  • I initially bought this but after traveling with it, I would prefer a stroller check bag with cushion. Nov 17, 2023

  • Nice to have. Makes it super easy to find. It's just a bit inconvenient to have to load your stroller into a bag with visible id tags at the end of the gate way while juggling a kid and baggage. Jul 04, 2023

  • Good for keeping your stroller and accessories clean during flight. Strong material. Not an essential item in my opinion but if your looking for a travel bag this one is great Dec 09, 2022

  • Loved having this for travel. it was use and it was simple to have on hand when providing the stroller for gate check. gave me access to the stroller while at the airport, but also able to protect it Sep 12, 2022

  • Does the trick when traveling! Not fancy or anything. Apr 05, 2021

  • Cheap and gets torn up after just a couple uses. No padding so it doesn’t really protect other than making sure other objects don’t snag the fabric or canopy of a stroller. Mar 10, 2021

  • I use my stroller in the airport and when we get to the gate, pop it in this bag and it makes gate checking the umbrella stroller for the flight super easy. And we can use it right away upon landing. Oct 19, 2020

  • Not going to last long term after going through several bag checks. Keeps the stroller clean from carousel dirt but doesn’t provide any protection to prevent damage to the actual stroller. Aug 03, 2020

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

    Saved our stroller a few times from being thrashed on the airplane! Feb 13, 2020

  • Perfect for the airport! We used this on our trip to Disney Aulani in Hawaii. Stroller cake back with no scratches and easy to fold up bag and put away. Dec 29, 2019

  • It does its job. We have used this for about 3 or 4 round trips and it is on its last leg. The fabric is thin and plastic like. For the price it was good. Dec 08, 2019

  • Worked great to protect our stroller when flying. We were worned by a family friend to cover our items. I'm glad we did. The bag ripped and was dirty but that we expected due to airline being rough. Sep 05, 2019

    Ripped on the first trip Aug 03, 2019

  • It serves its purpose, and for the price it’s a good layer of protection, but we’ve used it on 3 trips and have to add duct tape to it every time cause there are always rips and holes. Jun 18, 2019

  • It worked fine to protect our stroller but the handle broke the first time we used it with our lightweight stroller. May 08, 2019

  • Helped to keep our strollers clean. Downside: not super sturdy fabric, often ties become undone. Mar 23, 2019

  • When you gatecheck your stroller, it might get grease on it from the cargo section of the plane. It folds down into a tiny pouch so storage isn't a problem. Feb 15, 2019

  • Worked perfectly for flight. Packs into its own little bag. Jan 13, 2019

  • This was great when travelling but our stroller was a little big even though it said it would fit. I have a Graco Breeze Jan 02, 2019

  • Its useful to keep my stroller clean but it is an extra step Oct 04, 2018

  • I fly often and this bag has held up over time. I like that it becomes small and easy to put away when not in use Aug 30, 2018

    Helpful to protect your stroller. Not "protect", but not get back covered in dirt... Aug 16, 2018

  • Flimsy bag, but was enough to keep umbrella stroller from getting dirty. Do like how it comes with a bag to store cover in. Aug 10, 2018

  • Works well for travel, we have the standard size one. Make sure your stroller fits! Jul 10, 2018

  • I used this on a trip to gate check my UppaBaby G-luxe. A dark oil stain still seeped through on to the stroller canopy, but overall, the travel bag held up well. Great for the price! Jun 23, 2018

    Great for Gate CHecks May 31, 2018

  • Bought this last min for a plane ride and a brand new stroller. Soo glad, it was easy to pack up (into its own attached bag) and a pretty durable fabric. Perfectly kept our stroller safe. May 30, 2018

  • good for the stroller we have, keep our stroller from scrath May 28, 2018

  • It tore the first time we used it.. a waste of money. May 13, 2018

    Great way to protect the g-luxe. Best if you scrunch it all down (like putting on tights) while walking down the jetway, then fold the stroller, make it stand in the bag and shimmy it up and closed! Apr 16, 2018

  • Protected our umbrella stroller as we traveled across the country & back! So glad we had it. Apr 07, 2018

  • Good quality. Love this bag for airline travel! Keeps the stroller clean and is easy to find once you land. Mar 19, 2018

    Great concept, but bag ripped after first use. Stroller was not damaged, so bag did it's job. Feb 16, 2018

  • This did its job. It kept our umbrella stroller protected while flying! It also make the umbrella stroller easier to carry. I recommend this for airplane travel with an umbrella stroller Jan 26, 2018

  • I think its worth it to save the wear and tear on your stroller and is lightweight and packs up. But it'll get beat up, holes in, etc. Maybe it could have been a little more durable? Oct 19, 2017

  • Borrowed a friend's for a flight. It kept dirt, rain, and dust off, but it doesn't offer any protection from the rough baggage handlers. I wish they made it larger for regular strollers. Oct 12, 2017

  • Relatively inexpensive and necessary when traveling with most umbrella strollers. Feb 14, 2017

    I use it each time i travel. A bit overpriced for what it is, but I suppose that's not a big deal in the grand scheme of stroller budgets. Jan 25, 2017

  • This is great!!!! Not only does it keep my stroller safe from wear and tear during a flight, but I can also find it very easily in the lineup of strollers on the jetway! Mar 20, 2016

  • Held up great on one trip so far, easily has space for bigger umbrella strollers too May 22, 2015
