I loved this crate up until the time I put one of my GSDs in it that wanted out. The screen and fabric held up; however, the material that holds the sides up that is sewn into the fabric BENT IN HALF making the crate unusable--Can't Fix-it. Also by accident, another one of my GSDs 85lbs put his front paws on the front of the crate and the same thing happend--the rod or whatever that was secureing the sides snapped in half. I have one left--only a matter of time though
Not for the large breed dog

My 19 lb terrier is over 2 years old and is very well crate trained. I thought this would be more comfortable for him and he really liked it. I had him sleep in it overnight with no problems. I had to put him back in for 10 minutes before taking him for a walk and he busted right through the front mesh door. If this happened while camping or away from the house it would have been a big problem. Be wary about buying this for your dog.

My Labs are create trained at a very early age. Once that is accomplished, the Day-Tripper is the crate I use when we travel. I have tried a variety of other "light weight" crates and this is by far my favorite. It is light weight and easy to assemble and unassemble. However, I would caution... This is not a crate to be used for training. During the training period use a wire or molded crate.

Bought my first one (the 25x18x21 size) a few months ago for one of my westies (she's sacked out in it right now) and liked it so much that I just bought another one for the other westie. He already has a nylabone collapsible crate but it's not that easy to fold up and it's kind of heavy and bulky to travel with. The Day Tripper is very easy to fold up and very light-weight - great for traveling. I also like the side and end entries.

The outside of the popup crate is super durable, but the bottom tray is not. It's made out of a cheap plywood with a fluffy zip liner cover. Well, our dog chewed right through it in no time and the pop up doesnt work without the bottom to keep the sides up.
