A good option for checking your carseat,

This review is from: JL Childress Wheelie Car Seat Travel Bag, Black (Baby Product)
I bought this for a recent family vacation to LA, and this was a godsend. The car seat we use is very large (Britax-Marathon), and I was skeptical that I could find something to fit it. What I wanted to avoid, was the plastic bag solution - which always left my seat looking like it took a beating.
This cover did the trick - and performed well when using it to check my car seat. Here are some pro's and con's.
Pros:
- Will fit most large car seats (smaller ones too!)
- Makes traveling with a large seat easier as you can wheel the seat around rather than carry it.
- Protects seat from scuffs and damage while flying.
- Usually has enough room to throw a few extra things in with the seat.
Cons:
- Does not really wheel like luggage, and sometimes will feel like you are just dragging it along.
- The material seems fairly thin - I don't know how many trips this will hold up.
Even with the cons - I am...Read more

My car seat bag fell apart the very first time I used it....,

My Britax Blvd car seat fit so easily inside the bag, I was so excited to finally have found a bag with wheels that was not a struggle to put the car seat into. The very first, and only time, I used the bag the entire metal bottom part fell off from the bag when I handed it over to be check as luggage. I would not have believed it, if I had not seen it literally fall apart before my very eyes. The only other things I had inside the bag with the car seat were our coats, so weight was not the issue.
This was the biggest waste of money I have ever spent on a car seat bag. Maybe the bag I got was just defective, I don't know. Once I got to my finally destination, I had to drag the carseat bag across the floor with my suitcase and it ruined the bottom of the bag further, as the metal bars with wheels were no longer there.

Couldn't have traveled without it,
August 18, 2006 C. Hack (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - See all my reviews
As an expat living in Malaysia, I'm constantly traveling back and forth from Asia to the US with my 2-year-old daughter. Typically, my husband flies out with us and lugging the car seat isn't too much of a problem. However, he has to return earlier for work and I'm typically on my own during the way back.
I didn't know how I was going to manage carrying the car seat (and my daughter DEFINITELY travels better when we have the seat) so I purchased this carrier. It's big enough to fit the Britex Roundabout and my carry on bag (which I put on the car seat, inside the carrier). I was able to pull the carrier with my bag inside while pushing the stroller.
I would have rated it a '5' however, the durability was a bit questionable as one of the bars that supports the bottom of the carrier 'popped' out while I was pulling the bag. This is probably because you're not suppose to put anything in it except for the car seat, so perhaps I overloaded it? I was able to fix it...Read more
