I've never had much luck with soft crates in the past. Even the odd frustrated swipe at the netting in the front has torn it and ruined the crate. Yet... they are very portable. The prospect of lugging a big metal thing around in an already over-full car is not a good one.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a tough and hard-to-destroy brand of soft crate which can be collapsed/is portable?

Not soft and I dont know how big u need buty are the plastic ones airline's suggest any use ?
I have one that I use for my cats at vet and they arnt as heavy as the metal ones

Um, I think those are going to be difficult to travel with due to the size they take up... :)

Although most do come in two parts, one part fits inside the other and you can put bags inside it?

Hmmm, that's an idea! They are quite expensive though.

I will check them out!

Have a look on facebook marketplace, they're often for sale there for around £30

I got mine secondhand from charity shop .Ebay is another place

Ok, great ideas...
