    It covers the carseat but is HUGE and provides no other protection as its just a bag. Oct 17, 2019

  • We travel a lot. Living in Hawaii, we're always island hopping. I am also a flight attendant so my family often follows me on layovers. This cover is awesome to identify my carseat and keep it safe. Oct 11, 2019

    It's a good lightweight bag for the carseat so it protects the carseat from getting dirty while it's been handled during travel. But it rips quite easily so only lasted about handful of times. Oct 01, 2019

  • we purchased two one for the car seat and one for the stroller. They were great to make sure your items didn’t get scuffed but they did get worn and torn with the trip back and forth. Sep 30, 2019

  • The material is very thin for the rough handling of the airline staff. After 1st use ours had small snags in material but the bag is still intact after many flights. Wish is was thicker though Sep 30, 2019

  • Great for the price. Has several duct taped holes after 50+ flights. But my carseat is still in excellent condition. Rather than cheap bag destroyed than our carseat. Sep 24, 2019

    It did the job for storing the car seat when we flew. However, after one round trip I noticed the bag was starting to rip. If you dont travel much it will work but of you do, get something better. Sep 21, 2019

    This offers no protection for your stroller or car seat. It is helpful for identifying purposes at baggie claim, but that is its only use. It will not protect from damage. Sep 13, 2019

  • Bag barely fit over my safety 1st convertible car seat, and took some work to get the car seat in it. If I had the chance to do it again, I would not purchase this again. Sep 13, 2019

  • Super easy to use. Love the straps for carrying and the bright colors for locating once at baggage claim. Sep 12, 2019

  • We lived overseas, and this product helped transport our car seat without touching the gross airport/airplane! It has no padding/protection, however, but it kept it clean very well. Sep 11, 2019

  • Lasted 3 trips before ripping. With the cost of the item, should have been more durable Sep 04, 2019

  • I used this bag for traveling and I’m so happy I did. When I went to go pick it up at baggage claim, the bag was dirty, ripped up and had holes on it but everything inside was protected! Aug 27, 2019

  • A must if you are traveling on an airplane with your car seat. It's not cushioned but it will keep travel ick off your stuff! Aug 22, 2019

  • Loved this for airline travel! Helped me keep the carseat clean when gate checked. Aug 21, 2019

  • This cover worked as intended but nearly shred after two flights. We were able to store a large bag of dirty clothes and rain boots in with the seat to avoid extra baggage fees - so that’s a win. Aug 21, 2019

  • It ok. After a few flights it ripped. Definitely not for a Uppa Baby Vista Aug 21, 2019

  • These bags protect our carseats, and keep them from being beat up through travel. They function so well, are tough, and fold up nicely! Aug 11, 2019

  • This is necessary to protect your car seat and stroller! I work for an airline, you don’t want to see what they do to your seats save yourself and buy this! Aug 06, 2019

  • I bought this because I travel a lot and it is big to fit my daughter's slimfit Graco car seat, but it isn't secure enough and the material is thin so my car seat got all wet on a rainy travel day. Aug 05, 2019

  • This is a must when traveling! The outside of the bag was filthy from the airport but my carseat was clean! Aug 01, 2019

  • It’s no necessary but I like that I have it. The airports do have clear plastic bags but I like that I have my own and it’s covered. Jul 31, 2019

    This is a great thing to have if you need it - works perfect and holds up well for travel! Jul 25, 2019

  • cheap and do the job. If it rips just buy a new one. In 3 years we have traveled alot and I can put two carseats in one bag and have never had a problem. Replaced it 2 times. It Jul 26, 2019

  • Served it's purpose to protect folding stroller from the elements. Very dirty on the flight trip home and a small hole, ended up throwing out instead of cleaning. I will purchase again for next trip. Jul 02, 2019

    • Allie B.

    • Swedesboro, New Jersey

    My husband was annoyed that I bought this because it was kind of a pain to plop the carseat & stroller base into the bag before our flights. Does give you piece of mind that it protects your stroller Mar 10, 2018

    • dumont, New Jersey

    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.

    • Brooklyn, New York

    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
