Does what it's supposed to do - protect a stroller
I ordered this and the matching carseat bag before taking a trip with my 7-month old during December - prime holiday airport rush.I used it to gate check his stroller (part of a travel system with an infant carrier carseat) on 4 different flights. The first three flights, the bag came back to me with some minor dirt. On the 4th flight, there was a miscommunication, and someone at the gate sent my carseat and stroller to regular checked baggage ... so it rode the conveyor belts into the baggage claim carousel. The bag had a few minor scuffs and snags (and what looked like an oil stain) but no rips. It was storming, and all the luggage on the carousel was wet, but my stroller stayed dry inside the bag.The bright red color is a plus, as it made it easy to spot at each gate and again at the baggage claim carousel.It works wonderfully if you use it as advertised ... a bag to keep dirt, minor wetness and scuffs from you GATE CHECKED stroller. It's not meant to ride through the checked baggage system, but even if it does, I can attest to the fact that it will survive.My one concern is that my stroller just fit into it. Once my stroller was folded down, I sat it on the bag and pulled the bag up over the stroller, and the top of the bag just covered the handlebar. I could cinch it closed, but without an inch to spare. It's a larger stroller, so most strollers should fit.(FYI, Delta at both St. Louis and Columbus airports no longer carries the clear plastic bags for carseats and strollers, which made me doubly glad I had brought this with me.)

Anyone who has flown has probably seen that the cargo hold isn't always the safest place and luggage can often times get damaged
Usually when my wife and I travel, it's to the pacific northwest to visit family, which is even more true now that we have a baby. If you have a baby, you know how much extra stuff you have to take with you than before as you travel. Trying to navigate the airport with the baby and all the extra gear, plus your usual carryons can be quite intimidating, so taking a stroller to transport your little one and some of the bags is a much needed luxury. But of course when you get to the gate, the stroller will get folded down and put in the cargo hold. Anyone who has flown has probably seen that the cargo hold isn't always the safest place and luggage can often times get damaged or dirty. Not only were we worried about this, but also about the rain that comes with the pacific northwest, as we didn't want to stroller to be soaked upon arrival when we needed to put our baby back in. The gate check bag can't really prevent damage, but it will keep the stroller dry and clean. We have flown a few times now and twice we have gotten the stroller back with grease and grime on the bag which would have been on the stroller otherwise, and who wants their baby playing with aircraft grease? That alone has made this bag worth it, but on top of that, the airline workers that take the gate checked luggage to and from the ramp have often commented to us that they love these type of bags. Being in the bag, they don't have to worry about parts of the stroller snagging things as they move it, plus the handle on the bag makes it easier for them to lift and carry it. Now I'm not saying it is one way or the other, but I typically assume that when their job is made easier, they are more likely to take better care of our luggage and things. So if you want to keep your stroller clean, dry, and reduce the risk of damage, this bag is a great way to go.

Giant Red Bag for Strollers
It's big, it's red, but it's not a dog. This is a fairly sturdy bag for gate-checking your stroller/car seat. It's really large so you can fit most folding strollers into it fairly easily. But it won't offer a lot of protection if that's what you're looking for, but it will help keep items together and drier than if you didn't have it.Pretty compact when folded up or easy to stuff into a corner. Recommended.

Visible, very big and prevents scratches
I have an uppababy stroller and was looking to gate check it while flying and didn't want the frame to come back all scratched up. This bag was an inexpensive option to try and it did fine on 2 flights so far.Pros:- Bright color makes it easy to spot your stroller as you deplane- Large size fits my uppababy stroller and the full seat attachment without issue- Drawstring keeps it closed- The little storage pouch makes it easy to store this away when you don't need it. It fit easily into my diaper bag and we pulled it out just before boarding- Good for a dirty stroller - I used the bag while traveling to keep a muddy stroller out of a friend's car. Worked great and hosed down afterwards without issueCons:- There's no padding, so if you're looking for a cushier option, try something else. I'm comfortable with my stroller showing some wear over time, so this wasn't a big deal to me- I suspect this will only last a few flights (maybe 4 roundtrips?), but again, the low cost makes that an acceptable trade-off for me. I'll probably get another one if this one tears.
