5.0 out of 5 stars Good value for price - plus extra packing room!!, December 1, 2008

This review is from: JL Childress Padded Umbrella Stroller Travel Bag, Black (Baby Product)

I decided I needed a bag so we could check our our stroller when flying. We have a Maclaren Quest. Maclaren sells their own bag for a bit more money, so I decided to try this. It worked perfectly. We have used it for both domestic and international travel and it has held up well so far. The Quest fits in it with room to spare, so we are even able to throw toys and shoes in there to reduce some of the weight in our other bags - baby items like strollers and playpens don't count against you as pieces of baggage; defintely helpful in these days of airlines charging for extra bags! ;-)

We haven't taken it through security with us so I can't comment on how easy or not easy it is to maneuver (we generally have our car seat with us and just roll our son through the airport in that, so we don't need the stroller until we get to our destination).

4.0 out of 5 stars Fits Joovy Kooper, February 13, 2010

This review is from: JL Childress Padded Umbrella Stroller Travel Bag, Black (Baby Product)

I was a little worried about my Joovy Kooper fitting, because although it's an "umbrella" stroller, it's a bit larger than most. No worries, though, the bag is roomy enough to fit the stroller - but I did have to remove the wheels to make it fit lengthwise (not an issue for me).

The material is sturdy, and not too difficult to fold up and stick in my stroller's basket. The handlebars are great, although I am afraid to carry it using the shoulder strap because the clips that attach to the bag look like cheap plastic that will snap from the weight of the Joovy Kooper (my stoller is heavier than most umbella stroller, so it might not be an issue if you have a lighter stroller). I just took the shoulder strap off and only use the handlebars.

One thing I was surprised by was the padding. I re-read the item description, and it says it has a padded end. I didn't notice it said that when I first ordered it. I assumed the entire bag was padded. It's not, just the flip top end of the strollerbag. It's good for those who have a stroller that has all it's wheels at one end when it's folded. The Joovy Kooper has wheels on both ends when it's folded. If your stroller folds down and has wheels on both ends, only the padded end will protect your wheels. You might want to take your wheels off and store them in the padded end. The padded end will do well protecting your wheels, but the rest of the bag isn't padded and your frame in the unpadded part can still get banged around. Although, if it was a fully padded bag, it probably wouldn't be as easy to fold up and store while not in use.

I do wish the zipper went down lengthwise instead of around the top. But I knew that when I ordered it. It would be just little easier for my heavier stroller to have the bag open the other way. If you have a standard umbrella, the opening shouldn't bother you.

One last thing, apparently it can look a little like a duffle bag, and if you are going to gatecheck your stroller at the airport, there's a small chance it will get mixed up with regular luggage and not be waiting for you when you exit the plane. I bought some red ducktape and put a strip on the bag, then wrote "gate check" in permanent marker on the ducktape. Not super pretty, but we use this primarily for airports, and it gets the attention of the airline employees.

Overall, it does it's job, and has held up well. Joovy makes a stroller bag specifically for the Kooper, but it's almost double the cost of this. I would choose this over the Joovy bag anyday. It's sturdy and perfect for the price!

2.0 out of 5 stars Maclaren Techno XT does not fit!, April 16, 2009

This bag does not accommodate the 2008 Maclaren Techno XT. I tried to force the top of the bag closed, but it just wasn't happening. Bummer, the bag seems to be well constructed and the padding is good.
