Mr. Peanut's Monterey Series Airline Compliant Horizontal Backpack Pet Carrier
The Monterey Series makes travels with your pet easy. If you have ever tried to carry a pet carrier while juggling a cellphone, baggage and boarding passes you will appreciate the ease of carrying your pet on your back in a horizontal pet carrier.
The Monterey offers a unique and versatile combination of Backpack practicality featuring Premium Self Locking Zippers & Thermal Comfort Padding on Two Sides. This backpack allows your pet to be horizontal, unlike most pet backpacks which are a vertical space for your pet. The Monterey is designed for Biking, Travel, Hiking & Fun with Your Best Friend
The medium size is excellent for in-cabin airline use, designed to lay on its short padded side for pet comfort and ease of under seat compatibility. The large size is best used for transcontinental and international routes only, as those aircraft typically have larger under seat spacing than the aircraft used for regional routes.

- I discourage using weight only as a sizing indicator, as it can be deceptive. Get a good measurement while your pet is comfortably laying down and match up to the interior sizing of the carrier of interest for best sizing results.

Visit the Mr. Peanuts FAQ page which has some more specifics on all the models, but the primary difference between these two series is that the Gold Series models all use a strengthened 600D nylon fabric that allows for maximum pliability while still retaining its structure, whereas the Platinum Series models use a lighter weight, wrinkle free 300D nylon. Neither is superior to the other, as each borrow features from the other, but they are mostly different in aesthetics.
HOW TO MEASURE YOUR PET - I always recommend to measure your pet while comfortably laying down, as this is the typical position during flight time. Keep in mind all of my airline capable bags are designed with pet safety and comfort as the priority, and then by airline under seat requirements, so sizing is limited by that criteria.
BE SURE to acclimate your pet as much as possible to a new carrier in a home environment. You never want their first adventure out to be to a stressful airport or veterinarian. Let your pet learn to appreciate the carrier as a safe home away from home.
