J.L. Childress Gate Check Bag for Single & Double Strollers - Travel Bag for Airplane, Fits Most Standard Baby Strollers, Airport Accessories for Gate Check, Flying Essentials - Red

This gate check bag is a total lifesaver for traveling with a stroller. We recently flew with our stroller, and the airline actually returned it damaged—but only because they removed the bag. Having the bag not only protected it during most of the trip but also ensured we were able to be compensated for the damage since the bag showed it wasn’t handled properly.✈️ Why It’s Worth Every Penny1. Protects Against Scratches & DirtWhen the bag was on, our stroller stayed clean and safe from grease, dirt, and rough handling. It’s so much better than handing over your stroller uncovered.2. Bright and Easy to SpotThe bold red color and clear “Gate Check” label make it easy to identify at baggage claim or gate pickup. We never had trouble spotting ours.3. Lightweight but StrongEven though it’s not super thick like luggage, the material is tough enough to prevent scuffs and scratches. It’s also lightweight, so it doesn’t add extra bulk.4. Compact & Easy to PackIt folds up small when not in use, which is perfect for keeping in the stroller basket or diaper bag.5. Helps With Airline ClaimsBecause the bag clearly shows when it’s been removed or mishandled, it made it easier for us to get compensation when our stroller was damaged.👍 Pros & 👎 Cons👍 Pros:Protects stroller from dirt, scuffs, and light damageBright, easy-to-spot designLightweight and packs down smallHelpful for airline claims if something goes wrong👎 Cons:Not fully padded (so heavy impacts can still damage a stroller)Drawstring closure could be a bit sturdier🎯 Final ThoughtsIf you’re flying with a stroller, this bag is a must-have. It’s affordable peace of mind—protects your stroller from dirt and scratches, and if anything does happen, it shows how the stroller was handled. I’d never travel without it again!

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.

Does not fit city select double stroller with the wheels on. Take them off and it fits right in the bag. I was able to fit the stroller, the wheels off and two toddler seats in the bag! Bag seems sturdy but I’ll really find out after I use it.

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!

Has been helpful while we’ve been traveling. Have seen two other groups use this while waiting at baggage claim. Like the color. Material is a little thin and would prefer it had some padding but has been nice to have.

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.

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.

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.
