Durable and easy to carry!
This product is very sturdy! As advertised and has a carrying handle/ strap for easy carrying and transport! Definitely glad I got this for our trip. The size was perfect for our wagon and the color was nice and bright and easy for me to find at baggage claim.

Solid Purchase
I chose this item because it was bright and vibrant. It didn't seem like cheap material, and it wasn't. The design is pretty simple, and it looks exactly like the picture. I used it twice when traveling, and it has not torn or given me any issues.I don't regret buying it.

Great product for price but doesn't fit jogger strollers
I bought this last minute before our trip and ordered it because it came quickly. However, I didn't measure my stroller before ordering and it didn't fit over my stroller which is a Chico Jogger stroller. It fit over the sides just fine but wouldn't go over the front wheel even when we tried to fold it in. We made it work by tying the drawstring to the bottom of the stroller but the front wheel stuck out when we gate checked it. If I had a travel stroller it would've been perfect.

Car seat survived!
Bag and car seat survived a plane ride from LA to Miami! I even added a pack of spare diapers on the way back and they made it.

Great buy
Size is as described.The bag itself is thin, but it’s comparable to my other bags that I store car seats in. I purchased the blue large bag and it really is huge. I have a large and kind of bulky double stroller (pictured) and it fits this with room to spare. I would absolutely recommend this for airport travel.

Shoddy Workmanship, Great Idea
Edited to add: Bag fell apart and ruptured at the seams on second leg of first journey. It was a complete waste of my money and time. Do not follow in my disappointed footsteps.******Original Review******I have a Maclaren Techno XLR stroller and while it does collapse into an Umbrella style fold, it is really rather large and quite long. I had tried other travel bags, but they did not fit my stroller and I was not interested in paying what Maclaren wanted for a travel bag given how little we fly.I ordered this and am happy to say that the stroller fits well.Yet, I am only giving it two stars because the bag was not very well sewn and the fabric is far too flimsy for its intended purpose. The seam allowances are ragged and skimpy. The entire bag arrives folded in upon itself in a small pouch which is incorperated into the bag at the top near the opening. The idea of self storage is great, but the storage pouch is very small and requires precise oragami folds to get the entire gate check bag into the small pouch. In addition, the zipper on the pouch is very flimsy and the seams around the zipper were so frayed as to render it impossible to zip up the pouch as the threads kept getting into the zipper and stopping any forward or backward movement.I wrestled with the zipper for almost 20 minutes and finally got it free. I then turned the pouch inside out and used a lighter to singe/melt the frayed nylon threads and seams as to render them sealed and no longer intruding into the zipper space. Now I can open and close the zipper, but it is still not a smooth process since the zipper is so flimsy.I really like the idea and size of this bag, but I cannot recommend it for anyone. Frankly, I think I should have gotten the more expensive Maclaren travel bag as I doubt this bag will survive more than one plane trip. Given that the purpose of this bag is to protect a necessary item while undergoing rough treatment, it is inadequate. I would get far more protection if I took along a large lawn trash bag, placed my stroller inside and then taped it up with some red packing tape. For far less money I would have more protection for my stroller, though it would have looked horrible.I have other accessories from J.L. Childress that were of excellent quality, and so I overlooked the other reviewers claims of shoddy construction. Alas, they were correct. While I will still buy from the company, I have learned my lesson and will stay far away from their items with less than stellar reviews.

Bag didn't work great with Graco click connect stroller due to wheel width
Why did you pick this product vs others?:We used this for a Graco click connect single child stroller with the bassinet attachment. It was so difficult to fit in this one. (Maybe I got the wrong size?) I did remove the cupholder, detachable tray, and the bassinet piece. It did rip after our first flight. The wheels made it too wide for this bag, so it was really difficult to take in and out.

10/10!
Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great for travel if you don’t want to buy an expensive cover! Worked amazing for checking the stroller at the gate!
