With the purchase of the FAA-Approved harness system for toddlers/children, we wanted to do away with the bulk of lugging the carseat through the airport. We found that even with gate-checking a car seat, it can get pretty banged up and abused in transit. For our most recent trip (round-trip, one connection each way), we used this Car Seat Travel Bag and found it to be a nice way to check in the car seat along with our other luggage. After a couple of practice runs, getting our big seat into and out of the bag was easy. The side zip pocket was perfect for stashing some car window shades and the strap (for check in). So far, in our limited use, the bag seems quite sturdy and the strap makes the heavy car seat "sling-able" for short walks.

I got this bag to save my carseat from the unknown that is under a commercial airplane. My convertable carseat is HUGE and it fit inside with no problems. We packed diapers and extra books inside the bag and everything arrived safely with no rips, stains, or damage. However, the bag is not waterproof. We flew during a heavy rainstorm and when we arrived at our destination and got our seat it was SOAKED along with everything else in the bag. My son had to ride in a soaking wet carseat until we reached our destination. I will use this bag again for our next trip but if they are predicting rain I will probably but my carseat in a garbage bag first.

This bag does the job in protecting the car seat. It's big and we could pack lots of extra stuff in it. But the description says it has wheels. It hasn't. It also took forever to be delivered.

I purchased this product to travel with/ protect my son's car seat. Be carefull when ordering as I specifically ordered the delux model and was sent the regular model -- the difference: WHEELS!!!
I was disappointed when I finally received my product and noticed it wasn't the delux, but I needed it for my trip, so I dealt with it.

We have used this travel bag for our Britax Marathon & it fits well. There's plenty of space in the "seat" of the carseat to store a few extra things.

The fabric is thick, but seems to tear easily on airline luggage loading equipment. After our first trip, it looked as if someone had taken a knife and sliced 2 inch holes in the fabric in spots. We've used the bag (without fixing the holes) multiple times since & they have not spread/frayed. I blamed this on the airline baggage handlers and not so much the fabric.

If I were to purchase another carseat travel bag, I would definitely find one with WHEELS. This bag does not have wheels, & it is very cumbersome to carry. The shoulder strap is handy, but I am 5'2" and it is almost too much to bear trying to carry this through the airport. Wheels are a necessity, even if it costs a bit more.

The zipper is strong & sturdy. The shoulder strap clips that attach it to the bag are plastic, but have held up well for the 10+ trips we've used this bag.

The fabric is very thick woven shiny type material. Other than the cuts/tears/whatever they are that happened during luggage handling, the fabric has held up well. There are no wear-spots or fading in color. I don't know if the fabric is prone to tearing like ours did, or if it was from catching on something in baggage handling. For this reason, I was glad the bag was on the cheaper side. I didn't really worry about it.

If you're looking for a 1 time bag, I would get this bag. It serves it's purpose well for what it costs. If you're a heavy traveler like we are, then I would suggest paying a bit more and getting a bag with wheels. Makes life MUCH easier!

We bought this for our first airplane trip with our 6 month old - it worked great and the car seat arrived with no dings or damage.

We bought this and a more expensive version of the same thing, and both held up equally well and were equally easy to use on our cross-country trip. We put a Britax Marathon seat into this bag and it fit well.

We purchased this as a gift for young missionaries who just had their first child. They say they really appreciate this gift & it's valuable enough to take overseas with them.

This got us through the airport, but I didn't like how flimsy the material was. I don't think it would last more than 5 flights. Maybe I'm wrong.....we'll see.

We bought this bag so we could check our son's carseat with our other luggage when flying. His Britax Companion (bucket-style) seat fits well in the bag with some room to spare for other items, but the bag ripped in a couple of spots on its first trip, so it's already sporting some duct tape repairs. Also, the handle is very poorly placed/designed, making it hard for average-sized adults to roll it on its wheels without hunching over a considerable amount.
