Held up well after 2 international flights
I was super skeptical about which carseat bag to get for our international flight to Aruba earlier in the summer. I'm a new mom and had never flown with a toddler before. I must have read 100 reviews and some said "5 stars lasted through x amount of trips" and some said "don't waste your time, fell apart after 1 flight". How the heck are you supposed to choose?? I ultimately went with this one because it had more reviews overall and still had a fairly positive rating and because the price was right and it had the backpack carry which made a big difference going through the airport.I was impressed with the size of the bag, they aren't kidding in the reviews, it's huge!!! You could fit 2 carseats in it! The carseat we traveled with is a very basic toddler model so it wasn't super bulky but even if it had been, there would've been plenty of space for it.It was also fairly easy to figure out how to use as far as what to connect where, etc. Though it is important that you pay attention to which way you face the carseat so that the cushioned part is against your back when you carry it.Our bag with carseat inside traveled from Houston, TX to Aruba and back and there was only one very minor year after the second flight that I noticed. It was not on a seam and it did not appear to be a defect or anything, I think something sharp just rubbed it the right way and it took a couple lookovers for me to even have noticed it.Overall, it held up very well and I was very pleased with it. It made carrying a heavy carseat through the airport with a toddler, stroller, and 5 other bags a little easier.There were quite a few reviews which complained about how difficult it is to get the bag back into the attached carry pouch and I will admit it is certainly not a simple task. However, I have figured out a fairly easy solution, you just have to have a flat surface and it wouldn't necessarily be feasible in a busy airport as you're getting off the plane.To get it back in the storage pouch: 1. Flip the entire bag inside out including the storage pouch 2. Lay out on a flat surface in front of you with the attached carry pouch at the end farthest away from you. 3. Fold the two sides into the middle, basically into thirds, guestimating the width that you will need to get it into the carry pouch. 4. Still folded into thirds, start at the end closest to you and now fold it into small squares, again guestimating size but this time on the height of the carry pouch. Continue this until you get to the attached pouch. 5. Once you get to the end, fold in the excess sides to be the same width as the bag and then fold the bag one more time, this time directly into the storage pouch (which will also be inside out remember). As you are folding it into the bag, you can pull the pouch back over itself and the part you're folding so that the attached storage pouch is now right side out and the carseat bag itself is fairly neatly folded into the storage pouch. Adjust as you go and at the end to make it look how you want but I've done it this way several times now and it seems to work pretty well each time. It sounds a lot more complicated than it is. Eventually I'll try to get pictures and add them to the post.Either way, I am a happy Mom and can't complain too much about our purchase. I would recommend it to others and hope to be able to use it again the next time we fly with our little one!

Must have when travelling with baby
We just had our baby girl this past April. This travel bag comes really handy when we take her on trips. The bag is made of good material - thick and durable. It is also waterproof. We have an infant car seat - Nuna Pipa and a convertible car seat - Graco 4 ever. Both car seats fit nicely in this travel bag. The shoulder straps and belt are very helpful for a petite mom like me. I cannot wait to take my baby on trips.

Good buy
This car seat travel bag worked great, we have only used it for one trip but it held up well. I am happy with the price and quality of the product. We used it on a high back 5 point harness booster and there was room left over. One point of advice is make sure you put the car seat in the bag properly, there are backpack straps that make it very easy to handle. But, if it is in wrong it is awkward to carry. Also it is slightly difficult to fold up into the bag. All in all I would purchase again.

Good Product
Bought to put a car seat in that isn't designed for travel. The bag is large and it was an easy in/out. I like that it has the ability to use backstraps or carry handle. The closing is just pullstrings, I wish there was a Velcro flap or something, but for the price I would definitely recommend this bag for travel. Will cover pretty much any seat and can be reduced in size with the straps. Only reason I didn't give it a 5* is that the pads on the backpack straps don't stay put at all which can cause the straps to dig in to your shoulder.

Lifesaver!
So glad we purchase before our trip to NY. It was very convenient to have when going through the airport and making sure the car seat was protected when going to baggage. Car seat fit perfectly.

Five stars car seat travel bag, amazing
At first I was skeptical about the description of this bag. I used a lot of other brands, they were torn at once. I've had it for 3 weeks so I can't attest to something like a year or longer but I do have some info.For quality, the quality of this travel bag is comparable to the price and is much thicker than J.L. It is definitely not a one-off product. Even if it is dragged on the ground, it will not break immediately.For design, I am satisfied that it has a very large space and can be adjusted according to the size of the car seat. In addition, the widened shoulder strap part makes me more comfortable to carry, even my wife can use it.For use, it can be quickly checked through the airport and it is waterproof to prevent the car seat from being soiled.The only downside is that it is collapsible, which is very convenient, but the problem is that it is crumpled after folding, although this does not affect the use. In general, it is worth recommending.

Great for protecting car seat but pain to put back in its case
Looks like it will suit our needs perfectly (nuna pipa, didn't try fitting base). Minor issue-- it's a pain to get it to fit back in its case. If the case were a little bit bigger it'd be a breeze. We are bringing a gallon-sized plastic bag to stuff the car seat cover into when we're not using it.

Good (large) size and lots of carry options
I really like this bag!! I was worried it wouldn’t be large enough (high back harness booster). But it was! On flight 1, I used a portable rolling cart to wheel it. But flight 2, I wore it as a backpack. I like the backpack option best although I definitely knocked into some people and cars. I’ve attached pics of the seat and bag. I didn’t give 4 stars overall because the backpack straps were a little flimsy.
