| Hip belt | Padded and load-bearing, which is the difference from every other bag in this department -- it transfers weight to the pelvis rather than the shoulders | not published |
| Indian carriers | not published | Air India and IndiGo set their own in-cabin pet dimensions, weight limits and advance-booking requirements, and these differ from US ones and from each other |
| Opening | Clamshell, so it opens flat like a suitcase rather than top-loading | not published |
| Stowaway harness | Straps and belt zip away behind a panel, so it can be checked without straps catching | not published |
| Weight | 1.5 kg | not published |
| Weight limit reminder | 7 kg cabin on most Indian carriers, and 40 litres packed will exceed it | not published |
| What the phrase means | not published | No body certifies pet carriers. The manufacturer means it meets common US airline under-seat dimensions. It is not a standard |
| What to do | not published | Check the specific airline's published pet policy against the carrier's dimensions and your pet's weight before travelling |
