J.L. Childress Gate Check Travel Bag for Umbrella Strollers, Red | AirTag compatible Gate Check Bag keeps strollers clean, protected & easy to identify when airport gate checking

This is my second time purchasing this bag! It works so well for my Uppa Baby G-Luxe when I gate check it. It folds into a little bag that is sewn into the bag so you never lose it. It has a handle on the middle part so its easy to carry around, Thick material to protect your stroller. I used the first one for 5 years on countless flights and it finally developed a small hole in it so I decided to get another one.

The J.L. Childress Gate Check Bag for Single Umbrella Strollers has been a lifesaver for our family travel! As a toddler mom, keeping our stroller safe and clean during flights is a top priority, and this bag does an excellent job. The bright red color makes it easy to spot at the gate, and it fits our umbrella stroller perfectly. The bag is durable and well-made, providing ample protection against scuffs and dirt. I love that it’s lightweight and folds up compactly for easy storage in the storage bag that it rolls up into, when we’re not using it. Plus, the drawstring closure is secure, ensuring the stroller stays safely tucked inside. Final Thoughts: If you travel frequently with a toddler and need a reliable stroller bag, I highly recommend the J.L. Childress Gate Check Bag! It’s practical, easy to use, and gives me peace of mind knowing our stroller is well protected during air travel!

We have a slight larger than average umbrella stroller. Not huge but not one of the really small ones. This bag was right on the borderline of being too small. It worked and we were able to get it closed with the drawstring. This bag worked well at protecting the stroller and making it visible at the baggage claim.

I had to write this review after I saw that the last couple of reviews had been pretty bad for this product given that I believe the contrary. First some context: I am a father of two and owner of 3 strollers and 3 car seats. I travel with my wife and daughters between 3-4 times a year. I have purchase other bags for the purpose of covering my strollers and car seats in the past but have now settled with this "gate check" bag. As parents know, traveling with small children requires patience and a lot of stuff. Having something that protects your stuff is key if you want to use it more than once. For that reason I have purchased a bag for each of my strollers and car seat that I used when traveling on a plane. It is cleared to me that if you don't use a bag your stuff will get damage or dirty easily. If you have an expensive stroller or car seat and want to keep it intact you probably need to buy the brand's hard bag. No need to lie here. This bag is great for its intended purpose but it is still made from normal threads so if you want bullet-proof material, don't think that this one will stand to your expectations. This bag is great to keep your normal stroller clean and it would protect it from its normal wear and tear. It won't protect it from a clumsy or awful bag taker. The only way you are going to be saved from those people is having a hard bag but that it is impossible when you are gate checking. In others words this is as good as you get for gate checking bags. In terms of fitting well, check the right size for your stroller and car seat. There is a bag for each purpose. I have purchased the umbrella stroller size and it fit perfectly for my Uppa Baby stroller. I have another umbrella stroller that I just purchased for my youngest and it also fit that one pretty well. Sorry cant remember that brand of stroller right now but it is something like "first something". For my car seats I have a three Graccos. One is a infant car seat and the other two are toddlers car seat. In the three occasions I purchased the "car seat" sized bag and it worked perfectly. I have to say that I have had bad flights were they teared my bag but those are more the exemption to the rule. In general what happens normally in a flight is that the bag will get really dirty. Just washed afterwardsw and that is it. In terms of how easy is to storage it I will have to say that it doesn't required for you to be a scientist to get the entire bag back into the small self-contained bag. What I do is that I keep it in the stroller all the time after folding it back. That way I don't search for the bag when I am traveling. In terms of putting strollers or car seats in the bag when at the gate. My rutile is pretty simple. I normally go first and leave my wife and daughters at the door of the plane. I leave the bags in our seats and go back to the door. Then I fold and bagged strollers and enter the plane with my wife. Putting the strollers in their respective bags is relatively easy. If you purchased the right size it should be that problematic. It take me a few seconds as I already got all the tricks. I hope this review helped you.

Great quality gate check bag. Fit our umbrella stroller well. Color bright to find easily. Very durable. Highly recommend

This bag works to keep your stroller clean & probably less banged up than without it but don't expect it to stand up to super rough handling. It is a lightweight bag, not a heavy duty bag but this is reflected in the price. There was plenty of room for my umbrella stroller to fit w/the easy adjuster to tighten the cord. I did take the advice of a reviewer of this one or the car seat bag & used duct tape on the seams prior to the flights. I purchased both the umbrella stroller bag & the car seat bags & both held up well--no rips or tears & no damages or dirt added to baby equipment. Even hubby thought this was a good idea AFTER he saw another dad pick up their gate-checked stroller (without a bag) have a bunch of stuff fall out of the stroller since they hadn't emptied the basket before gate-checking. This bag did what I expected, kept my stroller clean!

I must say, stepping off the plane with my J.L. Childress DELUXE Gate Check Bag in tow, I felt like a traveling wizard who’d just discovered a spell for effortless flying with kids. Who knew a bag could make breezing through those airport gates feel like a walk in the park? Its fabric, as rugged as Iron Man’s suit, stood undefeated against the tests of jostles, tosses, and the vigorous handling that is the rite of passage for every piece of luggage daring to enter the airline’s cargo hold. In the epic battle of Bag vs. Elements, this gate check bag emerged victorious, my stroller unscathed and triumphant. In the twist of fate that saw me stranded in the airport overnight, this bag proved its worth as not just a protector but a comforter. As plush and comforting as a Care Bear’s hug, it morphed into a makeshift pillow. Amidst the cold, harsh lights of the terminal, I found solace and warmth, the gentle embrace of the bag ushering me into a world of dreams. So fellow voyagers, the J.L. Childress DELUXE isn’t just another piece of travel gear - it’s an armored shield and a tender companion. It doesn’t just safeguard your stroller; it guards your peace of mind and comfort, ensuring that every journey, no matter how arduous, ends in sweet victory.

Loved the car seat case from this brand so it was an easy choice when picking a case for an umbrella stroller. Unfortunately, after our first flight using it, the bottom had a rip in it. Mind you there were no sharp edges on the stroller, so it was disappointing to see the fabric not being as durable. Thank goodness for the longer Amazon return policy for baby items.

Perfekter Schutz für den Buggy. Tolles Material und leicht zu bedienen.

Fits our 4Baby pram perfectly! Very happy with my purchase.

Muy buena compra la recomiendo me sirvió mucho para el viaje

Excellent

Not particularly thick fabric but held up fine in the airplane hold. Buggy was put in the bag at the door of the airplane and collected on the oversized carousel. Space to write name on the bag. Silver Cross Pop buggy fitted fine.
