Dupree - Oro linijų patvirtinta augintinių rankinio bagažo sėdynė

What is the weight limit for the Dupree seat – and which breeds is it suitable for?

Both Dupree I and Dupree II are designed for pets weighing up to approximately 9 kg (20 lb). This includes, for example, toy poodles, miniature schnauzers, cocker spaniel puppies, and small cat breeds such as Cornish Rex and Bengal. Still, remember to weigh your furry friend before traveling.

Which size, Dupree I or Dupree II, is right for me?

The external dimensions are the same, but Dupree II’s internal height is half an inch (approx. 1 cm) taller, providing a bit more headroom for longer-backed friends – for example, a Shetland Sheepdog puppy or a Balinese cat. If your pet likes to stretch out while lying down, choose II; if it curls up, I is sufficient.

Will the carrier bag definitely fit under the airplane seat?

Yes. The flexible frame is sized to the carry-on dimensions of common airlines and slides under the seat on most domestic and European routes. However, always confirm the final measurements with your airline before departure.

How does the ISOFIX attachment make traveling by car safer?

Steel-reinforced ISOFIX locks snap directly onto the car anchors in seconds, so the bag stays securely in place during a collision without separate mounts or belt setups. With one button, you release the bag when it’s time to move to the departure gate.

Has the seat really been crash-tested?

Yes. Dupree has been tested under dynamic crash conditions using the same technology as the latest child safety seat standard ECE R129, and the side impact protection includes Tailor tech™ memory foam to absorb impact energy.

How does ventilation work in hot weather?

360° mesh panels circulate air from all directions, so heat does not stagnate. At the same time, the pet can watch the scenery, which calms many more active breeds, such as Jack Russell or Abyssinian cats.

Can the mattresses be washed and kept fresh?

Yes. Two removable mattresses come with the bag: a durable basic mattress and a soft comfort mattress treated with eco-friendly zinc-based antimicrobial technology to reduce odors. Both can be machine washed on a gentle cycle.

Does the bag smell after a long trip?

The antimicrobial treatment slows bacterial growth and reduces musty odors, so the bag stays fresh longer, even if you take a week-long road trip. For quick cleaning, the inner base panel can also be wiped with a damp cloth.

Can the structure withstand a sturdier cat?

The sturdy base plate distributes weight evenly and does not sag, so even an 8 kg Maine Coon stays stable during the ride. The upright frame prevents the bag from collapsing even if the passenger stretches against the edge.

Can the bag be secured with a seatbelt on a bus or train?

Although ISOFIX is for cars, the carrier bag can be secured with a regular three-point seatbelt by threading the belt through the anchor strap on the back. This way, the bag stays on the seat also in public transport.

What is the difference between the Onyx and Merle colors, and what situations are they suitable for?

Onyx is a stylish matte black that blends into business travel style or minimalist interiors. Merle is a marbling of light gray and white shades – a bohemian choice, for example, for springtime vacation photos or a light-colored car. Both are finished with luxury vegan leather that looks like leather but withstands moisture wiping.

Can I use the bag for a puppy that grows quickly?

You can, as long as you observe the weight limit. For example, a 3-month-old cockapoo fits well now, but if the estimated adult weight exceeds approx. 9 kg, the bag will become too small. As the puppy grows, Dupree still works for the first year’s training and short walks.

How quickly can I get my pet out at security?

Magnetic lock flaps roll down in seconds, and locking zippers open with one pull. This way, you can lift your dog or cat into your arms without stressful fumbling at the conveyor belt.

Can I attach Dupree to a suitcase?

Yes. The trolley strap slides around the handle of a rolling suitcase, leaving your hands free for carrying, for example, a boarding pass and a coffee cup.

How do I keep the bag clean while traveling?

The removable inner panel is made of wipeable material for quick cleanups, mesh panels can be brushed of hair, and the outer vegan leather surface can be cleaned with a light damp cloth. When you return from your trip, throw the mattresses in the machine and air out the bag – ready for the next adventure!
