Product description
The submitted sample, Style #GDTA-01, Coconut’s Travel Carrier, is a nylon toy travel carrier designed to resemble an actual dog carrier and is intended to transport a toy dog (not included). The carrier has mesh ends (to view the toy dog inside), a zipper opening, two carrying handles, and measures approximately 6-1/4 inches in height x 3 inches in width x 6 inches in length. In our opinion, the carrier is sized, designed, and constructed to be a toy dog carrier and creates an environment for interactive play with a toy dog, which outweighs any utilitarian use the carrier may have.
