Sleepypod Pet Carriers Earn Top Safety Ratings at New Center for Pet Safety Standard Pet Age


Sleepypod, a Pasadena-based company known for reinventing pet products through innovative design, today announces its full line of pet carriers are the first car safety restraints for pets to meet critical crash test guidelines in independent testing by the Center for Pet Safety (CPS) when crash-tested at a new CPS-001-016.02 pet restraint system standard. The CPS standard reflects the updated U.S. child restraint system standard FMVSS 213b. Sleepypod’s full line of carriers earned top CPS safety certification ratings.

The carrier models are:

  • Sleepypod mobile pet bed – CPS crash test video.
  • Sleepypod Air 2.0 (available in Spring 2025) – CPS crash test video.
  • Sleepypod Atom – CPS crash test video.
  • Sleepypod Mini – CPS crash test video.

 

“Sleepypod is setting a new benchmark in the pet industry by crash-testing its entire pet carrier line at the new Center for Pet Safety standard,” said Michael Leung, Sleepypod co-founder and lead product designer. “Independent testing by the Center for Pet Safety strongly validates Sleepypod’s safety outcomes in testing.”

“Sleepypod is shaping the future of pet product innovation,” said Ryan DeCaire, Paw Prosper co-founder and CEO. “Beloved for forward-thinking product designs, exceptional quality, and a keen focus on pet well-being, it is Sleepypod’s relentless commitment to safety that continues to set Sleepypod apart.”

Paw Prosper added Sleepypod to its pet health and wellness family of brands in January 2025.

 

How Sleepypod Carriers Protect Pets in a Car Crash

Sleepypod carriers work in combination with a human 3-point seatbelt. Working together, they stop the force in a collision and prevent the pet carrier from accelerating forward and off the seat bench. The proprietary Pet Passenger Restraint System technology built into Sleepypod carriers helps to absorb damaging forces and prevents the pet from ejecting.

 

Child Restraint System Standard Application in Pet Product Testing

Unlike child safety restraints, there is no legal standard for the crashworthiness of pet safety restraints. Sleepypod tests its carriers at U.S., Canadian and E.U. child safety seat standards using one or a combination of proprietary crash test pets as part of its rigorous safety test program. The carriers are then independently tested by the Center for Pet Safety. Center for Pet Safety certification and ratings are designated based on scientific research and data gathered in their ongoing crashworthiness studies.
