Great for traveling
We travel alot this comes in very handy. Easy to use just place the carseat in there and zip it up. Very sturdy for when we travel so far. The wheels have not given out on us yet. Works well. Storage space is great for adding like a pillow and blanket inside of it for when we travel so I dont have to pay for another checked bag.

Premium Wheels
The media could not be loaded. Premium wheels for the car seat. Roomy interior but not the biggest. Extremely wide and solid base. Great handles. Premium fabrics.

Does the trick
Everyone has their tricks when traveling with kids. This is a product that makes lugging a big car seat around so much easier. It does the job! We’ve been able to cram a few extra things like hiking boots in the car seat when checking it at the airport since the bag will keep it in. We do wish there was a bit more structure at the top of the bag because if you make sudden turns or rotate your hand, the bag doesn’t necessarily come with you the way you want it to. Still, totally worth the investment with just the handful of flights we’ve had with a toddler!

Easy. Works with b-safe
With the b-safe, if you arrange it properly, you can set a duffel bag on top of it and tow them both. This bag is much more durable than the cheap gate-check bags and gives you more flexibility than using a gate check bag. I realized that toting an infant carrier and a stroller (and a diaper bag and a garment bag AND a five month old) solo through the airport was complete madness when it was time to gate check the stroller and the car seat. I checked my car seat at the counter and it was one less thing I had to bag and juggle at the gate. (I returned the red gate bag - too flimsy.) This has the top handle, wheels and the back straps, so it gives you a lot of options for toting it. Seriously, practice carrying all of your luggage and child - I was sort of overwhelmed once the travel system was dismantled and bagged, but thank goodness for nice bell hops.This bag is not padded - it's just a heavy canvas and the bottom is hard where the wheels are.Also, on the trip home, I tossed some clothing in the bag under the car seat. The airline didn't open the bag to see if I had anything other than a car seat in there and I was able to check it rather than hauling a garment bag, diaper bag and stroller through the airport!

Great bag, traveled well, recommend gate checking
My husband and I did a bit of research and decided that we would not check our car seat, but would carry/roll it through the airport and gate check it. We did not want our car seat tossed about behind the scenes. Rough handling can potentially ruin the safety features, cracking the foam inside the seat. That said, it traveled really well. On our last trip we had layovers both ways, and gate checked the seat on all the flights, retrieving it on the layover and rechecking at the next gate. It can be carried as a backpack, but we chose to roll it, and it performed as expected. We have the Britax B-Safe Infant Car Seat, Black, and both the seat and base fit well. The seat should be attached to the base, and it must be turned the correct direction to close easily.I read a few of the reviews on this travel bag (and several others) prior to purchasing, and I suspect many of the poor reviews on this one came from people who actually checked their seats through instead of taking them through the airport. After gate checking it on four flights, our bag is as good as new, and we're pleased to know the seat has had minimal handling. Since this bag fits all Britax car seats, we'll still be able to use it when we move up to the next size seat.

Britax Car Seat Travel Bag
I'm VERY disappointed with Britax over their car seat travel bag. It does NOT come with instructions on how to utlize it. My B-Safe seat's manual also does NOT explain how to use this optional bag.I discovered thru trial and error (NO thanks to Britax), that you need to place the seat upside down in the bag. Also, the seat base level (angle) should be tilted all the way forward. If you incorrectly place the seat and base into the bag right side up, you'll have the seat base's sharp edge painfully DIGGING into your back, and you'll be applying excessive stress to the bag and zippers. Why no instructions? How much would a piece of paper cost?The bag SHOULD have an internal reinforcement under the grab handle stretching the full width of the top of the bag. But it doesn't. Thus pulling the bag on its wheels or picking up the bag is an awkward and clumsy affair.The wheels do NOT feature pull over cover, for use during backpack mode. Thus, the back of your pants become horribly dirty from the wheels when you carry it as a backpack.The shoulder straps have MINIMAL padding. Very uncomfortable.The enclosure for the owner's ID card (located at the top of the bag) has no provision for "retaining" the white paper card. If the bag is placed on its side, the card falls out (a rather purpose defeating design flaw)I'm shocked that in year 2012, Britax did NOT design the zipper heads to accomodate a travel lock. Any time you would check this bag in rather than carry-on, attaching a (TSA-approved) travel lock is a must nowadays. In fact, when traveling abroad, many airlines require you to sign a disclaimer if your checked bags don't have locks.What could have been a great car seat travel bag is full of short sighted design flaws. I'm extremely unhappy with Britax's execution.Update: One week after receiving the bag, I put it to the test carrying my new B-Agile stroller. I traveled on United, on 4 aircraft. Now, there are 2 puncture holes in the main body of the bag. And, the reinforced material at the bottom has 2 areas rubbed on the verge of puncturing. In this day and age, there are nylon luggage materials that are highly resistant to abrasion and punctures. However, Britax did NOT use such materials in the construction of this bag. For the premium price, they certainly should have. I'm extremely disappointed.
