Q: Does this bag have a shoulder strap so you can carry it on your back?
submitted by DH - 8 years ago
A: it does not have a shoulder strap. it just has a drawstring to close the bag and you can see in the picture a black handle.
submitted byclaire - 8 years agoA: Nope, HOWEVER, what I did after the seat was in, and used the cinch system, I tied the excess cord to the carry handle you see on the front and used it on my shoulder. Not ideal....but manageable traveling with one young child by yourself (which is what I did). :) Super easy to spot your bag when they decide to offload it with the rest of luggage instead of at the gate at my destination, so just in case they do that to you as well....

Q: Would it fit a Chico next fit?
submitted by Lu - 8 years ago
A: I've used it with an infant and a toddler seat, the bag is huge it should fit anything!
submitted byWife - 8 years agoA: Probably, the bag is pretty large. I used it with an infant car seat but it's more suited for a regular car seat.

Great idea, but not the right material

The idea of this bag is fantastic. It's big enough and can be carried easily. We also appreciated the space to label the bag. Unfortunately, the material is not strong enough to withstand being handled by as gate checked bag. In our case, the bag had holes after the first use. After 4 flights, we had to throw it away. Please use stronger material in the future!
A must

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A must for traveling with kids! Parts of car seats get lost by airlines and car seats get covered with so much dirt when transporting it ! This bag is so amazing! It protects the car seat and I love the bright red cover to identify it easy!
Great for keeping a car seat clean

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great bag for travelling with a car seat. It keeps the car seat clean when other bags do not. The airplane cargo hold is very dirty so bags and car seats can get very dirty. We had one before but the airport lost our car seat and the bag was covering the car seat.
Nice car seat bag for airport or storage

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this car seat bag free of charge for an honest review from influenster. It is a very useful car seat bag. I am using it for storing a spare car seat in our garage. If I were to ever need to fly this is handy because it has a name tag and place for an air tag so you can track where your car seat is. It is affordable so I would buy it even for the purpose of storing the seat. I also like that it has a sturdy handle making it easier to lug around.

I’m going on a trip in a few days and this came within 1 day which is amazing. The bag feels sturdy and big enough for my infant car seat but can be used for much larger seats. I’m excited to use it and keep my seat safe while we travel

Not worth buying

Julie - 4 years ago, Verified purchaser
You are better off buying a sturdier, more protective bag for your car seat especially if it's a nice/new one. We used this bag for literally one flight to and from our destination and the bag arrived with holes, black marks everywhere, and scratches on the car seat. The cord is so long that the gate people closed it in the door and we had to wait for someone to re-open the gate door to get it out so we could put the carseat back onto the stroller, all while holding an infant, carry on bags, and trying to stay out of the way of everyone. I wrote our contact info on it of course and Target is still forcing us to ship it back for the refund.

Good for what it is but after a few flights started to get holes in the bag. The straps are not ideal to carry on the shoulder. If you’re traveling with another adult this will work but if you’re traveling alone, spend more and get something with wheels. I know for how much I travel with the little one, I will be buying one with wheels.

We bought this car seat bag for our airline travel about a year ago. We have probably used it 4 times so far and I can't use it anymore because the string to close it has fallen out. The material is also flimsy and is already more aged than the other car seat bag we have been using for 4 years for our older kids car seat.

I bought this bag for keeping it clean during 4 flights.The seams held up for the weight and size of my son's carseat. It filled the bag completely being such a large carseat and I was still able to tie it shut. The material did get ripped in a few spots from handling at the airport and a piece of my carseat was broken at the base because there is obviously no cushion, but luckily doesn't impact the safety of the carseat. I was worried if the handle would rip from the weight while carrying it but it never ripped. I would definitely purchase this bag again because it did keep my carseat clean and all tidy without having to worry if any of the belts/safety latches were dragging behind me.

These are great! I had been looking but everything else was so expensive! When I found these I bought them not really sure what to expect! But they fit the seat in really nicely! Make it easy to carry the car seat around, keep it clean & easy to find when it comes off the plane! Good quality material! And you can’t beat the price!
