Tavo Maeve Merle Medium Flex Handle PET CAR SEAT

Give your dog or cat a comfortable and familiar place to travel with the **Tavo Maeve Pet Protection System Medium Flex in Merle**. Designed as much more than an ordinary pet carrier, the Maeve combines a spacious pet travel pod with a dedicated vehicle base, protective construction and a flexible carrying handle, creating one versatile system for everyday journeys and longer adventures.

The **Medium Flex** is designed for one medium-sized pet weighing up to **12 kg**. With an internal length of approximately 66 cm, it provides considerably more room than the Small Flex Maeve while retaining the lighter, flexible carrying arrangement that distinguishes it from the Medium Rigid version.

Whether you’re heading across town, taking your dog away for the weekend or simply making regular car journeys with your cat, the Maeve provides a secure and comfortable space that can stay familiar to your pet both at home and on the move.

## More Than an Ordinary Pet Car Seat

The Maeve has been designed as a complete pet protection system rather than a conventional carrier that simply sits on the back seat.

A dedicated **Maeve vehicle base** is included with the system and attaches to compatible rigid anchor points in your vehicle. The base also incorporates a high-strength stability leg that extends down to the vehicle floor.

Once the base has been correctly installed, the Maeve carrier clicks securely into position.

Coloured indicators provide a useful visual confirmation when the system has been correctly connected, removing much of the guesswork that can come with securing an ordinary pet carrier in a vehicle.

When you’ve reached your destination, the carrier can be released from the base using a conveniently positioned button. The base can then remain installed in a compatible vehicle, ready for your next journey.

## Protective EPP Foam Construction

A key part of the Maeve’s design is the lightweight yet durable **EPP foam** surrounding the pet compartment.

EPP is used to help absorb energy and disperse impact forces while keeping the overall carrier relatively lightweight.

The system also includes a removable **Side Impact Protection guard** incorporating Tavo’s **Tailor tech™ energy-absorbing memory foam**.

The vehicle base provides another element of protection through its stability leg. Extending from the front of the base to the vehicle floor, it’s designed to help reduce movement and rotation of the carrier in the event of an impact.

Together, these features make the Maeve a considerably more sophisticated proposition than a typical soft-sided dog or cat carrier.

## Extra Room for Medium-Sized Pets

The **Medium Flex Maeve** is particularly useful for pets that need more room than the Small Flex can provide.

Its interior measures approximately **66 cm long x 29.2 cm wide x 43 cm high**, creating a generously sized space where a suitable medium-sized dog or cat can settle during a journey.

A structural canopy creates an enclosed and cosy environment, while flexible mesh ventilation panels encourage airflow throughout the carrier.

The mesh also gives your pet a view of what’s happening outside, helping the carrier feel less enclosed.

There’s even a useful peek-a-boo window that allows you to check on your travelling companion without opening the entire canopy.

## Flexible Top-Carry Handle

The defining feature of the **Medium Flex** version is its flexible top-carry handle.

This gives the carrier a softer and slightly more streamlined profile than the Medium Rigid Maeve, while still providing a convenient way to move the carrier between your home and vehicle.

The Medium Flex carrier and canopy weigh approximately **4.8 kg**, increasing to approximately **5.53 kg** when the Side Impact Protection guard is fitted.

For owners who want the additional interior length of a medium Maeve without moving to the heavier rigid-frame version, the Medium Flex provides a useful middle ground.

## Easy Access from Either Side

Getting a dog or cat comfortably into a carrier isn’t always the easiest part of travelling, particularly if your pet has already worked out that the appearance of a carrier usually means a trip somewhere.

The Maeve’s canopy can be opened from either side, giving you much more flexibility when getting your pet settled.

The canopy can also be removed completely when you want to create a more open resting space.

Tavo’s **MagneTech secure snap™ buckles** help secure the canopy while still allowing convenient access when required.

Two interior pet leashes of different lengths are also included. High-strength alloy attachment points are positioned on both sides of the carrier interior, providing additional flexibility when using the Maeve with the canopy open.

## A Familiar Bed at Home and in the Car

One of the cleverest aspects of the Maeve is that it doesn’t have to disappear into a cupboard when you’re not travelling.

Instead, it can become part of your pet’s everyday environment.

Used as a comfortable resting space at home, the Maeve gives your dog or cat an opportunity to become familiar with its shape, scent and bedding long before it’s time to get into the car.

When you do need to travel, their familiar carrier can simply be moved to the vehicle and clicked onto the installed base.

That continuity is particularly useful for pets that aren’t naturally enthusiastic about travelling or being placed inside unfamiliar carriers.

## Two Mattress and Liner Sets Included

The Maeve Medium Flex comes with **two padded mattresses** and two different liner and mattress cover sets.

The standard set uses a durable fabric coordinated with the exterior of the carrier and is ideal for everyday use.

A second plush comfort set provides a softer surface for pets that appreciate somewhere particularly cosy to curl up.

The comfort fabric receives a zinc-based antimicrobial treatment that helps protect against odour-causing bacteria.

Both liner and mattress cover sets can be removed and machine washed, while the padded mattresses are designed to be easy to rinse and wipe clean.

It’s a sensible arrangement for real-world pet ownership, where muddy paws, shedding hair, crumbs and the occasional accident are simply part of travelling with animals.

## Premium Merle Finish

Finished in **Merle**, the Maeve Medium Flex has a smart and understated appearance that feels much closer to premium luggage than a conventional pet carrier.

Vegan leather detailing adds a subtle luxury finish without making the design unnecessarily flashy.

The materials have practical benefits too. Tavo uses fabrics that are naturally flame-resistant without harmful added fire-retardant chemicals, while the canopy fabric provides **UPF 50+ sun protection**.

Rubberised feet underneath the carrier help minimise unwanted movement when the Maeve is being used away from the vehicle.

The result is a product that looks premium but has clearly been designed to cope with the realities of travelling with a dog or cat.

## Add the Roscoe Stroller for a Complete Travel System

The Maeve can also become part of a larger Tavo pet travel system.

It’s compatible with the separately available **Tavo Roscoe Pet Stroller Frame**, allowing the carrier to move directly from the vehicle base onto the stroller.

Instead of taking your pet out of the car seat and transferring them into another carrier or stroller, the Maeve itself can remain their familiar travelling space.

This can be particularly useful during longer days out, holidays, shopping trips or when travelling with pets that can’t comfortably walk for extended periods.

It also means owners can build the system gradually, starting with the Maeve pet car seat before adding the Roscoe stroller frame if required.
