 Functional product, cumbersome to use, better than nothing.. August 23, 2010
phx_kc (Phoenix, AZ)

Please note that you aren't buying a piece of luggage...this is simply a shaped, zippered canvas bag with wheels that makes it a slightly better option that having no wheels at all.
The Good:
1. Protected the carseat well. Fabric felt sturdy enough, seams and zipper seem sturdy.
2. Gives you a lot of extra space to store other items in - we stuffed this extra space with a TON of extra diapers, and didn't need to load our luggage with the extra bulk. Can load this up with anything you aren't afraid to get smashed up in transit.
The Bad:
1. My Britax Marathon carseat was too hard to fit into the bag. Design of the bag makes it impossible to fit easily. Had to muscle and shoe-horn my seat in, use both hands and two feet, plus the help of another person.
2. VERY hard to start the bag rolling. From a standing position, simply using the handle and straps provided (either the long strap that attaches via clips, or the short handle at the top of the bag) just drug the bag in a standing position, scraping the whole way. I ALWAYS had to kick the bottom of the bag while pulling forward to "get it started".
3. Awkard to wheel around. This bag tipped over every time we hit something with it.
4. VERY hard to wheel when you also have another piece of luggage to wheel. ANY bump by the other luggage sent this tipping over sideways, into people.
5. Small handle at the top isn't really useful. The top of the bag is at a height where you can't keep it low enough with the small handle to keep it rolling without popping back to standing position...so you stoop down about a foot to keep it low...the longer detachable strap is very long, but this makes the back of the bag almost ride on the ground.
OVERALL REVIEW: This could have been designed much, much better...problem is that carseats are light compared to their bulk. Designers should have actually tested this, provided better handle options, and figured out how to make it work as designed. However, better than just carrying it, and benefit of extra storage space makes this "JUST OK".
 Bottom broke after 3rd use August 4, 2010
A. Barton (Austin, TX)
The plastic wheel/stand molding beneath the bag broke after our third trip, so it needs to be carried everywhere. Because this damage occurred during travel the airline and manufacturer denied responsibility. Perhaps if exclusively gate checked this scenario can be avoided, so that you have contact with fewer "throwers" (baggage handlers) but good luck if you're traveling solo and also toting your baby supplies, a toddler and a stroller. Because it seals completely you can't use it to push the kids around, like some other products. I will be looking at other brands to replace it.
 Great Product July 30, 2010

My sister in law recommended this product to me and I just recently used it. It's great and convenient. Rolls great along with your luggage.
Very Handy and Big! July 16, 2010
Julieta Tord (Severna Park, MD United States)
Nice and roomy, fit my Britax Marathon well. It was easy to put on and use, did exactly what I wanted. It made it very easy to maneuver around the airport and protected the seat from dirt and damage. It also folds up to store well. I used it to check the seat through not just gate check and it did just fine.
Great way to check a few more items... July 9, 2010
Raquel C. Cook (Erzenhausen, Germany)
We only took this from the car to the airline counter to check it and from baggage claim to the car. It works well. I have a big infant car seat and I was able to fit it in this bag and I even was able to fit some more items in it as well. I packed four bottles of wine in a box and put it right down in the seat and checked it. It worked out great because I didn't have to worry about the wine weighing down my luggage. The bag and the wine held up pretty well on the 16 hour (roundtrip) from Germany to The States. I really like this product and will recommend it.
