My memory is foggy on whether it was the first time I walked into a dog show or a dog training seminar that I saw everyone with a small dog sitting on a folding dog crate chair. The people were intensely studying the event schedule on their comfortable chairs while their dogs rested peacefully below them. While setting up my dog crate then my quad folding chair and getting all of my personal items settled into the various pockets scattered on each, I fantasized about the ease with which my task would take if only I had one of those dog crate chairs. I was determined to get one. Until I found out how much a dog crate chair cost. I am an avid camping traveler with a collection of camp chairs, one in almost every color, multiple person camp chairs, a reclining camp chair and even a folding picnic table and I realized that it was not at all budget or storage practical to add yet another chair to my mass. For years the fantasy of how much more fun pet friendly travel and adventures would be with a crate chair lay dormant until I discovered Wrapsit™. While a more recent memory, I am foggy on the exact words I used when reaching out to the creators of this folding quad chair slipcover pet crate but I believe I used the word "genius."
Make An Old Quad Folding Chair A Dog & Cat's Favorite Camp Chair | Wrapsit Slipcover Pet Crate7/10/2015

My memory is foggy on whether it was the first time I walked into a dog show or a dog training seminar that I saw everyone with a small dog sitting on a folding dog crate chair. The people were intensely studying the event schedule on their comfortable chairs while their dogs rested peacefully below them. While setting up my dog crate then my quad folding chair and getting all of my personal items settled into the various pockets scattered on each, I fantasized about the ease with which my task would take if only I had one of those dog crate chairs. I was determined to get one. Until I found out how much a dog crate chair cost. I am an avid camping traveler with a collection of camp chairs, one in almost every color, multiple person camp chairs, a reclining camp chair and even a folding picnic table and I realized that it was not at all budget or storage practical to add yet another chair to my mass. For years the fantasy of how much more fun pet friendly travel and adventures would be with a crate chair lay dormant until I discovered Wrapsit™. While a more recent memory, I am foggy on the exact words I used when reaching out to the creators of this folding quad chair slipcover pet crate but I believe I used the word "genius."
The initial genius I saw in Wrapsit was simply an affordable crate chair option that would also help me avoiding ridicule for adding yet another folding camp chair to my already hilarious collection. Wrapsit features like the pockets, carrying straps and closure ease that meant I didn't have to stuff the quad chair back into it's bag didn't matter much to me. I avoid using the pockets of folding quad chairs, I don't try to carry any chairs very far and I have never had much trouble getting any of my chairs back into the bag. Then came the genius of Wrapsit. It is so much more than a crate chair cover. The pockets on Wrapsit are actually useful while the chair is open and closed. Among other things, I carry water for me and for the pets in the Wrapsit pockets. Both the hand and the shoulder straps are truly comfortable and my Wrapsit covered chair has now trekked farther on my back, in my hand or slung to the pet stroller than I ever imagined taking a folding chair. With the ease of setting up and closing my Wrapsit covered chair by simply pulling apart or putting together three strips of velcro, I want to throw away every chair bag I have and cover all my quad chairs with a Wrapsit. I promise that won't mean I will get more traveling pets for the crates. But if anyone with a small pet wants to come camping with us, I will have a spot saved!
Wrapsit makes carrying, setting up and taking down a quad chair easy.
For now, the one Wrapsit I have is on my oldest quad folding camp chair. If I decide to put it on another chair, Wrapsit is so easy to install, it would take only a couple of minutes to switch. The Wrapsit cover is also easy to remove to clean though after many outings with many pets, I have not needed to clean the Wrapsit yet. The waterproof coated polyester base has easily shaken off for me. So besides genius, affordability, ease and convenience, what more can I say about Wrapsit? Well, the two women who created and developed Wrapsit are amazing. They have both spent a lifetime with pets, support pet adoption and are just all around wonderful people that I feel extremely lucky to have connected with. As a person who is picky about the businesses I support and where my money goes, I am almost as happy to have a Wrapsit of my very own as I am to be able to share this genius product review. Almost. Please don't ask me to give up my Wrapsit. Wait. I mean, don't ask the pets to give up their Wrapsit. Wilhelm and Amelia just love their new favorite camp chair.

Is the mesh thick enough to provide adequate shade? I would love to haul less pet stuff to the beach!

The Wrapsit mesh crate and the chair it covers create a nice shady place for a small pet to chill, Susan. Since the crate is mesh on all sides, it is very breathable/cool. Plus the thick polyester bottom can provide extra protection from the hot sand.

My favorite part of the Wrapsit, which of course I couldn't get a decent picture of, has been having Wilhelm or Amelia leashed to the staked chair or to me enabling them to go in an out of the chair crate as they pleased. Without being unattended or confined in the crate so there is no chance of turning towards destructive tendencies. It is an excellent shady, clean, dry, quiet, comfortable spot for a little doggie or kitty chill time!
