Crispin - Crash-tested pet carrier box

Which Crispin size is best for my pet?

Crispinia comes in three sizes, designed according to weight capacity: Small supports up to 22.7 kg, Medium 24.9 kg, and Large 27.2 kg. For example, Small is perfect for a Sheltie, a toy poodle, or two Bengal cats, Medium suits a Beagle, a working line Kelpie, or a large Maine Coon, and Large offers space for a young Labrador, a short-haired retriever, or two Ragdolls. Remember to ensure your pet's lying length and shoulder height fit within the internal dimensions (61–82.5 cm x 43 cm x 44.5–46 cm) and add a couple of centimeters for turning space.

How does Crispin improve safety during sudden braking?

The box locks into the car’s ISOFIX anchors with push-on fasteners and a top tether strap, preventing it from flying forward. It is dynamically crash-tested and calibrated to meet the ECE R129 child safety seat standard, bringing your retriever’s or Norwegian Forest cat’s safety level close to that of a child seat.

How does Crispin reduce travel stress for dogs or cats?

360° mesh panels provide plenty of light and air, which helps sensitive breeds like a Whippet or a shy Somali or Abyssinian cat. The sturdy base prevents the feeling of “hanging,” and it comes with two machine-washable mattresses – a basic mattress for energetic Aussies and a soft antimicrobial comfort mattress for an elderly Golden Retriever.

Can Crispin also be used for transporting cats?

Yes, the interior is taller than a traditional plastic box, so a long-backed Savannah or a large Maine Coon can stand and turn around. Tall zippered doors on both sides also make it easier for a shy British Shorthair to enter and exit.

How is Crispin practically installed in a car?

Push the push-on fasteners into the seat’s ISOFIX points, tighten the top tether around the rear bar or anchor point, and check that the red indicator tabs are no longer visible. The entire process takes less than a minute and keeps your Border Collie firmly in place even on winding roads.

What is the difference between Merle and Onyx colors?

Merle is a light, Scandinavian fresh shade that suits light fabric upholstery and adds extra brightness to the light of hot summer days – perfect, for example, against the coat of a white Labradoodle. Onyx is a deep coal black that blends with black leather seats and effectively hides the mud splashes of a Spanish Water Dog. Both versions are finished with vegan leather details.

How does Crispin stay clean and odor-free?

Two removable mattresses can be machine washed at 30 °C, and the antimicrobial treatment fights odors even after damp Spaniels. The outer fabric is naturally fire-resistant and contains no extra chemicals, so it repels splashes and wipes clean with a damp cloth.

How does Crispin suit puppies and seniors?

Puppies, like a 10-week-old Parson Russell, enjoy the soft comfort mattress whose edges protect against bumps. Senior dogs benefit from a stable, flat floor that supports joints and prevents slipping when the car turns.

Can two pets travel in the same box?

If the combined weight stays within the size’s capacity and both can turn around, it is possible. For example, two 6 kg Burmese cats in a Small size or a Sheltie and a Miniature Poodle totaling 18 kg in a Medium size are a safe combination – as long as they get along.

How does Crispin fold for storage?

The box can be folded flat into an 18 cm high package; Small measures 73 × 59 cm and Large 91 × 61.5 cm when folded. The included carrying bag and dust cover make storage easier, for example in an apartment closet or a motorhome side compartment.

What accessories are included?

The package includes two different mattresses, removable ISOFIX fasteners, a top tether strap, a carrying bag, and a dust cover. All fit into the folded box, so the set is convenient to take to a cottage or hotel.

How much does Crispin weigh and is it easy to carry?

Small weighs 3.4 kg, Medium 3.6 kg, and Large 4 kg – lighter than most plastic crates. The carrying bag and fasteners that slip into a hidden pocket make it easy even for the owner of a brown-coated Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever to carry.

Can Crispin be used for air travel?

Crispin is primarily designed for car use and does not comply with all airlines’ IATA dimensions. Always check the airline’s specific requirements; for domestic flights, a separate, softer transport bag may be available.

How does Crispin ensure sufficient ventilation and visibility?

Large mesh windows surround the entire box, allowing air to circulate freely and keeping your copper-brown Vizsla cool. The pet can see outside in every direction, which reduces closed-space stress and helps the owner monitor their condition with a single glance.
