It seems very sturdy and should be great. I'll be flying on Allegiant on Monday so I'll know then how it is under the seat. I actually did some alterations so I don't have to bother taking out the floor panel for it to fit under the seat. My dog is small enough that it isn't a problem with it only being the width without that panel. I cut out a strong piece of cardboard and contact papered it to fit within the bottom without the extra width that the floor panel gives it. I then put velcro on the back and put the floor panel there so it would stay when I turned the stroller on it's side. I also used velcro to keep the pad in place on that panel and put another one on the contact papered cardboard panel. We'll see how all that works on Monday! I'll give you an update.
March 30: The flight went good but there were a couple hiccups. This carrier doesn't fit under the window seat of the M80 plane I flew on. Luckily I was able to trade seats. It fits fine under the middle and isle seats. The only problem was the width under the window seat.
The other hiccup was my fault. My poor dog got tossed around a bit while I tried to figure how to maneuver the carrier to actually get it under the seat. I had to turn it on edge to be able to slide it under the seat.
As far as traveling thru the airport, it was a dream! Even tho my dog doesn't weigh that much, the long walks thru some airports can be a challenge. It was such a pleasure this time! And because of the wheel design, it's very easy to maneuver.
Oh, and the few alterations I made worked out perfect. And because there was more padding on two sides and his blanket inside, his experience while I was tossing him about trying to get the carrier under the seat wasn't as bad as it could have been!
I love that you can drop down the sides to cover the screens but also that there are screens for ventilation when needed. The one side that is the pouch to carry stuff in is great. Just don't put bulky stuff in it. That's the side your pet will be laying on under the seat!
I love this carrier!
Update on airline travel. Normally I have no trouble fitting this carrier under the seat but it does depend on the way the seats are configured. One time it wouldn't fit all the way under because there was a low bar under the seat making it too low for the carrier.
Update 12/21/2018.
Well, Allegiant has new planes and the area under the middle seat isn't big enough for this carrier. I'm very sad. Heck, when I sit in the seat, my knees hit the seat in front of me! They added more seats making the area for each seat smaller. Not good for people or pets. This isn't a negative review for the carrier. I still love it. I just wanted to let people know that it might not fit on some planes.

Nice for Kitty Travels!
Was excited to get this for our 2 cats to transport them in and out of motels. Everything was fine at first, simply constructed and easy to expand, except the left side Buckle that holds the side flap up immediately fell off. You can see it in the photos and one of the snaps that hold the end flap open is broke. Other than those 2 things looks good. Will know more once we actually use it. I was going to return it, but frankly I’m tired....tired of paying hard earned money to only receive things that aren’t well made, so I’ll work on repairing it myself and make do. Cats are now sleeping in it when the side compartment is unzipped in the motel room. They fight for who gets in it first, Mr Buddy or lil Face.
