Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Maeve™ Medium Rigid crash-tested?
Yes. The Maeve™ 2023 is independently crash-tested and engineered to exceed current industry safety standards for pet car seats.
Why choose the Rigid over the Flex?
The Rigid shell provides maximum impact protection due to its structured hard exterior — ideal for pet owners who want the highest level of crash safety. The Flex is softer and more packable but equally crash-tested.
What size pet fits in the Maeve™ Medium Rigid?
It fits dogs and cats up to 22 lbs (10 kg). For smaller pets under 11 lbs, see the Maeve™ Small Flex.
Does the Medium Rigid convert to a carrier?
Yes — unclip the seat from its base in seconds to use it as a portable pet carrier. The base remains in your car.
