This review is from: Diono Radian Travel Bag, Black (Baby Product)
Update: Diono sent me a new bag which fixes my only real problem with the product. There are now two strap attachment points on one side of the bag. So it now works great in shoulder bag mode. The really amazing part of this is that when talking to customer service months ago I said that if they ever fixed this problem on the bag I would like a new one. And then it just shows up last week.
Original review:
So first off this is a substantial bag that fits the Radian 120 like a glove. The fit on the width and height is perfect, there is a bit extra on the depth at the top but this leaves you enough room to shove the rear facing booster and a jacket in if needed.
The materials are very thick with firm foam padding in select areas. Inside there are three skinny pockets that will let you stash the shoulder straps at check-in. Again this is heavy luggage fabric not gym bag fabric. After one trip with the bag as checked luggage there are no signs of wear. I expect...Read more
Make sure to pack the straps when traveling!,

On the box is says "Removable straps for easy packing" but it should say "Make sure to pack the shoulder straps when traveling". On our way to our destination, the straps on the outside wasn't a problem. However, on our way back, when we picked up our bag, one strap was missing and the other was barely hanging on. When I actually picked up the bag with that strap, it instantly broke off. The hooks look like they are made of a strong metal, but they seem to be no match for the average airline baggage handler. The bag itself was intact.
I was quite ticked off since this was the first time we used this bag. I called Diono with intentions of getting the shoulder straps replaced and the lady immediately just said that she would send a whole new bag for free. Perhaps this wasn't the first time they have had this problem.
Otherwise, I found this bag very helpful. Yes the carseat is heavy, but I didn't find the bag as a backpack all that difficult and I'm only 5 feet...Read more
very specific fit,

Just took our new Radian carseat on two plane trips, the bag did well. I was traveling alone with a toddler, so I had to get kid+stroller+carryon+big checked bag+carseat from the car in the parking lot to the check-in counter. Last time it was easy, just snap the infant carseat onto stroller, this time I had to try something else, in comes the backpack mode of this travel bag.
Pros: It was better than single shoulder strap carrying of the carseat (yes it was heavy, but that is the carseat itself at that weight the only thing that would help is backpacking padded waist strap).
It fits the Radian XTS with rear facing attachment and blanket/jacket and other things that made my check-in bag overweight- and it is free luggage.
The placement of the back pack straps - without over doing it construction wise, having the straps attach midway up the bag made sense, yes the bag rides high that way, but if it were attached higher it would be hitting the back of...Read more
