Life & $$ saver for sure!
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!

Fits Chicco Nextfit car seat!
I needed a travel bag for a cross-country flight with my 21 month old. I had no problems packing the car seat in. You must put the seat fully upright and take your time, and it zips up easily. It's so much easier pulling a 25 pound car seat than strapping it to your back. Yes, it's only a cloth handle but I had no issues maneuvering. I had my diaper bag over my shoulder, pulled this bag, and alternated between carrying my 22 pound kid and pushing her in a stroller one-handed, and still had no problems with this bag. The TSA security guys also had no problems removing and putting the car seat back into the bag. It doesn't seem very tough but survived treks through parking lots and terminals. I will be using this again for future air travel. And the cloth handle worked fine, though others who are taller (I'm 5'4") may have a different opinion. It also lies flat and easily stores in the overhead bins on the plane.

Doesn’t work
This is not sturdy, it doesn’t wheel easily at all, and it ripped on the first use. The bag dragged practically the entire time we walked through the airport. It’s a poor design and is poorly made.

Wheels past the backpack
The media could not be loaded. Perfectly functional for the price. Roomy interior, good zippers, nice wheeled base built in. It could be a little thicker and the strap keeps the base attached for sure.

Great bag! Not as durable as we thought
We bought this 1 year ago and took it on about 4 round trips and the wheels were ripped off in transit during a trip we were just on. Overall size of the bag was perfect for our large toddler car seat and would fit many other car seats, love the zipper instead of draw string that some cheaper options offer and favorite feature was the wheels, made for smooth transit with multiple car seats and bags. Disappointed the wheels came off so soon, the rest of the bag is intact but there are no straps to put on your back, only a sling to put over your arm which made it quite difficult to maneuver after the wheels fell off.

Great Travel Bag for Britax Boulevard Car Seat
I have owned one of these for years and we've used it to take our Britax Boulevard car seat on numerous flights, going over to Europe and as far as the South Pacific. We all know how luggage gets treated by the airlines and this travel bag has been beaten up quite a bit. But it perfectly protected our car seat through years of travel. After all these years the zipper only works on one side, but so far this is just a minor inconvenience as it closes just fine if you pull the zipper all around.It has wheels so you can pull it, but because it doesn't have a pull-out handle like suitcases do, you may be hunched over a little bit if you are a tall (I am 6' 3"). You can't carry it on your back like the Britax travel bag, which is why we tried that one when we needed a second recently. Please see my review on the Britax travel bag for details, but we ultimately returned it and bought another JL Childress Wheelie, because this is hands down the best car seat travel bag I've found.I have only tried it with a Britax Boulevard, so I can't say if it fits most other car seats as well as ours. But if it does, I recommend it for anyone traveling on airplanes at least occasionally. You'll be glad to protect your car seat given how expensive they can be. The one caveat is that carrying it is not easy if your car seat is heavy and pulling it can be a little wobbly sometimes, but for the relatively short distances in most airports, this is not an issue.

Perfect!!
I ordered this item to put my son's Graco Nautilus car seat in for our one way trip. I will be traveling alone with him and checking the car seat in before going through security. I have not yet tested the item as far as how it will handle during the flight but it seems durable enough for me. I really only need it to hold up this one time but if it lasts longer that would be great. It fits the car seat well and it was not difficult to put the car seat in the bag. all I did was fluff up the bottom so that the car seat would pretty much sit right in it when I set it on the bag and I propped the back of the bag against my sofa so that it would not fall into the bag as the car seat was being put in it. It even gave me enough room to place 3 six packs of my son's pediasure bottles in it, 2 large blankets, The canopy for my son's umbrella stroller, and a few other items. I tested out how it would roll with the car seat in it on my carpeted floors and it works great. I'm 5'1" and The top handle to pull it with is perfect for me. I would definitely recommend. Even if it only lasted one trip I would rather have to get another one than another car seat.
