 12"x12" cushion underneath the carrier for added stability. We're fine with that, because we carry that cushion anyway for our dog. As for us, we couldn't be happier with this purchase. Hope this helps.

It doesn't really suspend. I have extended the bottom so it sits on the seat.... Not a very sturdy bottom.

It is a great seat, however, i did proactively place a piece of 1/4 inch plywood underneath for my 12lb Jack Russell Terrier.

Hello! I actually have two of these! I love them. To me the bottoms are pretty sturdy and you can buckle them in. I have a mini doxie that's about 8 lbs and a small poodle mix that's about 12 lbs and they seem to like them and stay safe

Mine does a little as well but I put a 11 pound dog and a 7 pound dog in it at the same time

One thing I have done sometimes because I want it to stay up so my dog can see outside, is I put the right size box under the car seat. Works great!

It has a solid bottom. I put a dog bed inside so it would be soft for the dogs.

I carry both my 5.5lb & 9.0lb pups in the carrier together. Perhaps I've never incurred the buckling because I've always had the base with wheels attached (which keeps the bottom flat), along with the removable vinyl bottom piece that came inside the carrier.

I don't move mine a lot, but my 56 lb. dog sits in it, and I've never had any problem with its sturdiness. I feel it should hold up well with three cats.

I have two 16 month old black labs (85 and 90 lbs). They have done fine in it. It does seem to feel more flimsy than our smaller ones but I think that is just because of the height of the kennel. The latch has to be secured with a wire though on the one we use all the time..they paw at it and have been known to get out. My metal tray (which is why we bought it) is about 2 inches shorter than what I think it should be. Had to anchor it so that the dogs could not paw at rug that was beneath it.

When a dog is resting on it, the buckles may slip and unfold. Unfolded it would be quite comfortable, but not that easy to clean. But unfolded it would be large enough for the biggest of dogs.

Would work fine for 15 pound dog, may be a little heavy for smaller dog but I think worth a try, especially if dog is healthy and fairly strong for its size. I used with two small dogs and loved it.

We have not had any problems with it staying in place. Our dog is large,(standard poodle and sheperd mix),and a very enthusiastic eater, but the bowl stays in place when she eats.

My dog weighs 15 lbs and just fits. I would not recommend this for your dog. I hope this helped :)

I carry my two 6 pound miniature dauchunds in it and have no problems with sturdiness. Straps are strong and does not create a lot of movement for dogs either.

Yes, it does have a sturdy bottom but it will bend it you have too much weight in it. So far I have filled it and used it to carry things inside and outside the house and it still looks great and works well.

Yes, the pad at the bottom is firm enough to handle my 14 lb chihuahua. It dips a tiny bit, but nothing to squish her.

yes it has a floor but it's not very sturdy. I wouldn't recommend this for a dog weighing more than 15 lbs

I have it packed away for the winter, but I do believe that it has a hard bottom, at least an insert. I will say my dog is about 18 pounds and I put a little blanket in with her and it was fine, and comfy. I really love this, the only negative thing was one of my back tires fell off, it wasn't clamped into the slot far enough. But this carrier lets me pack her all over, and quickly too. I am so pleased I got it!!

That is about 10 lbs bigger than my dog (a jack russell mixed breed). My dog can turn around and stand up in the seat - it is not very deep which might be an issue for a dog larger than mine since they could easily jump out.

The bottom of the crate is not hard ... I think the answer would depend on how heavy your pet is. I think that the canvas and build of the crate is pretty solid. The great thing about this product is that there are plenty of ventilation for your pet which keeps the crate cool while the pet is inside.

It's pretty sturdy but will depend on what size dog you have! I'd suggest taking it in a lake if your dog comes along, just for safety sake. I have a 54 lb dog and feel she's way too big to accompany me!
