Review on Secure & Durable Car Seat Travel Bag - Save Money On Air Travel With The V VOLKGO Gate Check Bag! by Curtis Thilges

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Made flying much easier!

We got 2 of these knowing that we needed to fit a booster seat with back, carseat for a 1 year old and a hiking backpack carrier into them. We flew to Colorado from Indianapolis. I've seen all the comments about these types of carriers being fragile, easily ripped or damaged and for this type, the top not fully closing. I was pleased with the bags' travel though!This type allowed multiple carry options including as a backpack (HUGE game changer for pack mule dad's through an airport). I wore one pack on my back, one laid sideways with the handle strap securing it on our wheeled suitcases and this allowed my wife to push the stroller through the airport and terminals, letting us spend less time keeping awkward items from falling and more time keeping an eye on our kids and where we are going.The durability was better than expected. There was evidence of large black smudges/scuffs on the back with some other evidence that it went through a trolley and travel system but I'm glad that was on the bags and not the car seats/booster. I would have felt the need to clean this off before putting my daughters in the seats, not knowing what all they ran up against (never trust Airport cleanliness).As for security, the top of the bag is a thick drawstring close with small flap to attempt some degree of concealment. The bag stays closed despite the rough handling it received. After how much stress it saved me during transport and peace of mind knowing that the materials my daughters laid their heads against was mostly clean, this was no longer a point of matter for me. I would highly recommend these bags as I was initially skeptical, but definitely worth the price to me!

Pros
  • 13.7 ounces
Cons
