V VOLKGO Car Seat Travel Bag For Airplane with Padded Backpack Shoulder Straps, Gate Check Bag, Car Seat Bags for Air Travel Carseat Travel Cover, Carseat Travel Bag Cover for Airplane Travel

We got 2 of these knowing that we needed to fit a booster seat with back, carseat for a 1 year old and a hiking backpack carrier into them. We flew to Colorado from Indianapolis. I've seen all the comments about these types of carriers being fragile, easily ripped or damaged and for this type, the top not fully closing. I was pleased with the bags' travel though! This type allowed multiple carry options including as a backpack (HUGE game changer for pack mule dad's through an airport). I wore one pack on my back, one laid sideways with the handle strap securing it on our wheeled suitcases and this allowed my wife to push the stroller through the airport and terminals, letting us spend less time keeping awkward items from falling and more time keeping an eye on our kids and where we are going. The durability was better than expected. There was evidence of large black smudges/scuffs on the back with some other evidence that it went through a trolley and travel system but I'm glad that was on the bags and not the car seats/booster. I would have felt the need to clean this off before putting my daughters in the seats, not knowing what all they ran up against (never trust Airport cleanliness). As for security, the top of the bag is a thick drawstring close with small flap to attempt some degree of concealment. The bag stays closed despite the rough handling it received. After how much stress it saved me during transport and peace of mind knowing that the materials my daughters laid their heads against was mostly clean, this was no longer a point of matter for me. I would highly recommend these bags as I was initially skeptical, but definitely worth the price to me!

Sturdy, worked well. Husband carried the light Cosco carseat throughout the airport using this with no issues.

Every once in a while you buy something and you're 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 I've had to use it) is very well made, it's 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 it'll turn dad into a quasimodo hump on steroids. Just a note, you will sweat with this on your back. It's nylon or some other type of synthetic and you will get warm with this thing. Also, be aware that your back is huge, I must've apologized to 20 different people after hitting them with the car seat. This is a great buy and does its job well.

I originally bought our first Volkgo Travel Bag over 1 year ago as we were getting ready to travel with our infant son for the first time. His infant car seat and base fit perfectly fine. We checked the car seat at check-in and it seemed easy to tote the bag from the car over our shoulders. However, when we reached our destination, we realized there was a hole at the bottom of the bag. We reached out to the seller when we got home and they sent us a new bag to replace the torn one. I assumed it was possibly a sharp edge the base of the infant car seat and assumed it was just bad luck and poor handling by the airline. We have not traveled since receiving the new one until last week. I got the new bag out but this time loaded our toddler car seat into the bag. We have the Evenflo EveryStage car seat and it was a tight fit. The top of the car seat was not completely covered by the hole at the top of the bag. Again, we checked the bag at check-in and upon our arrival at our destination, found an even larger hole in the new bag than the first. I have included pictures of both bags with both holes. The first bag tear is about 3.5 inches and the second bag tear is about 9.5 inches. I never write negative reviews for products, but I have to honestly say these bags are not durable especially when large tears occur using brand new bags on 2 different car seats on their first leg of travel. I know the handling of airlines is not great but I have to trust that the bag I put my baby's car seat will keep it clean and safe for him to be in when we get to where we're going. I will likely have to try a different brand that is more durable for future travel.

Purchased this for a 19-day trip in Europe with my 6-month old as we needed to have a carseat. We brought our Graco SnugRide 35 Lite LX Infant Car Seat and it fit into the bag with PLENTY of room left, so much so we got smart (at the end of the trip, of course) and started putting extra diapers, blankets, and clothes in the bag to free up room in our suitcases. The cons of this bag is that the opening doesn't stay closed well. It has two pull ties that you can tie together, but they (understandably) pull apart because of the weight of the car seat pushing against the unsupported side of the bag. The top flap must just be there for aesthetics because it doesn't velcro shut and provides no value. The backpack straps make it a bit easier to lug the car seat around, but make sure to shorten said straps so the bag isn't hitting the back of your calves, and make sure to put the car seat in with the seat itself facing your back (another one of those late-in-the-trip discoveries). Overall, it served it's purpose and we'll keep it as long as we have babies in car seats.

Do not buy this bag! I would give it zero stars if I could. Extremely flimsy, very thin material and poor stitching. The bottom of it ripped open after the first use. I genuinely didn’t think it would make it to our return flight. I had to layer blankets over the hole to try and keep the car seat in. This was used on our infant car seat btw, not a bigger toddler seat. No way could this bag handle a bigger car seat with an isofix base. Shocking product, not fit for purpose at all!

Great product to help protect your expensive baby items when travelling. worked well

The bag "looks" good quality. However after the first trip using it the plastic cord/string lock broke. I kept using it, tying a knot in the string when checking it. Two trips later and the bag itself was ripped. I am not sure if I was unlucky or what happened. I am still giving 5 stars because I contacted their customer care and they promptly took care of it.

Seen us through a few holidays now and it’s been so handy to have. Can be carried like a backpack which is easy when moving through the airport. Strong and sturdy and has good closures. We attached our own straps to make it easier to identify on holiday.

It is as described and so useful.
