  So, the rescue recommended taking my rabbits on car rides to help with bonding alongside with the stroller trips. I have 3 carriers already, 2 of the small and one that is a bit wider and taller. My large rabbit (Sev) would never fit in any of these with my smaller rabbit (Houdini). Although, Sev does prefer her small carrier over her larger, it still would be impossible to fit them both in the biggest carrier I have.
  
  So Sev is 9 pounds, I like to call her my big baby (because she is the size of one). Easily she is as long as a average females should to hips. Houdini is my 3 pound jersey wooly. He is small but his hair makes him look bigger.
  
  What I’m hoping to get: A soft sided carrier that I can try to hold up so I can store it in the stroller I get (not a must). Something that fits them both and is durable. Hopefully available on Amazon, but again not a must. Not expensive. I’ve seen the medium prices on Amazon are $15-30. I do want the carrier to last but I am also trying to purchase a pet stroller that is going to be around $50. Sadly I’m not made of money.
  
  What I do not want: Something I can’t safely secure in my car. Brands I can’t get in the US (sigh). Something over $30.
  
  Please comment ones your recommend or don’t recommend. If you don’t have a carrier that can hold 2 rabbits but have carriers for your other animals that you think may suit what I want it for, please comment.
  
  Please don’t advertise, I want personal opinions not an ad. I know that binkybunny doesn’t allow advertising, so please don’t be someone trying to find a loophole.
  
  If binkybunny sold carriers, I would of course buy it from them.

  You don’t actually need a carrier to bond. I used a plastic storage container or I’ve seen some people use small c&c cubes.

  lol – you’ll end up llike me with a room dedicated to different sized cages and carriers….
  
  I reckon one in each carrier (so you don’t have to buy a new one) facing each other on a stressful car trip (I found cobbled Streets!!) and going somewhere unknown – a friends? completely NEW terroritory – and then getting out and putting them in an xpen there will help heaps.
  
  It was the only one time when I tried bonding that my two got on OK – like a spaceship jounrey and then landing on the moon together !!

  I’ve tried an unknown territory, Sev would honk and launch to bite at Houdini for a while. It was my living room, they don’t go in that room, they stay only in my room since I have other animals. I felt that since other animals are allowed in the living room room that there was no way that they would think that it was familiar. Since they haven’t met the dogs (there my family’s dogs). I set up the x pen almost every night and no fights occurred. Two weeks later, Houdini decided to stick up for himself resulting in a fight. This is when the rescue recommend the stroller. It’s a stress bond technique so I don’t have to drive everywhere and can have direct contact with them. If I’m driving, I can’t monitor them really. I’m thinking I may do separate carriers for now. Luckily, I have a garage that is only used as storage and an extra room so carriers are a problem but then aren’t since I already have space for them. My babies have costed me lots of space lol. I can feel your pain, I am dreading when I graduate college and move out and have to find a place with enough space
