> 24 hourWe took it on an airplane and it protected everything great. I used it for my sons car seat and it could probably fit 2 of them in there it was so big. The fold was easy bc I could stuff it in there but folding it nicely I couldn’t figure it out lol

> 24 hourIt tore the very first time we used it. We checked the car seat at the check-in counter and when we arrived at our destination, there was a huge tear in the bag (over a foot long). When we took our return flight, it got another large tear. It fit the car seat just fine (Britax Grow With You) with plenty of extra room, so it wasnt overloaded or anything. Just the material is not as durable as expected. Update: the seller issued a refund, so at least they took good care of me!

> 24 hourThe hook for the straps are made of thin plastic. My carseat is not heavy, since is one that we use for traveling purposes. So, if you expect to carry a heavy/bulky carseat I wouldnt recommend using the backpack straps. I givingi it 3 stars because the material is good and the closure makes the difference.

> 24 hourEven with the constant bagging and un-bagging (TSA, arrival at the gate, disembarking the plane, etc.) this was hands-down the easiest way for us to transport our car seat through the airport. I had to run across SLC airport with this thing on my back and our stroller in my arms, and still made it to our connecting flight within our 10-minute window. I cant imagine how hectic our vacation would have been without it. We bought an extra seat for our toddler, so we brought the car seat with us on the flight and didnt check I, so I cant attest to how well it holds up through baggage handling. The straps all seem pretty durable, though the backpack straps did leave bruises on my shoulders until I re-adjusted the fit--make sure you do a trial run at home, friends! Re-folding it into the zipper pocket was tricky the first couple of times, but I could do it on my lap in an airline seat by the time of our return flight home (smooth, smooth, fold, fold, fold, tuck, tuck, roll roll roll, squash, zip, done). The carrying strap used when the bag is zipped into the pouch is long enough that a luggage tag attached to it can still stick out of the drawstring hole at the top when its fully unfolded and has a car seat inside.

> 24 hourWe flew from Philly to Florida with 2 adults and two small children, 4 suitcases and 4 backpacks. Considering that the car seats fly free and dont count against our luggage, I didnt expect the airline to be careful with the car seats. Bring brings up Awesomeness number 1. Awesomeness number 1: Durable. We could see mechanical grease and skid marks on the bags, but absolutely no damage to our car seats on either flight. Once we were home the bags cleaned up great and didnt show any damage themselves. Awesomeness number 2: The back pack straps on these bags. Lugging 4 suitcases, 4 backpacks (the kids were each responsible for a backpack), and two car seats through airports and parking garages with only 2 adults to move it all (plus tracking the 2 kids). Each adult had a car seat on our backs, a back pack on our fronts, and 2 large suitcases. While awkward and cumbersome, it would have been impossible without the car seat travel bags. Awesomeness number 3: Folding size. Once at our destination, these bags folded up nice and small for easy storage until we needed to fly again.

> 24 hourThis is the second car seat travel bag I have bought and we travel 3-4x/year. This one is great. The material is very durable and has held up very well. The built in pocket is great and it is not too difficult to get the bag back in. Just be aware, this seems to be a very popular bag as I saw 4 of these on our last flight. Be sure to put your name on the bag in the designated name space and maybe add some personal touches.

> 24 hourI would definitely say this is a like but not love. Its solidly made but I think that it could have a little bit more padding. I also hate the opening at the top. Its hard to open and close! I also wish that the straps were a bit padded since youre carrying a heavy car seat inside. But it gets the job done.

> 24 hourOne star - I purchased this in hopes it would make our trip through the airport with our newborn cheaper. The strap broke the minute we got to the airport and my husband had just put it on his back. I’m bummed I bought this so early before our trip and I can’t return it. Updated 3/25 - *customer service reached out to me and made it right* I very much appreciate a company that stands by their product and values their customers. I changed my review from 1 star to 3 stars to still reflect the defective product I received.

> 24 hourSo far so good, used on 1 domestic flight with a plane change for my Graco contender with plenty of room to spare. Total flight time was appx 8 hours. Glad I had the cover it, it was raining when they transferred the luggage between planes and at my final destination. I was able to wrap the car seat in bubble wrap to protect the edges and still had room in the bag. Held up well, well see on the way back! Only suggestion is to make a luggage tag, instead of having to write info on the provided white strip, and to have a zip closure. I ended up making a large luggage tag and attached it to the center strap since Ill probably let my sister use it as well. Even though I triple knotted the drawstring and tucked it inside, it either came undone or handlers opened it and did not retie properly but the flap did prevent it from fully opening. I also love that this bag has 3 handle options (1 in front, 1 on side and back pack straps), it makes handling and carrying it so much easier!! Will update if anything changes. Update 11/27/17: 2 more flights and it is still holding up well! On one flight, we added one of those pop-up infant chairs (think top half of an old school walker) and still had room to spare. Was still able to add some cushion with the bubble wrap. Currently using the bag to store the Graco car seat, pop up chair and a travel baby bath.

> 24 hourIf you are planning to check the car seat with your airline this is a good product. I wish it had zippers instead of strings to close the bag and ensure nothing goes in during transportation, but it still works very well. The seat fit very well in the bag. This has nothing to do with the quality of the bag, but If you are planning to take the carseat on board, then the task of taking the car seat in an out of the bag during airport security checks becomes cumbersome. During the last leg of the trip I just ended up carrying the car seat throughout the airport without the bag.
