Works great. Protects stroller. Pretty durable.
Item is great. Overall durable. Works well to protect your stroller while traveling, keeps your stroller clean and is bright enough to get the attention of anyone looking for it. (I got the red one) Would recommend anyone get this if you bring your stroller along with you flying.

Perfect for our first family trip
Went on our first family trip this summer, and this was a lifesaver. Wanted to protect our stroller while also making sure we could find it easily at baggage claim with the bright red color. Love how the cover itself is also the storage bag & the handle on top made it easy to lift. Great design.

Good buy
There were no tears or rips to worry about, which made the journey so much smoother. Plus, the handle straps were super convenient, making it easy to carry everything we needed. It truly made our adventure more enjoyable!

Mixed feelings
The quality feels good for the price. We used it for a round trip flight. After the first flight, there were a couple rips already and after the second flight there were several more. I’m disappointed that I might only be able to use it one more time before it falls apart. However, it did protect my stroller!

Good Quality for the Price
Good travel bag for the price. I have bought a few of these and they do the job. Easy to fold up and use -the material is well and durable. we usually get a decent amount of plane rides in before we need to replace. This is not the products issues -those airport transfers can be rough and it just gets normal wear and tear over time.

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.

Fits Graco Ready2Jet very well
We haven’t actually traveled with the stroller bag yet, but are currently using it to store the Graco Ready2Jet. The width is perfect, but there is lots of empty space at the top. This is easily solved by folding over the excess fabric and wrapping a luggage strap, also bought on Amazon, around from top to bottom.
