  • It works! It is never easy traveling with today's heavy, big car seats. But this bag does help. It also makes airline check in faster and easier. Oct 19, 2020

    I used this once and it was ok. The tying code at the top broke after 1 use but that was all I need. I had to bring a car seat to my parents and left it there. Oct 14, 2020

  • I was able to use this for one flight and it tore open. I wouldn’t recommend this particular bag because it is difficult to carry and poorly made. Oct 14, 2020

  • This is a cheap alternative to a lot of travel bags. It's great for in a pinch, but not high quality Sep 30, 2020

  • We travel internationally at least twice a year and these bags have been great. They are easy to use, pretty roomy, they’ve held up pretty good and because of the red color they are easy to spot! Sep 11, 2020

  • We used this maybe 5 or 6 times and it's already ripping. I understand airlines are rough on baggage; however, we expected this to last longer. It's also hard to carry & hard to put seat in it alone. Sep 04, 2020

  • easy bag to carry, or put on other luggage to lug around. Sep 01, 2020

  • This car seat bag has more than saved our car seats when traveling! It’s sturdy and keeps our car seats dry, clean, and safe. It also has straps to carry like a backpack which is key when in airports. Aug 19, 2020

  • Great for travel. This bag is huge. The red color does show marks easily if flying and I wish they sold Black for this reason. But overall a great idea to protect car seat during air travel Aug 08, 2020

  • Really didn’t protect it (need padded for true protection) and tore after one trip. Jun 23, 2020

  • It's okayyyy. Lasted about two flights before getting ripped. I still think they're needed to keep carseat protected from dings & handling, but be prepared to buy multiple replacements for freq flyers May 16, 2020

  • Does not perfect the seat at all. May 16, 2020

  • Must have for traveling! Saves seat from getting any type of dirt when stowed away! May 14, 2020

  • Wish the material was a little thicker but sufficient enough to protect our fabric car seat bag from germs, rips and tears when checking in our car seat at the gate. May 12, 2020

  • I like it to protect the car seat but on our first strip the tightening string to close, broke. Good thing it was cheap. May 03, 2020

    perfect for flights! I do not love how dirty and scratched up our carseat gets while being loaded/unloaded from the plane. Plus easier to make our your carseat from the others. Aug 03, 2020

  • This is a cheap but effective way to gate check strollers or car seats when flying. Cheap enough that when they rip/get destroyed by rough handling that it doesn’t break the bank to replace. Jun 05, 2020

  • Must have for travel May 08, 2020

  • We use this every time we travel! Apr 22, 2020

  • We bought two because they work so well. They are still in good working condition after years and years of traveling. Easy to spot when you pick them up at the airport too. Feb 09, 2020

  • Works well for its purpose! Jan 26, 2020

    • Deb P.

    • United States of America

    We ended up buying a different brand off Amazon since this one was too thin and we wanted one with a more secure zipper closer Jan 26, 2020

  • You will use this so much you will probably need a replacement so just get two right off the bat. This is a total must have and a great affordable gift Jan 01, 2020

  • 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

    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

    • Aly M.

    • Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

    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
