does this carrier have a wire frame or something that makes it keep its shape?

It may have a flexible wire in the end panels, but the bottom is rigid. What I wanted it to do, and it worked, was to have a soft flex at the ends so they could fold down enough to fit under theairline seats. Otherwise it maintained the shape even while I carried it with the strap.

To be honest, I'm not quite sure since I had to throw mine out (poor quality)...

I do not believe it is wire but yes it pops up into shape and stays... its very durable too

Yes, it is very sturdy. I had to send the ones I purchased because my cats would not go in them. I have two cat weighing 15 &18 lbs and the carriers were not big enough for them. I loved the carriers but my cats did not. The carrier would be wonderful for smaller pets

Yes, looking at the picture it is that wire loop near the bottom of the unit. It is spring loaded and folds in for storage in its case

There's a mesh bottom to the carrier. It's one welded piece. Not a separate basket.

Yes. It has a collapsible frame, probably flexible nylon or a similar material. Mine was a bit squished from transport and is just starting to pop back into shape now. This doesn't seem to affect how well it functions with a cat in it though.

This isn't a carrier. My Maltese (puppy) was kept in here when I wanted to keep her safe and out of things. I recently used the pegs that are included to anchor this outside at a family gathering. She (now grown at 12 lbs.) and my cousin's Boxer (a 9-wk old who was about 9 lbs.) were able to knock it over until we remembered to anchor it. The sides are canvas with a metal frame. It folds compactly at the seams of each side and stores in its own case with a handle for easy carrying.Hope this helps!

At first glance it does look like a portable carrier but it truly is a solid house. The house is made from two equally sized pieces of heavy plastic that snap together. The top is heavy enough that I just place it on the bottom half without snapping them together for ease of cleaning.

The bottom is solid and not mesh. The carrier has mesh on the sides and on one end all being on the upper half. I hope this is helpful.

No, it doesn't. The wire basket on the very bottom is removable, but the top is not. It doesn't fold either which is annoying, but my daughter still adores it. It is tall, so it is good for an older child that still likes to play with dolls. Very cute, very pleased.

Mine is the same. This is the best bike carrier! My dog loves it! My dog and I feel very secure using this carrier, and I've tried many carriers

We attached the carrier to siderails only. It sat on top of the two crossrails. We added two criss-crossed bungees across the top for additional support. It was very secure, madethe trip from Marco Island, FL to NJ without incident. Will use it again when we vacation in FL next Jan.

It has a metal frame that prevents it from folding up, although the canvas covering can be collapsed to almost flat. I have purchased 3 of these for my wife and her friends. It is great for taking to farm markets. It is highly maneuverable. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately, no; however, it's stayed pretty firmly in place thanks to the different placement of all the wires. Since there are ports on both sides and on top, the wires pulling in every direction has held it mostly still.

No, it is somewhat coated wire (coating looks like some sort of paint). I use it to make a run pen and gate off sections of rooms from my 3lb bunny. It is the perfect height and easy to fold up.

I maintains its shape whether it is full or empty. You can probably flatten it down and keep it bungeeied down if you want, but I never did. I ride my ATV hard and it did not come loose and malfunction in any way. Great Value if you do not want to pay the high cost of hard shell cargos.

It doesn't have anything but stiff sides to maintain shape, I had mine for about 1 month and with no treatment or extra support it has been holding it's shape well, even when riding in rain filled with about 6lbs for tools. So far I'm very happy with it, expecially for price
