5.0 out of 5 stars Makes it easy, keeps it clean.
You know when the Gate attendants thinks it is a good idea . . . it is.

1. it is bright red, you'll see it in the sea of gate check stuff.
2. it keeps your stroller clean - my red bag is very dirty after 2 vacations, and 2 lend outs.
3. it make is easier to carry your folded up stroller*
4. you can stuff other stuff in it that you don't...

3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay for the price
I purchased two of these bags for a trip. I bought one for my chicco umbrella stroller and another for my pack n play. My pack n play comes with a bag as most do now but I wanted the added protection. Anway...they survived but I'm not sure how many more trips I will be able to use them for as the seams have ripped in a few areas. When I checked our bags i had the fragile...

3.0 out of 5 stars It's okay for the price, April 20, 2008
This review is from: JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red (Baby Product)
I purchased two of these bags for a trip. I bought one for my chicco umbrella stroller and another for my pack n play. My pack n play comes with a bag as most do now but I wanted the added protection. Anway...they survived but I'm not sure how many more trips I will be able to use them for as the seams have ripped in a few areas. When I checked our bags i had the fragile tags put on them as well. They do fold up nicely in the little bag attached. Depending on how much you travel you may want to invest in something a little more durable but if it's a once a year trip you'll probably be fine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes it easy, keeps it clean., December 11, 2009

This review is from: JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red (Baby Product)
You know when the Gate attendants thinks it is a good idea . . . it is.

2. it keeps your stroller clean - my red bag is very dirty after 2 vacations, and 2 lend outs.
3. it make is easier to carry your folded up stroller*
4. you can stuff other stuff in it that you don't "need" on the plane - like jackets.
5. it is great to use to store your stroller when you aren't using it.

* Note: We found that getting the stroller all packages up outside of the gate was easier . . . doing in on a runway or by the plane is just annoying, makes you all sweaty and hard w/ a baby/toddler.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Idea But Tears Easily, January 19, 2008
By M. J. POVICH (CA, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red (Baby Product)
This is a great idea, as these bags fold up nicely into a small, zippered pouch for storage in your carry on luggage while not on the plane. It definitely protected our stroller and baby seat (with the other gate check bag for baby seats) from getting dirty in the cargo hold. The downside is that the fabric tears very easily, and both of our bags got several tears in them after 3 or 4 flights.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gets Job Done, January 25, 2010
By Melisa Smithwick "Shop Until I Drop" (Stockbridge, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red (Baby Product)
We purchased this bag to keep our stroller from getting dirty and to keep our stroller for accidentally popping open and having someone break it if that happened. We have used it on several trips but the aggravation of getting our stroller in it proved to be too much. This bag did protect our stroller from what we wanted it for and so it gets good marks there. But it will not hold up if you travel by plane a lot! And if you have a stroller that is even an inch too big you will be fighting with the bag, as it is mostly made for a compact umbrella stroller.

We have a Peg Perego Pliko and while it fits, it is a nightmare to get in and out of the bag, just an FYI.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just an Orange Bag, January 12, 2009

This review is from: JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red (Baby Product)
It protected the stroller, but the bag itself was ripped open after one trip (with 4 flights). I reviewed the car seat bag the same way and I recommend trying to tape up the bottom or corners beforehand or somehow reinforce the bag because the luggage people will drag it and it isn't built for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Did the job!, December 4, 2009
This review is from: JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red (Baby Product)
We bought a stroller bag and a car seat bag for our baby's first flights. They kept the stroller & car seat clean and easy to find. Not the most durable material, but better than nothing and fine for gate checking.

FYI, our stroller (a Baby Jogger City Mini) didn't fit in the stroller bag. But it did fit in the car seat bag, and our car seat (a Graco SnugRide 32) fit in the stroller bag -- so we just switched them, and it worked out fine.

3.0 out of 5 stars saves your stroller from getting torn and dirty, September 12, 2008
By Carol (Lansing, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red (Baby Product)
Just used this for a flight and was happy to see that even after being tossed around in the luggage area of the plane my stroller was not dirty or torn thanks to this bag. The bag itself however did get quite dirty and had a few small tears. It is not a very durable bag as other reviewers have said - but it did the trick. Would it stand up to use for multiple trips - probably not.

Great product! Keeps baby umbrella stroller clean and protected at gate checks. Let's you spot your stroller right away. Folds into a samall zippered pouch that fits anywere. I use it with my Graco IPO umbrella stroller.

Warning: this is only for umbrella type foldable strollers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well with one hang up, August 19, 2009
By Kim Foley (Miami , Fl USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red (Baby Product)
We have used this bag on numerous flights over the past year. The bag has really helped to keep our stroller clean while under the plane. The only problem we have encountered is collecting the stroller after the flight. On two different occasions the baggage handlers have been surprised by the bag and don't bring it up to the jetway right away. Instead they contact supervisors to find out what the bag is. Despite having a gate check tag and the bag even having big white letters stating Gate Check this still happened. Eventually we were reunited with our stroller but ended up loosing precious connection time.

5.0 out of 5 stars As advertised, January 3, 2009
This review is from: JL Childress Gate Check Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red (Baby Product)
It's a bag and it fits my Combi stroller just fine. Works as advertised. That being said, I'm not really sure I needed a gate check bag -- I feel the stroller would have been just fine without it.
