Rank #4 in Best Dog Crate 2026: The Inch Is Not a Measurement
Amazon Basics 4-Door Soft-Sided Folding Travel Crate Kennel, Medium 76 x 54 x 54 cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Amazon Basics soft-sided travel kennel costs £30.59 and has 14,708 ratings at 4.5 stars — the biggest sample in this ranking.
It takes fourth because that sample belongs to a different product: a fabric travel kennel for the car or the vet, ranked in Amazon's Travel Carriers category, not a wire crate you can leave a strong chewer in.
How those 14,708 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.

Questions people ask
Can I leave my dog in it?
Only a calm one: the sides are fabric and a chewer will get through them.
Why does it have more ratings than the crate at number one?
Because it is sold across several sizes and for cats and rabbits as well as dogs, so the pool is broader.
Is it good for the car?
Yes — that is the job: it folds, has a handle and four doors.
What is the size in inches?
The model name says 30 by 21 by 21 inches, and the fields give 76.2 by 53.3 by 53.3cm.
Why is it fourth?
Because the biggest sample here belongs to a travel kennel rather than a wire crate.
How many ratings does it have?
14708 at the time of collection, averaging 4.5 stars, with 73 per cent five-star and 4 per cent one-star.
