The bag fell apart at the seams as soon as I pulled it out of the bag!!!! Didn't even have a chance to use it! Really dissapointing! Especially since I'm traveling tomorrow!!!! I would spend the extra $$ and get the padded bag offered on [@]!

I was excited to get a bag to protect my stroller. I used it on two round trip trips and the bottom has ripped out. I have a single umbrella stroller and didn't place anything extra in the bag.

I wasn't expecting much because of the low cost of this item, so I wasn't surprised when the seams ripped on the way home from our frist trip using it. Overall it's a great idea and I wish it held up better.

I bought this for my Graco IPO stroller. The stroller was easy enough to put in the bag and it fit well. We put the stroller in the bag just before going through security. Before we were even half way to our gate, the seam started to rip on the handle side of the bag. The thin nylon material just tore away from the stitching. We ended up buying duct tape and taping the seams for our return trip. I would not recommend this for larger umbrella strollers. It may work well for the cheap, light-weight $20 strollers though.

I have bought a total of two of these bags over the past 3 months and neither one has lasted through one trip. I purchased the first bag to protect my Combi umbrella stroller on a airplane to the Northwest. At the end of the trip the bag was splitting at the seams. I bought a second one last week for a airplane trip to the New England states and it is also damaged. Another problem is there is no carrying strap on the outside of the bag.

i used this when we went to california to visit our family almost 2 years ago.it held my (at the time) baby planet full sized umbrella style stroller and it had tons of space left in the bag. i checked it at the gate and when i picked up when when we landed it was alittle dirty on the outside but my stroller was intact! nice and clean! i also bought the car seat bag and used it for my daughters infant seat..it worked great...so far both worked great..this December were flying down to texas to visit family...i still have the car seat bag and it hold my daughters britax or evenflo triumph prefect!( we have 2 car seats,just incase. one is in the basement IN THE BAG) i plan on using it when we fly with the britax car seat. i also plan on buying the DOUBLE STROLLER BAG as i now have a city mini and it will not fit in the single bag.

Pros: keeps stroller clean

light and easy to store away (when your able to fit it in that bag!)

bright so easy to see

can use it to store things so it wont get dirty when not using it(i use it to store my extra stroller and i use the car seat bag to store my extra car seat)

Cons: cheap fabric (many people said it ripped, hasnt for me yet)

not that easy to carry, even with the "carry" strap (if your stroller doesnt fit it perfect and theres space it will make it awkward to carry)

not easy to put back into the bag (once you opened it, its kinda hard to stuff back into the bag..it takes a few minutes!)

over all for the price i think its a pretty good deal

I purchased this bag to keep my Maclaren triumph clean while I flew. The bag and stroller went on 4 planes and the bag held up well. I checked the stroller at the terminal and we all know that things are handled rough under the plane. This bag has a few scratches and a small hole in it now but it kept my stroller clean and damage free. Love it!

I use this product to keep my child's Maclaren stroller clean. It's great coz it's not bulky and you can just fold it if you don't use it and it's very handy.

I bought this bag for an upcoming trip and am super excited with the size of the bag. My Maclaren Triumph fits in the bag with room to spare. The fabric seems like it will hold up well and it seems like it will serve it's purpose.
