> 3 dayThe fabric was already fraying before use and the straps twist and aren’t very padded.

> 3 dayEven 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.

> 3 dayOne 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.

> 3 dayEvery once in a while you buy something and youre just astonished at how well it works, the simplicity, and value. This is one of those products. Note I purchased this on my own and have received nothing in exchange for this review. We were moving cross country and taking trips to house hunt, see the area, etc. We wanted out 3.5 year old to come with us and the last time I had to carry his car seat (Evenflo Tribute LX), despite being one of the lightest car seats on the market, was a giant pain in the ass. Decided to try the VolkGo and gate check his seat. This bag is (as far as the 4 times Ive had to use it) is very well made, its big enough to fit the Evenflo, it folds into itself into a nice small pouch, the shoulder straps are padded and comfortable, and it closes up nicely. You can see the other review photos that itll turn dad into a quasimodo hump on steroids. Just a note, you will sweat with this on your back. Its nylon or some other type of synthetic and you will get warm with this thing. Also, be aware that your back is huge, I mustve apologized to 20 different people after hitting them with the car seat. This is a great buy and does its job well.

> 3 dayNo, this cannot fit two car seats BUT it can fit your car seat base. I have the Graco 35 LX car seat i believe. The material is very high quality so i trust the durability, it’s just going to be heavy. I really like the name bar option.

> 3 dayWe checked our carseat for our flights and it felt better having it in a bag in the cargo. The backpack straps ended up being extra helpful so we could just carry it instead of trying to balance it on a suitcase. However, it got a hole after just one flight, so durability is... Questionable.

Greater than one weekIn my family, its a tradition to take family vacations at least once or twice a year. In the past years, weve always driven to our vacation destinations but recently (since we have 2 kids now), weve found ourselves flying to make it easier on the baby/toddler. But the problem here is that parents can only do so much when having luggage for every person + taking a stroller, carry-ons, and 2 car seats. You run out of hands! Even still if you rent a car, all rental car companies charge you around $20 a day for a car seat. Meaning we were spending $40+ a day just for 2 car seats. This is where a car seat travel bag comes in handy. Most of them are similar in which it just covers up your car seat to protect it from the elements. Where this one from Volkgo differs is that it has straps so you can carry the car seat like a backpack. This is a lifesaver because each parent can carry a car seat on their back, freeing up some hands for other things like luggage, strollers, or wrangling your kids. I did want to mention though, that the Volkgo Customer Support was excellent. Upon ordering mine, I found that there was an issue with the seam where the product was sewn together. I contacted them and they sent me another one with no questions asked. Truly a handy product!

> 3 dayIt is made of heavy duty fabric, and it is convenient to carry it around. This is a huge car seat bag when me and my daughter traveled a few months ago. I was able to put in extra stuff like my shoes, clothes, diapers, and even a blanket! Highly recommend

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI purchased this car seat bag for recent travels and was horribly disappointed. Let me preface this that I was traveling with 1 car seat, a Cosco scerena that only weighs 10 lbs. I no more than got through security and the pad on the shoulder strap ripped. By the time we landed at our destination and got to the car, the second pad on the other shoulder strap ripped. I was not impressed but we had another trip a few weeks later so I wanted to use the bag for the trip rather than buying something new again. For the second trip, by the time we got to our rental car at our destination the bottom of the bag was RIPPED, while we were on our trip, we needed to make a special stop for find duct tape so we could get the car seat home. I threw the bag away once we got home. I want to follow this is saying that we used the bag to get the car seat through security and onto the plane where we installed the car seat for our daughter to sit in the car seat for the flight. The bag was never in the hands of airport personnel or under the plane. Very unimpressed. Save your time, take the dive on a more expensive better quality car seat bag!!!
