J.L. ChildressJ.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

To spend thirty-five dollars, check the seat for free, and avoid the hassle of overpaying for an old plastic rental seat -- WELL worth it. Our Graco Nautilus fit nicely inside; in fact, there was so much room that I put 3 beach towels in to protect the arm rests and headrest.The bag is a heavy-duty tight-weave nylon on a plastic platform with 4 wheels. The little wheels do not swivel, and they aren't the greatest, but I still found this bag more advantageous than not. There was a loop handle on the back and a telescoping handle for dragging (leaves a little to be desired for tall people), plus 2 zippers for easy access.The zippers are in the middle of the case, and extend all the way to the base which I felt made it uber-easy to get the seat in and out, plus there was a very long strap inside to secure the seat to the base in case the seat is much smaller than the base/bag. The strap was useful to keep the seat centered as the wheels are not high-quality so rolling it is not supremely easy.Of course there are pros and cons, but the main gist: for under forty bucks this thing WILL protect your car seat and save you the hassle of finding a safe seat on the other end of a plane ride. I'm very pleased with our purchase!

I needed a travel bag for a cross-country flight with my 21 month old. I had no problems packing the car seat in. You must put the seat fully upright and take your time, and it zips up easily. It's so much easier pulling a 25 pound car seat than strapping it to your back. Yes, it's only a cloth handle but I had no issues maneuvering. I had my diaper bag over my shoulder, pulled this bag, and alternated between carrying my 22 pound kid and pushing her in a stroller one-handed, and still had no problems with this bag. The TSA security guys also had no problems removing and putting the car seat back into the bag. It doesn't seem very tough but survived treks through parking lots and terminals. I will be using this again for future air travel. And the cloth handle worked fine, though others who are taller (I'm 5'4") may have a different opinion. It also lies flat and easily stores in the overhead bins on the plane.

I have just returned this Travel Bag, not because it got damaged in travel, but because it could not be rolled, pulled, etc. The problem is with the basic design. The bag with the car seat in it is weighted so far forward, away from the towing handle, that the front legs could never be lifted off of the ground so they drag along when you are trying to pull the bag along side or behind you. In technical terms, the wheels are located badly with respect to the "center of gravity" of the loaded bag. Also my Graco YourSize 70 seat just barely fit into it....but I found a solution to this problem. I sent this one back to Amazon (kudos to them for making this easy) then I went to ToysRUs to try out the Brica "wheely" which is also shown on Amazon for about the same money as this Childress one. When I got there I found that they had a "no-name" brand of their own which works a lot better than either the Childress or the Brica ones and costs $10 less. Unlike the Childress it has been well designed. First, the wheels are at the center of gravity and the pull handle is a large, solid piece of plastic making the bag very handy to pull. Second, it has plenty of room for the car seat and other stuff so I didn't have to strain to get it in. Third, the wheels are roller blade style with ball bearings making it easy to roll. Fourth, it is designed like a duffle bag with short handles on the top when the bag is laying down, thus making the baggage handlers job a lot easier so hopefully they won't abuse it so much getting it on and off the baggage carousel.The ToysRUs bag doesn't have back pack straps, but neither did the Childress one. I could never imagine myself carrying the seat and my carry-on back pack on my back at the same time anyway. So save yourself all the searching and reading of reviews I did and try the ToysRUs one first.

The media could not be loaded. Perfectly functional for the price. Roomy interior, good zippers, nice wheeled base built in. It could be a little thicker and the strap keeps the base attached for sure.

We bought this 1 year ago and took it on about 4 round trips and the wheels were ripped off in transit during a trip we were just on. Overall size of the bag was perfect for our large toddler car seat and would fit many other car seats, love the zipper instead of draw string that some cheaper options offer and favorite feature was the wheels, made for smooth transit with multiple car seats and bags. Disappointed the wheels came off so soon, the rest of the bag is intact but there are no straps to put on your back, only a sling to put over your arm which made it quite difficult to maneuver after the wheels fell off.
