About Fenced Traveler Pet Outing Bag

Fenced Traveler is a pet outing bag designed for small pets such as rodents. The bag carries a small pet outdoors and then opens into an enclosed play area. After the bag is placed on the ground, a built-in structure forms a closed outdoor space, and the pet can be released inside it. The design reduces the need for a traction rope, which can injure small pets and limit their movement. Fenced Traveler is made of plastic and cloth, shaped with a knapsack cloth forming technique. The aim is to protect small pets outdoors and to give owners more freedom during shared outdoor activities.

Production Technology
Our design is shaped by Knapsack production cloth forming technique. The main material is using Plastic and cloth.
Design Challenge
The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a reasonable way in it’s appearance which is satisfying in function at the beginning. After a certain number of sketching, discussing and experimentation of our project, we finally find the proper selection which achieves the desired effect.
Research
After detailed investigation, the problems faced by small pets outdoors have many problems, such as tightening the traction rope, causing injuries to pets, making it difficult to manage pets, pets are easy to be attacked and injured by other animals, and pet owners' outdoor activities are easy to be restricted. The study found that the existing products are not easy to clean the excreta of pet bags, and the fence is inconvenient to carry. That's the beginning of Fenced Traveler.
Inspiration
Based on the pet outing and playing, Fenced Traveling Backpack is a design concept redefining the pet outing bag, increasing the interaction, and changing the experience of people and small pets in outdoor entertainment.
Project Duration
The project started in March 2021 in in LAFA Communal Facility Design Studio and finished in February 2022 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
Operation Flow
