  • This bag worked for our flight but is already starting to rip a little at the seams Jun 25, 2019

  • We’ve used this on 3 trips and it has kept our car seats safe. It gets a new holes in it on every trip, and we have duct tape all over it, but can’t really complain for the price. Jun 18, 2019

  • Prefect for protecting the stroller from baggage. I always gate check the stroller, but it still gets banged up. This bag prevents the scratches and stains common when the stroller is put in baggage Apr 29, 2019

  • its a HUGE bag. ok, not ideal Apr 26, 2019

  • Used it once and it had holes after one leg of our trip. Apr 12, 2019

  • These did not hold up very well. The bags ripped after one use round trip. I would not buy again. C Apr 05, 2019

  • its what you expect for the price- functional but rips and stains over time, Better for that to happen on the bag than the carseat though Mar 26, 2019

  • We travel a lot and we love these gate check bags. They help keep your car seat clean and they are easy to carry Mar 07, 2019

  • Don’t love! Does not fit stroller. Feb 26, 2019

  • It keeps the seat clean, but not protected from bumps and bangs. Has worked just fine on Doona carseat for gate check. I like that it can be folded up small to keep in bag until using at gate check. Feb 12, 2019

  • Works well for checking car seats. Material held up well. Feb 09, 2019

  • Loved the bright color and kept our car seat clean. Feb 08, 2019

  • So nice for travel! Saved my car seat Feb 07, 2019

    This bag has been great on our international travel. Helps protect our stroller from getting dirty. Would definitely recommend as airport staff tend to not care or be gentle about belongings. Jan 25, 2019

  • Bought it to protect our carseat while we flew! Got our carseat back with missing headrest (the bag didn't close enough I guess). It protected from airplane dirt and germs though! Jan 18, 2019

  • I have a similar bag for airplane travel. Highly recommend one if you're flying. Protects your car seat and allows you to stash diapers, blankets, etc inside the seat to save room in your luggage. Jan 17, 2019

  • Worked perfectly for flight. Packs into its own little bag. Used this for the infant bucket. Jan 13, 2019

  • The first time we used it, it got some minor scuff marks, but didn't rip and kept the car seat clean/safe. As long as the car seat is clean I don't care about the bag, it is doing it's job! Jan 09, 2019

  • Have used for two flights so far, and the bag has held up! Many reviews made us nervous, but seems to have done the job just fine. Jan 02, 2019

  • It did the trick when I needed to gatecheck our travel combo however was ripped by the time I received it on the other end. It did the job I just wish the material was more durable. Nov 28, 2018

    You get what you pay for. Very thin, non-lined bag for travel. Works fine for bus or train travel but would not recommend for airlines as it will not do much to protect your seat. Nov 24, 2018

  • This is key for traveling alone. I'll keep the baby in the car seat with the stroller through TSA, then gate check both. This bag is compact and does the job of protecting the car seat. Oct 29, 2018

    If you use this to check your car seat you don't know how your seat was cared for. If your seat was dropped it is no longer safe to use. Oct 26, 2018

  • This bad boy got beaten up in the airport. I'd like it to have reinforced sections, or maybe stronger material in general... Aug 27, 2018

  • Only used it once but it served its purpose! Nothing was damaged and bag is still in good shape! Aug 21, 2018

  • We've used this bag several times for gate checked car seats. I like that it is nice and compact and fits in stroller basket going through airport. It was actually more durable than I anticipated. Jul 11, 2018

    One trip and the bag already ripped. Feb 19, 2018

  • Used on our first trip & one bag ripped. don't fit a double stroller. Cheap enough to buy another though for the little traveling we do for now. Nov 10, 2017

  • This product is okay, after it’s 3rd use it started to rip a bit at the seam. Could be the airlines fault though, it is more convenient to use than a garbage bag however. Oct 18, 2017

  • This made my traveling a breeze ! None of our items got a single scratch. Oct 18, 2017

  • we used this for traveling from MN to AZ multiple times with 2 kids and it helped a ton. made it easier for us to find and it kept them cleaner than without Sep 15, 2017

  • Great inexpensive cover for car seat when traveling. Have had no issues with damage to our seat while using this with the airlines. Bag has remainder intact after multiple flights. Aug 23, 2017

  • It does the job. This helped keep my son's car seat clean but doesn't provide a ton of protection if it's being tossed around. The material is cheap but it's still working after a few trips. Jul 25, 2017

  • Good for checking in car seat at gate if you don't want germs and easy identification. Will not protect though. These do not last very long so it is better to buy a cheap one in my opinion. Jul 11, 2017

    Held up but isn't the best quality Apr 19, 2017

  • Bought mine on amazon! Helped prevent wear and tear damages to our baby gear check in items ! Bags are large and spacious Mar 04, 2017

  • works great to protect your car seat while flying Feb 28, 2017

  • Ripped after the second use. Feb 11, 2017

  • Super impressed by this product! The bag folds up into itself and is about the size of a phone. It has lots of room in it so you can put extra things (diapers etc) in it. And save luggage space. Jan 10, 2017

    • Dee R.

    • Altus, Oklahoma

    We travel a lot and this is a must. I love my carseat and stroller so we wanted to protect them while traveling. I love that my stuff is easy to see when picking up my gate check gear. Oct 14, 2016

  • Didn't use this for a car seat, but worked well to put our lightweight travel stroller in to be checked. Jan 04, 2016

  • doesn't hold up well... ripped after one flight. Aug 19, 2015

  • We've used this, it held up and kept our seat clean & easy to find when gate checking Jul 11, 2015

    • Anne K.

    Two words: LABEL THIS. It's hilarious when 7 show up cruising along the baggage carousel. Less hilarious when one unidentifiable one is yours. They're popular for a reason -- $12 for the win. Nov 01, 2014

  • It helped keep the carseat clean but did rip from 1 use under the plane. Oct 28, 2014

  • Wouldn't use this to gate check on a plane (not padded at all), but it has a strap on back, so handy to use if need to bring/carry the carseat on trains or buses. Inexpensive. Oct 03, 2014

    • Jamie G.

    • Royersford, Pennsylvania

    Ripped the first time we used it - we've had better luck with the plastic bags the airline provides! Sep 30, 2014

  • Used this to fly over the summer to put our carseat in. Worked out great. WARNING: You cannot check this. Gate check only. Jul 30, 2014

  • I bought this bag to protect my child’s car seat when checked as baggage at the airport. I’m sure it’s help to shield it from dirt and stains, however I wish the vinyl were stronger. There are already small rips in the bag after only a handful of uses, and it won’t guard against airport employees handling it in a rough manner. -Kim K. Jun 06, 2014

    Bright colored bag that's big enough to fit most car seats with the base attached, but gets damaged easily after the first use. However, it is an inexpensive version of the alternatives. Mar 21, 2014
