J.L. Childress Spinner Wheelie Deluxe

I own both this bag and the Simple Being Car Seat Travel Bag that is $75 less. See attached picture to compare. First, I will say 100% you should get a car seat bag with 4 wheels. I started with a bag without wheels and it's a huge pain trying to physically carry your car seat along with luggage and a child. Get something with 4 wheels and justify the price by stuffing it with as much extra luggage as you can (airlines check these for free). Second, I'd recommend spending the extra $75 on this J.L. Childress Deluxe. As you can see from the pictures, this bag is bigger, it stands up by itself, it is WAY more durable and overall it rolls better. If you only want to spend $50, this Simple Being bag will get the job done, but it doesn't stand up by itself, it doesn't roll well, it's not as durable and the straps get caught in the wheels. Traveling with little kids is already hard enough, spend the extra money to make it easier by getting this bag.

The J.L. Childress Wheelie Car Seat Bag made traveling with my child’s car seat so much easier. The wheels roll smoothly, and the bag is well-padded to protect the seat during flights. It’s roomy, durable, and easy to handle through airports. A must-have for families who travel often!

We used this one time for a trip and it fell apart the day we arrived to our destination. We ended up having to carry it on our way home. The car seat inside was 30 lbs so carrying it was not ideal.

I used this for a 3 hour flight and it held up very well. It fit the Britax Diplomat carseat in it easily. It rolls easily also and we had no problems dragging it around the airport. It protected the carseat very well. The only annoyance I have with it is that it doesn't fold up easily for storage like I would like it to when you're not using it. But that's relatively minor. I would definitely buy this again for my next baby. Update: Nov 2011 I bought a Britax Boulevard 70CS and this bag fits the carseat perfectly. I've used in on two trips where it has been banged to hell and back. Still holding steady and looks great. It was easy to fit the carseat inside and zip up. No problems at all.

It wasn’t easy finding a bag that fits the Cybex Callisto 360. It’s a very large seat! This bag looks like it was tailor made for the Callisto 360 and the spinner wheels are great because this is a very heavy car seat. As you can see in the photos and video, there is no tightness or pulling at all.

This bag has been a great travel asset -- we place our daughter's clothes bag "in" the seat and check it for our travels, but it's taken quite a beating. We've traveled 5 times with it and each time it comes out the other end with more pieces missing - our first trip resulted in a lot of small wear holes around corners of the car seat, our next trip resulted in the wheels and base literally falling off (thankfully the airline saved it and we were able to bolt it back on) and our most recent trip had the top handle tear off completely. That said, we've flown with this a total of 10 times (5 trips) and its allowed us to consolidate our daughter's gear (which has saved us a good amount in checked baggage fees) for our trips and it's certainly traveled better than a plastic bag that the airliner would wrap around the chair. If that averages out to about $4 per flight, then this bag has really more than served it's purpose even if we're about to replace it... Don't expect a great bag that will last a long time - it's simply too cheap for that, but its certainly done its job through 5 trips and was worth the price.

To spend thirty-five dollars, check the seat for free, and avoid the hassle of overpaying for an old plastic rental seat -- WELL worth it. Our Graco Nautilus fit nicely inside; in fact, there was so much room that I put 3 beach towels in to protect the arm rests and headrest. The bag is a heavy-duty tight-weave nylon on a plastic platform with 4 wheels. The little wheels do not swivel, and they aren't the greatest, but I still found this bag more advantageous than not. There was a loop handle on the back and a telescoping handle for dragging (leaves a little to be desired for tall people), plus 2 zippers for easy access. The zippers are in the middle of the case, and extend all the way to the base which I felt made it uber-easy to get the seat in and out, plus there was a very long strap inside to secure the seat to the base in case the seat is much smaller than the base/bag. The strap was useful to keep the seat centered as the wheels are not high-quality so rolling it is not supremely easy. Of course there are pros and cons, but the main gist: for under forty bucks this thing WILL protect your car seat and save you the hassle of finding a safe seat on the other end of a plane ride. I'm very pleased with our purchase!

We used this travel bag so we could gate check our car seat. We've had some very bad experiences with our checked bags coming out damaged in many ways (couldn't open one suitcase due to broken zipper and got off line and a rip on the side of a brand new suitcase!). So we thought it would be best to gate check some of our important things like the car seat (for safety reasons) and the stroller. I have two problems with this travel bag. First off our car seat doesn't fit in it very easily. We have the Britax Pavilion 70-G3. So if you have the same car seat and are looking for a travel bag this will fit but it's very tight and can be somewhat difficult to get in the bag if you are in a rush. We make it work but it is difficult when taking it out of the bag while going through TSA and then struggling to get it back in with three little ones traveling with me. We don't have to do this at all airports but when we do it is a pain. My other issue with this travel bag is the handle strap on top of the bag. We used this to pull the car seat along with us in the airport and it broke on the first trip we used it. The only thing in this bag was the car seat itself. Although the idea of the bag is very handy, it needs to be a little bigger to fit a wider range of car seat sizes and the pull strap needs to be more durable.
