Customer Buzz
I found several problems with this bag. First, the zipper broke very quickly. Luckily, there were two (that meet each other), and one remained functional. Next the handle/strap broke. Also, I found the height of this to be a little cumbersome but workable had there been no other issues. In some airports, the car seat will not fit through the security belt inside of the bag. I refuse to put my car seat on the filthy belt then put my child in it so that was a problem to get a supervisor to check the seat without putting it through the security belt. Next, the wheels broke off, and the material started to tear. I owned this bag for less than 1 year. I do travel quite a bit; however, I only gate checked the item - never checked all the way through. I found that getting a plain gate check bag (the red JL Childress ones) to protect the seat then putting the car seat on a luggage cart works much, much better. The height of the luggage cart is more comfortable, and the cart is much more durable. No issues with the seat fitting on security belts either because the bag is like a nylon sack. And, the luggage rack folds up easily. I would not purchase this bag again.

We have used this bag on a trip to UK and back (2 flights each way) and on a trip to Ohio. It went as checked baggage each time so I can't comment on how useful it is if you want to take it and your car seat on board. For us, it kept the car seat and base clean and dry with no damage to either the bag or it's contents. I would have given it 5 stars if it wheeled a bit better - it seems to want to wiggle way more than I'd ideally like but it was nothing that I couldn't handle.

I bought this cover for my Evenflo Triumph Advance convertible car seat (up to 50 pounds), and it fits. It is a big car seat, so there is not much extra room, but the zipper is not tight. So far, I used it once to check in the car seat, and it worked just fine.
I tried the Safety First cover and it didn't fit my car seat. The finish of the product was very good (slightly better than the Wheelie), but definitely smaller.

Customer Buzz
This is great. It's so handy and much easier to use than lugging the carseat without it. The problems are the same as what everyone else says:
-Could use some padding/thicker for protection. But that's not really what it's supposed to be for.
-Hard to pull for anyone over about 5'6". I can pull it okay but my husband has to hunch over to reach the handle.
-Would be better with four wheels. You have to really have it tipped down for it to maneuver properly. I think if the wheels swiveled it wouldn't be so bad.
I still think this is the best one on the market so far.
Edit: I just saw that they have made a new one for $4 more that has a handle extension and a shoulder strap so they have corrected one of the problems...

Customer Buzz
This is a great, durable car seat cover for any type of travel. The materal is of heavy duty fabric which will stand up to alot of abuse. They are a little tricky to pull through the airports as they do have only two wheels and have their own way of going in a different direction at times. It seems the faster one goes, this happens, especially if one is pulling two of them. But--they really are great car seat covers and protect the child's seat.

I have 2 kids, 2 years and 10.5 months. My husband and I just got back from Palm Beach, FL and we didn't know what to do with the car seats so we thought it would be easiest to wheel them through the airport. We had both kids in our double stroller, the diaper bag, my purse, an extra bag with the DVD player, a small suitcase carry on and 2 of these bags with a toddler carseat in each. Without these bags on wheels I don't know how it would have been possible to get all of this, without going insane, through the airport all the way to the end of the terminal. My husband was even able to place the small suitcase carry-on on top ot one of the travel bags and loop the strap though to wheel that as well. These also have shoulder straps and I had to place each bag on one shoulder while pushing the double stroller with the kids while my husband was checking our luggage, 3 large suitcases and 1 portacrib. On the way coming back we had bought some beach toys and there is enough room in the bags for anything extra, so we threw the plastic wagon in with one and the buckets and shovels in the other...anyways, we don't know what we would've done without these bags. This was a lot of stuff to take, everything but the highchairs, and just having wheels on the bags was so worth the money to us. The 2 travel bags and double stroller were checked as carry-on with the pink tags and given back to us as soon as we exited the plane so they were not damaged in anyway and we will be using them on our next airplane trip for sure!

Customer Buzz
This car seat bag was such a big help for our trip. We were able to roll it just like a suitcase. I had my daughter in the stroller and thought it was going to hard to push the stroller and pull the bag. It wasn't. I highly recommend this bag for any parent traveling with small children.

Customer Buzz
This product worked for us. We wheeled and carried it at different times and both worked fine. Once you stuff the seat in, you have a lot of room to stuff things in it. We stuffed in a blanket and soft car seat toys (the ones that you attached to the actual car seat). It was perfect b/c I could bring those normal things for baby to feel comfortable w/o having to hold them or jam them into the diaper bag (which is already packed full!).


I found the material of the bag decent -- it didn't rip at all. I imagine this will work for us for sometime and if we ever get any tears, it is called duct tape, people!!! :-)


Customer Buzz
This was great when we travelled. It kept our car seat from getting dirty, wet, or damaged. The fact that it has wheels is great and we were able to get around easily at the airport. Don't know what we would have done without it.

Customer Buzz
I have traveled with my Britax Marathon carseat without this product and I will never do that again. Even if this product had only lasted for one trip, it was completely worth every penny. We had no issues with wear and tear on it and it worked very well to carry the carseat and everything a travel high chair. I highly recommend this product if you ever plan to travel with your carseat.
