There are so many different types and styles of car seat travel bags to choose from. Whether you want to roll your car seat or wear it as a back pack. Protect it from the baggage handlers, or just strap it to your luggage and go. We will help you find the perfect car seat travel bag for you.
But let’s start with a question we get a lot:
Do airlines provide bags for car seats?
Most airlines will allow you the option to bring your car seat with you on the plane, or check it in. And there is no requirement either way for it to be in a travel bag, so they do not typically provide bags. However, some airlines may have cellophane for you to wrap your car seat with, or provide a plastic bag to put it into.
These options however, don’t measure up to what car seat travel bags can offer you in terms of protection and convenience. Read on to learn more.
This is a great car seat travel bag with wheels. Wheels truly do make all the difference when you’re having to travel with a heavy car seat. Especially if you plan on having to walk any distance with it. Simply use the padded and secure handle to tip and pull along the car seat travel bag. And with just as much ease as your other luggage! However, if you do encounter cobble stones or an uneven pathway, there are also sturdy backpack straps and handles on this bag. So you have different options for how to carry it.
This bag was not only built to last with its sturdy construction, but it also was built to help make your car seat last too. With built in padding where it matters most, you can also rest assured. Your car seat will survive even the craziest of baggage handling at the airport.
Baggage handlers are notorious for treating checked luggage with little to now care. When they need to get the bags loaded and unloaded from the plane in a short time frame, there will inevitably be throwing and banging of bags. That is why it’s so important to consider the protective padding of your car seat travel bag.
This particular bag stands out from the rest of the car seat travel bags in that it is fully padded on all sides. Plus, it has the padded wing component to ensure the headrest is not damaged either. The padding used is also higher quality and denser to absorb any shocks and protect the car seat from getting damaged in transit.
If you’re looking for something compact and comfortable to carry, this backpack-style car seat travel bag is perfect for you. I love that it folds down so small that it can fit into a wristlet pouch. It is also a very lightweight option, which makes it all the easier to wear it as a backpack. The backpack straps are sturdy and adjustable, and though the shoulder padding is minimal, its better than most other options on the market.
With this bag, you’ll want to keep in mind that it is so compact and lightweight because it really is just a dust bag for your car seat. This bag will protect your car seat from getting dirty, and help make it easier to transport with it’s backpack feature. But it does not have the durability and protective features that the other car seat travel bag options offer.
If you’re looking for a booster seat travel bag, this is our favorite. Thankfully, booster seats are a lot less cumbersome to travel with, however, dragging them around without a proper bag can still be a hassle. This bag was specifically created for booster seats, and to make them easier to travel with. One of the greatest travel-friendly features is the back strap that allows you to attach the bag easily to your upright luggage’s handle. This means you don’t need any extra hands to tote this around. But if you do decide to throw it over your shoulder instead, the long handles make it much more comfortable to do so.
The bonus with this bag is that it doesn’t look like a booster travel bag. It looks like a regular travel bag that could be used even once you now longer need it for a booster seat.
Maybe you don’t need a car seat travel bag after all, maybe what you really need is a car seat travel belt instead! This strap has been a heaven send for many parents on their journey through airports with car seats and children in tow. This ingenious belt harnesses your car seat to your luggage, making it infinitely easier to transport.
It’s so sturdy too that there are many review pictures of parents with their kids still in the car seat and rolling them through the airports attached to their luggage. That’s the level of sturdy that this strap offers.
