J.L. Childress Wheelie Car Seat Bag - Travel Bag for Airplane, Fits Most Baby & Infant Car Seats, Boosters, & Carriers, Airport Accessories for Gate Check or Baggage Check, Dual Rubber Wheels - Black

I own both this bag and the Simple Being Car Seat Travel Bag that is $75 less. See attached picture to compare. First, I will say 100% you should get a car seat bag with 4 wheels. I started with a bag without wheels and it's a huge pain trying to physically carry your car seat along with luggage and a child. Get something with 4 wheels and justify the price by stuffing it with as much extra luggage as you can (airlines check these for free). Second, I'd recommend spending the extra $75 on this J.L. Childress Deluxe. As you can see from the pictures, this bag is bigger, it stands up by itself, it is WAY more durable and overall it rolls better. If you only want to spend $50, this Simple Being bag will get the job done, but it doesn't stand up by itself, it doesn't roll well, it's not as durable and the straps get caught in the wheels. Traveling with little kids is already hard enough, spend the extra money to make it easier by getting this bag.

My wife and I recently took a trip to Arizona, and this bag was an absolute Godsend. It made transporting our car seat through the airport so much easier. The dual rubber wheels roll smoothly, and the bag is sturdy enough to protect the seat from getting damaged or dirty during the trip. It fit our car seat perfectly, and being able to wheel it around instead of carrying it was such a relief. For any parents traveling with kids, this is a must-have accessory. I’m so glad we had it on our trip—it made the journey much less stressful.

This thing is hard to maneuver. It also had holes all in the fabric by the time we picked it up at the airport on our first trip with it. The company was kind enough to replace it, even though it was against their policy. The second one we received was no better. It had holes all in it and the wheels were ripped off/completely missing when we picked up from baggage claim on the second trip we used it on.

This bag fit our Nuna Revv perfectly! It was a little difficult to roll with all of our other bags, but overall it worked well. It is light-weight but protected out car seat well.

The wheels on this car seat bag make maneuvering through the airport a breeze. Can fit one car seat, plus we also fit a booster and a pack of diapers in it for our trip- once we arrived it folded down nice and was easy to store under the seat for the remainder of our trip. The material of the bag is high quality and protected the car seats well.

Ugh. I really really don’t know how to rate this. First off, I recognize & understand that NOTHING is safe from damage when traveling by air. I don’t know what the baggage handlers do down there, but most of my luggage only lasts 1-3 flights before it is junk- so I don’t know why I expected differently for this?? First let me start by saying my daughter has a Graco Extend2Fit. She is 41 inches so it is set decently tall, and it was a STRUGGLE to get the car seat to fit and zip it shut. 10/10 do NOT recommend waiting until 5am the morning of your flight to test this out. Learn from my mistakes- seriously! Additionally- you have to take the car seat out of the bag at security, so we had to go through the whole “you pull these two sections together and I will wrench on this zipper like hell to try to get it shut” twice. Not fun. Once you do have it zipped shut though (assuming your car seat fits), rolling around the airport with it was an absolute breeze. It rolls beautifully, the swivel wheels make it easy to turn and navigate. I do wish it had an extendable handle, but just a minor inconvenience. We gate checked the car seat, so honestly I don’t even know HOW it sustained the damage it did, but on its very first flight it got a rip in the material. Not enough to make me worry about the safety of my daughters car seat (in that regard I do feel like this is a quality car seat bag- it did feel very protected, and since it’s in there so snug I don’t think there was any jostling around or anything), but enough to be frustrated since this thing cost a small fortune, in my opinion. After we landed & discovered the rip, I tried taking it up with Delta but they considered it “normal wear & tear” and I was SOL. So like I said: I really don’t know how to write this review. Did it do its job? Yes. Did it survive ONE flight without being damaged? No. Is that the products fault? I don’t know. Is it worth the hefty price tag? Meh. I don’t know about that either.

So happy that I went ahead and spent the extra money for this. It made traveling through several big airports much easier than if I would’ve used a luggage strap, plus I was able to throw a few random items like my child’s blanket and jacket inside the bag also. The bag protected the car seat way better than one of the thin (red) gate check bags. From now on I’ll always spend the extra money for this level of protection vs the cheap thin bags that shred to pieces after one use.

For summer traveling, we purchased this wheeled car seat bag. This is our second car seat bag of this brand, but the first with wheels. We liked the first one (backpack style) for our infant car seat, but needed a bigger bag for our toddler convertible car seat. This bag fit and worked perfectly the first time we used it. The next time we flew, the bag had one broken wheel when we picked it up at our destination from the oversized baggage area (see last photo). Despite this, we still used it since the back two wheels were intact. However, after each flight, the bag broke again. Two wheels are now broken plus a zipper broke / got off track (see photos). There are tears in the bag, but mostly along the bottom where the wheels are. Inside, the hard plastic piece the front wheels were attached to had broken / shattered. Maybe this would not have happened if ALL four wheels had the corner guards - not just the back ones. Our first J.L. Childress car seat bag (without wheels) was more durable for flight travel. We would not recommend this wheelie deluxe bag at full price ($134.99) nor for using on multiple flights. If you can get a big discount, then I can say it’s great for using only to plane-side or gate-check a convertible car seat once or twice. We are looking for a new car seat bag for our future travel.

Muy buena calidad, práctica y cupo perfecto mi modelo de silla para carro de la nuna tavo travel system

Esta maleta es muy práctica y ligera, protege muy bien la silla y no hace que pese mas y así puede viajar en avión y no pagar de más por el peso extra

The zippers broke in 2 places before we even got on our first flight. Couldn't use on our return flight due to the damages.

We use it for a joie steadi R129. It's easy to fit in the car seat and take it out quickly.

We heard of several horror stories of airlines/baggage companies trashing child seats, so we bought this for a flight to the US. The seat (group 1) fits well and is held in place with an inner strap. There's plenty of space in side to stuff blankets, push chair covers, jackets etc. The wheels are pretty good, it's not the easiest thing to wheel through a busy airport due to the width and low centre of gravity (it tries to tip back upright unless lent over far enough). So it's maybe easier to load this onto a luggage trolley for long walks. On our return flight it seems like this bag fell off the baggage truck or got dragged across tarmac/a hard surface, because there was a HUGE scuff down the front which went through the (thick) cordura material in one place, and meant the seat was slightly scratched on a plastic panel and the seat fabric took a slight nick, which we sewed up. But without this bag I hate to think what state the seat would've been in - trashed cover & possibly broken plastic parts. A bit of duct tape sorted out the hole fine. It's not padded, so big impacts could still damage the structure of the seat, but it means the bag isn't too bulky if you need to fold it away in the boot.
