 Great item for the price November 6, 2007

We just got back from a trip that included four separate flights (2 to get there, 2 to get back). This bag was a life saver. I didn't know until shortly before the trip what we should do with the car seat, so when I found out we had to check it as checked luggage (we didn't have a ticket for our 15 month old or he could have counted it as his carry-on), I started looking for a solution.
This bag was reasonably priced, roomy, and durable. We put his car seat, portable booster seat, and diaper bag filled with diapers and books into it. With all this inside the bag ended up being kind of heavy because it is so roomy, but the strap held up well - no sign of the stitching or the bag itself starting to tear. Because of the weight, wheels might have been nice, but it was our choice to fill it so full, and the bag was only $15. The airplane luggage handling isn't always so kind to wheels anyway. I saw the ones with wheels, opted for the cheaper version without wheels, and I'm not sorry. If you have a family's worth of luggage, often you rent a cart at the airport anyway.
I would like to note that the pictures make it look like there is some sort of rigidity to the back and maybe some of the sides of the bag, but there isn't. It is just a heavy weight coated nylon or something, like a good duffel bag.
So... good value for the price - I highly recommend if you don't do a ton of traveling with kids! For one thing, once they get older you use their seat on the plane and there are other solutions for transporting it (strapping their seat to your carry-on, for example). That is a big reason why we opted for a lower-cost item when you have to buy so much other stuff the first few years that you only use for a short while. I was very pleased to find this product!

pros: fair price, britax decathlon carseat fits easily into it with plenty of room to spare, shoulder strap is nice for carrying b/c it's bulky,
cons: none, unless you count that the material is not SUPER durable quality, but it didn't tear on my 4 airplane trips and is still in good as new shape, so it was definitely worth the price for me.

I bought this for a trip my daughter took on the train. It came in the mail the day before she left. It is made with heavy material and seems to be built for more long term use. I could not get it to snap closed however. But that did not detract from how beautifully it kept my britax marathon seat protected! Would recommend.

This is the best car seat travel bag for the money on the market!! We looked for months to find a durable and affordable option, and this bag is both. It is made of a thick canvas material that you don't have to worry about ripping during transit. It also zips open from the bottom which makes it really easy to get your seat in and out. There is plenty of room in the bag to add any extra coats, toys, or blankets that you might need. If you are looking for a bag that is well made and easy to use, this is the one. We loved it!!
Great Value! March 26, 2008
We bought two of these bags to use on a trip to California. One held my son's infant seat and one held my older son's convertible car seat. Both fit in these bags very easily and there was room to throw a few more things in as well. They held up excellent and I am sure we will be using them for many more trips. The handle really helped with carrying them thru the airport. Excellent bag for the price!
