The iCrate Double Door and the Life Stages Double Door Seem Similar - What's the Difference?
We wrote a previous entry about the differences between the iCrate and Life Stages crates and you may want to check out that article first. This article goes into more detail about the differences between the double door versions of the iCrate and Life Stages crates.
Our opinion is that the Life Stages crate is a tougher and more durable product, and that the differences are significant beyond how they appear on paper. For example, the wire pieces that hold the crate together (they clip over the top and sides at the front and back) are much longer on the Life Stages crate.
Our experience is that this makes it much harder for a dog to exploit the folding mechanism and escape from the crate. If you think your dog may be a bit of a Houdini, we recommend the Life Stages model.
