 GATE CHECK, not luggage check - there IS a difference! Mar 15, 2010
By Sam
This bag is for when you take your car seat through the airport and check it at the airplane itself - gate checking! It's made to keep it clean, and yes I have had baby things come back pretty dirty, but not often. It then folds right back up in it's little bag. It is NOT made to go through airport baggage where it's on the conveyor belts and thrown around like crazy. If you look at the other bad reviews, they are almost all made by folks who have checked this as baggage, not gate checking.
By the way, if you are gate checking spend the best $15 of your life and get Traveling Toddler Car Seat Travel Accessory. Use it with a sturdy carry on bag with a long enough handle that you don't have to stay bent over, and fill your carry on so it's solid. Filled with some of your and your childs things in it (we all know how invaluable that extra set of baby things are if your luggage is lost!) and with your car seat on it, it saves you checked luggage fees $$$ and is convenient! What more could you ask for! A stroller through the airport and no fees for your car seat as luggage or having to rent a (usually old and yucky) car seat with your rental! :)
Even if you aren't using it as a stroller for your older kids car seats, it sure is nice not to have to carry the car seats!

 perfect size, but not sturdy Apr 05, 2008
By Trae B. Napierala

This fit our car seat perfectly (also allowing enough room to stash coats) but after just one flight, it already had 2 holes.

 not at all durable Nov 07, 2009
By Chino
"Chino"
Having read the warnings here about durability, my intent for this bag was to have something to throw the car seat into just prior to gate check to keep the car seat clean while it was stowed below. Even with the (relatively) easy handling, ours had a large hole ripped into it after only 2 trips (actually on the outbound segment of our 2nd trip). Unfortunately, something like this item, designed specifically for travel, should have the durability to last at least several trips (a dozen or so too much to ask?).
I would NOT recommend this bag. Not even for gate checking purposes only.

Just a big orange bag Jan 12, 2009
By B. Loewy
It's a big orange bag and for me it lasted exactly one trip (4 flights). It did protect the car seat inside decently enough, but the luggage handlers dragged it and just a little dragging across pavement ripped it.
It is bulky to carry with a car seat inside, hence why it was likely dragged. I'd recommend attempting to reinforce the bottom prior to traveling... maybe taping up the corners and bottom before the trip would give it a chance.

Easily ripped after one trip through luggage claim at airport Jun 29, 2008
By lpac
"lap"
The material is not strong enough to withstand multiple trips through luggage claim.
Another issue was when we checked it at the gate the baggage people checked it as luggage because they could not see it was a child seat because of the red cover. We were waiting on the jet way and the airline brought up our stroller ok, but we had to get the child seat in baggage. Extremely frustrating as we waited 20minutes before they figured out it was checked as luggage.
Your better off asking for one of those clear plastic bags for child sets at the check in desk. It's free and you'll save yourself the hassel of going down to baggage claim.
