Rank #6 in Best Dog Crate 2026: The Inch Is Not a Measurement
Straame Folding Dog Crate 30 Inch, 78 x 46 x 53 cm, 2 Doors
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Straame 30-inch crate costs £27.99 and carries 455 ratings at 4.5 stars, with a fold-flat frame and sliding latches.
It takes sixth because its own listing contradicts itself — two doors in the title, one in the spec field, and dimensions in two orders — and because its 455 ratings are pooled with the 42-inch version at number five.
How those 455 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.5 stars.

Questions people ask
Does it have one door or two?
The title says two and the specification field says one; the photographs on the listing are the only way to be sure.
Why the same 455 ratings as the 42-inch?
Amazon pools reviews across the sizes of one product, so both Straame sizes show the same figure.
Is it a good size for a spaniel?
A 30-inch crate suits a cocker or a small springer; measure your dog's length before buying.
Are the latches secure?
They are sliding latches described as tamper-proof; no bar spacing is given.
Why is it sixth?
Because it contradicts itself twice and shares its sample, though the price and the latches are fine.
How many ratings does it have?
455 at the time of collection, averaging 4.5 stars, with 78 per cent five-star and 5 per cent one-star.
