J.L. Childress Standard & Dual Stroller Travel Bag

I want and need a stroller bag, but the baby jogger city select bag is around $80. When I found this bag on sale for $25, I took it out in the store and was suprised to see my CITY SELECT stroller fit in perfectly, and with room to spare. It will easily fit the stroller, and the two seats, and stroller accessories. I needed to take one wheel, but that isn't a big deal. they easily snap on and off, and i actually prefer that to protect them more. A little heavy to carry with shoulder strap, but not so bad with handles. No big deal to put it on a luggage cart. Awesome way to protect my $$$$ stroller.

Given that the official BOB stroller bag is well over $100, and that this bag says it compatible with the BOB, I thought I'd give it a shot. Big mistake. While the bag is quite large, it is not large enough to fit a BOB unless you take all three wheels off. And once in the bag, I had no doubt that in that state our BOB would not survive a single flight.

It should be noted that the bag is simply a very large duffle bag. From the picture I assumed it had either some light padding or at some structural elements (e.g. rigid corners/edges) to help it hold its shape. Alas no, so the bag offers just slightly more protection than double bagging in heavy duty garbage bags (i.e. protect the contents from grime and abrasion). While that would be more than okay for our umbrella stroller or snap-n-go (which have a lot more plastic), given the important bits that stick out of a folded BOB (especially the flat metal shock brackets and front fork) I would be more surprised than not if a BOB didn't end up damaged during transport.

That said, it is a well made, gigantic duffle bag and I'm sure I'll find a use for it. But not, alas, for the purpose for which I purchased it.

I absolutely love this travel bag. I had purchased another bag which was more expensive, but hated it. I bought this Target bag a few months ago and we have used it on 3 long plane trips already. I own a Graco Metrolite stroller (travel system-not a dual stroller) and the bag is perfect with room to spare for things like diapers and such. This bag has held up well and we even spoke with one of the baggage handlers as he was taking it for a gate check and he said he wishes everyone had a bag like that because it's so much easier for them to load. I highly recommend this bag and for the price you can't beat it.
