Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

We have a Britax Boulevard CS and it fit perfectly. I read other reviews and we even put extra diapers, blankets and wipes in the seat for extra storage. I was leery about the backpack straps but they extend out far enough for me to wear as a backpack through the airport. I'm a big guy, 6' 2" and it fit easily. The material is thick and padded throughout and it kept our carseat protected through 4 flights. I would definitely recommend this product. When we got home, I packed it in the plastic case it came in and stored it with our luggage. Great product and price.

My husband, daughter and I were traveling over the holidays. We used the car seat cover not only for the car seat but, we were able to put our bulky winter coats plus some other items in it.

This product was very useful when trying to go through the airport. It was easy to strap on my back like a backpack, which left my hands free to pull my luggage and carry the baby. The material is very durable and kept the car seat clean and dry. It fits our Graco Snug Ride 32 car seat very easily.

I purchased this item for a recent trip and after one use the entire front seam split open. Luckily the car seat inside was not damaged. I plan on returning it, but may try another one just in case this was a defect in this specific item.

This car seat bag was GREAT. It easily fit our Britax Marathon (and also fit our Evenflo Triumph). It made it very easy to transport the car seat from the car to the airport - my husband said it was comfortable to carry. We checked the car seat at the ticket counter and had no issues with the car seat or bag being damaged. I was originally looking at one with wheels, but am glad I went with this one as it freed up our hands to push the stroller and pull our other bags through the airport. Great product!

Must have if checking your carseat, 10/15/2009
By Loves2Shop31, Dalhart, TX
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This fits the Britax Boulevard CS perfectly. It protected my seat from the abuse of checked baggage when I flew. The only thing I wish it had was wheels, but the bag that had wheels got poor reviews so I opted for this one. Even without the wheels was easier to carry the carseat (Britax Boulevard is a heavy seat). I would highly recommend this product.

Great Value!, 09/15/2009

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I wasn't sure if I wanted to use this product when I ordered it, but thought I'd try it for the great price. I have a Recaro Signo seat and the cover fit snug but just fine. I never actually carried the bag at all, but bunge corded it by the straps to my rolling suitcase. I never check luggage, especially a car seat, if I can help it. This cover made it possible for me to travel through the airport rolling the suitcase, diaper bag and car seat and carry baby in backpack. The cover held very securely, seems well padded enough to protect the seat from damages and is easy to do by myself with an infant. I don't think it would hold up if heavy luggage landed on the car seat, but I'm not sure what would. For the price this product is excellent. And Walmart had it out to me overnight even though I ordered it standard shipping!!

Perfect car seat carrier, 08/11/2009
By BusyParent2
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This product is excellent. It is high quality, sturdy fabric, roomy (could carry an Alpha Safety 1st car seat and a large package of diapers), well padded (car seat was very well protected), has big wide padded straps (looks like a huge back pack). I did not buy the same model with wheels because I thought they might brake off. This car seat carrier was easy to handle. I am very pleased with my purchase and if I had to - I would definitely buy it again.

Fantastic....a must have for travel!, 07/20/2009
By DGeevers, Jacksonville, FL
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I bought this for our first flight with our now 19 month old daughter. This is the easiest and most convenient way to transport a car seat. My husband just put it on his back and rolled the suitcase. The carrier is padded and there is extra room to transport blankets...etc... On the way back, our suitcase was over 50 lbs., so we put the extra stuff in the car seat carrier and we didn't have to pay the extra fees. I highly recommend this for the sturdiness, convenience and ease of use. If you are flying, this is a must have! I love it!

One of the Best Ideas Yet, 07/20/2009
By MedicalLakeWA
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This item was ordered through the Site to Store option and arrived early. Granddaughter's Graco Nautilus Booster Seat fit perfectly inside. Everything arrived safely through 3 airplane changes across the USA. One of the best ideas yet for travelling with children's items. Also, Delta Airlines did not charge us for the extra item.

This item would really sell if available in the stores and not only on the website.

Thanks Wal-Mart for speedy service and great price.

Does the job!, 07/14/2009
By LuckyMom123
Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

We had originally intended to get a wheeled bag for our car seat, but after reading some negative reviews, we decided to purchase this bag. I think this bag offers the best protection out there. So far we have checked our carseat as luggage for only one flight, but this bag did its job. The bag got dirty, but the car seat was perfectly protected. The backpack straps were actually easier for us to handle than another wheeled item would have been. Our Britax Marathon fit very well. I would recommend this bag over the other bags on the market if you intend to check your car seat as luggage.

By tabbykat, Texas
Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

This is a very nice bag. It is nicely padded and huge! We have the First Years True Fit convertable car seat and it fit perfectly in the bag. The only downside is: once the car seat was in the bag, it was extremely heavy. I can not carry it; my husband (6'2" about 190 lbs) carried it all through the airport and his back was hurting. So all in all if you are checking the bag, then great, but if you are gate checking it, then it is very heavy. I wish it had wheels! =) It is very nice though.

Last minute decision to buy, but made the travel seamless. Meant to be carried by Daddy...
Product lived up to its expectations.
Easy to use.
NO dings or any kind of damage to the car seat or travel bag.

Overall Rating: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

I recently purchased the JL Childress Ultimate Padded Car Seat Travel Bag for a trip my 2 yr old son and I were taking and I was very pleased on how well this held up and how convenient it was to use. Using it as a backpack is heavy, but luckly I did not have to go far each time to check it in and somehow I found help at the airport.
I have a Britax Boulevard car seat and it fit perfectly in the bag. I was also able to store extra luggage items that weigh alot in a suitcase, such as diapers, beach towels, and a beach bag with toys and suntan lotions.
Knowing that the airlines throw your luggage around this product held its own. I did notice a little hole/frayness on the bottom of the travel bag after we arrived at our destination, but when I returned home the hole had not gotten any bigger.
My carseat was well protected and I think this is a great product for traveling. If 4-heavy duty wheels could be added to this product, then this would be an absolutely amazing product.

Good Bag, 03/31/2009

Overall Rating: 4 out of 5 4 out of 5

I bought this to transport our car seat to Colorado from Indiana. The plane ride to Colorado was great, we even stored extra things in the bag. My husband and I actually commented on how other people's bags were mangled and didn't hold up. Well, on the way back home, ours didn't either. The zipper popped open and all of our personal belongings came out. Thank goodness we only lost one baby shoe. I would recommend this bag, just be sure if you store anything else inside put it inside an additional bag. The car seat was fine and that was the main objective.

We recently traveled from Long Island to Orlando with my 10 month old son. My husband was a little hesitant to use it at first because it is so cumbersome. But in the end, he was thankful I purchased it. Who knows what kind of car seat we would have gotten from the car rental co. It fit the Britax Marathon nice and snug. We were able to stuff some extra stuff in the bag and it fit through the security check machine!

This is a great way to travel with your child's carseat and have it be well-protected from damage and dirt. The backpack makes it easy for anyone to carry. No wheels makes it lighter and easier to transport hands-free. Very pleased with this product and I'd recommend it to any parent.
