Product Description

Pet travel is a breeze with Sleepypod Atom. Ergonomic and sleek, Sleepypod Atom is as easy to transport a pet to the vet's office as it is to jet across the terminal. Equipped with cozy Ultra Plush bedding, Sleepypod Atom will likely become your pet's favorite napping spot at home and on the road.

For added versatility, Sleepypod Atom can be used as a car seat. In the event of a collision or hard stop, Sleepypod Air's PPRS technology prevents a pet from being ejected while helping to reduce the damaging forces on the pet. Rigorous testing includes the same dynamic crash testing that ensures the performance of child safety restraints. It was tested at U.S.,Canadian, and E.U. child safety standards.
