PG GEN2 DLX SFT CRATE LAVENDER Review

PG GEN2 DLX SFT CRATE LAVENDER
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We bought this crate for our dog after I got tired of carrying a heavy, metal crate in and out each time we went on a car trip. We have to crate our dog in the car because she gets very anxious and moves around a lot in the car, often trying to get in the front seat. This has worked so much better for us than the old crate. It gives her plenty of room but is much lighter, folds up easily, and has lots of pockets to keep her food and toys if we go on an overnight trip. It's very easy to clean as well. I highly recommend it.

Boots & Barkley® Large Pop Open Dog Kennel Review

I use this kennel to transport my puppy (Bernese Mtn Dog) to and from work in my car and to keep him in my office (he is crate training). It has worked great. At home, it is his "play pen" and I leave the zipper open while he runs in and out of it playing with his toys. He has taken it upon himself to store ALL his toys in there.
At first, he was reluctant about being inside the crate and used his paws complete with sharp puppy claws to try to force himself out. He also tried to chew on the outer edges and find the zipper to open it. With proper training and patience, he now knows it's his "home" and respects it. No damage was done to the crate from his fits.
I don't leave him in this crate unsupervised for more than 15 minutes so I cannot attest to how it will hold up during frustrating periods (he has a heavy duty night crate in his bedroom which he does dig at during the night when playing with his Kong). Right now, he has plenty of space for his toys and a bed and mostly sleeps in it. As previously mentioned, in the car, it keeps him put, but I don't use the seatbelt loops since it is a little big for strapping in lengthwise and didn't bother trying.
I can't seem to fold it back to its original small round size, but I can easily fold it flat, which makes it easy to carry and store.
It's not a permanent crate for him. It's a temporary spot for him to be safe during the day and properly potty train.

Picnic Time Activo Insulated Tote with Waterproof Lining Review

Picnic Time Activo Insulated Tote with Waterproof Lining
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This tote is perfect for when you need a cooler without looking like you are carrying a cooler. Indispensable for specialty grocery shopping in cities via public transport. Tall narrow profile keeps things nicely stacked together and is less awkward to carry, especially for petites.
What this tote has:
* Main section is lined in thick white waterproof plastic not foil.
* Main section has a drawstring closure, that leaves a small gap the circumference of a small french bread.
* Spacious top zippered-pocket inside of the handle safe for wallet and valuables.
* Large exterior zippered-pocket can hold magazines comfortably, or slide in a Tovolo Bamboo Outdoor Wine Table
* Short exterior pocket (no closure) perfect for shopping lists, cutting board, packet of wetwipes, packet of paper napkins.
* 2 short side-pockets with velcro closure for small items (calculator, Zelco Mangia 3 Piece Set, shopping lists, extra baggies Envirosax Reusable Bag - Flora #5, more napkins)
I have used this tote for grocery runs via the NYC subway, the Toronto subway, the Hong Kong MTR and even in Paris. For looks and ease of maneuvering, it beats regular coolers hands down. This gives you the freedom to stop and have a coffee, gelato or buy a bottle of wine without worrying that the meat and cheeses you just bought will spoil in the heat or be embarrassed by sitting in a cafe with a big cooler at your feet.
I have also used this tote as a Picnic Bag for four, holding Tovolo Bamboo Outdoor Wine Table, 4 tall round takeout containers, stick of french bread, 2 Cryopak Flexible Ice Blanket 16.5 x 11.66-Inch (6 Pack), 4 Zelco Mangia 3 Piece Set, Bambu Bamboo Veneerware Plate 9", Set of 8, cutting board, napkins, wetwipes, tablecloth. It is also an excellent Bento Box bag for the family. It can hold 2 Thermos Nissan 48 Ounce Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Lunch Tote comfortably along with space for additional snacks, utensils and tablecloth in the main compartment. I carry the wine bottle separately in another wine bag : Wine Sack Wine duffel with carry strap and corkscrew Olive Green-120, or I use this tote to carry 3 bottles of wine with Vacu Vin Rapid Ice Guy Buffet Café De Flore Wine Cooler
Cons:
* White plastic lining instead of foil. Foil insulates better.
* Heavy for a softsided cooler. However it is very sturdy, has durable hardware and holds a lot of weight. (Not that you would want to schlep heavy items via public transport)
* Drawstring closure doesn't close completely because the white plastic lining goes all the way up and is too thick to pull shut. Better to "un-draw" the string and simply fold over the top.
* The tote is tall and skinny so it obviously won't stand up by itself on uneven ground.
While this tote is not big enough to buy huge amounts of groceries [no Costco, no frozen pizzas], it is big enough for specialty shopping, European markets and a moderate 4 person picnic. I use it almost daily for a variety of activities and have bought extras for friends as gifts.

Pet Gear Generation II Deluxe Portable Soft Crate Review

Pet Gear Generation II Deluxe Portable Soft Crate
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought these to put my cats in when we have to go into the basement for storm warnings, instead if trying to frantically cram them into their cat carriers. They all love it so much we keep these set up for them to hang out in all the time. Very well made, easy to set up and take down. I bought the larger size (36x24)for my bigger male cats, which leaves room for a litter box or food dishes if we are hanging out for a longer time, and the smaller one for my female cat. Comes with a nice fleece pad as well as a waterproof pad.
