The carrier is very cute, and lightweight...however, if you have a frisky cat or dog that do not like to be in carriers do not purchase this one! There are three zippers: one on each side, and on on the top..however there is nothing to snap together where the two sides zip up to the top so it is very easy for my kitten to poke her head up between the clossures and eventually wiggle her way out! This way very scary since I was driving her to the vet alone in my car and had to hold both sides closed so she wouldn't jump out. I think the carrier is very cute, so I am going to figure out someway to snap the sides close.
