Baby Products Reviews of 2-in-1 Car Seat Cover `n Carry
Customer Review: Fell apart the very first time I used it!
Summary: 1 Stars
**Update from my earlier review (below)**
After contacting customer service, they sent me a new bag at no charge, no questions asked. I don't know if I will use it or sell it, but I do feel that that was an impressive response from the company and would therefore increase my star rating if I could.

Original review:
This bag is a great concept, but the quality is very poor. Similar to other reviewers, I used this as a wheeled bag for only one trip and had two very large holes on the bottom when I reached my destination. However, it most likely would have still been usable had the zippers not fallen off when I was taking the car seat out!
Save yourself some money and find something else. What I wound up doing in desperation that worked really well was taking a shoulder strap from my carry-on bag and looping it through the car seat so that I could carry it like a purse over my shoulder.
Customer Review: Mom of three flies alone
Summary: 5 Stars
I have three children (four and under). I fly between New York and Detroit several times year with all three children, all by myself. When the baby moved up to the big car seat (Britax Roundabout) I was concerned how to lug my three children, two Britax seats and a diaper bag from the parking lot, through check-in and the airport to the plane. This carrier saves my life and in the winter easily stores the kids three winter coats with the car seat as we wheel down to the gate. I would HIGHLY recommend this product. I wish that I had known about it sooner. TIP: I use the Graco DuoGLide double stroller. The baby (14 months) sits in the front seat (canopy and tray removed) my middle son (almost three) sits in the rear seat. I flip one Britax upside down between the two seats and put the other in the carrier to either pull or wear on my back. Also, I ship our clothes to the destination a week ahead so that I have less luggage.
Customer Review: Wheels are great, one major flaw
Summary: 2 Stars
I have used this bag a few times and it works well in some ways. My Britax Roundabout fits spaciously (as long as it is positioned backwards), and the wheels on the bottom are genius. One major flaw is that the clips that attach the backpack straps to the bag are positioned so they dig into your shoulders when you wear the seat on your back. It is extremely painful, so I have not been able to continue using it as a backpack. I'm now looking for some terry cloth arm bands people wear on their wrists for tennis, and I'm going to try to use those to cover the clips. If I could, I would return this bag for something more comfortable. In the meantime, we attach it to a rolling suitcase and pull it on its wheels, which works sufficiently well, although it is a bit awkward and tippy. I have not (yet) had the fabric tearing problem that the majority of other reviewers complain about. Maybe I just got lucky with gentle airline handlers.Customer Review: Poor product for air travel
Summary: 1 Stars
I agree with other reviewers--too flimsy. It survived the first use (barely), but I wound up with a hole in the bag because it was dragging on the ground as it rolled (the bag is not supported by anything except right where the wheels attach). But the zipper partially broke that trip, and by end of the first trip, the zipper had completely come off the track so that it had to be taped up by the baggage handlers to keep it around the car seat. It might work okay for a small car seat, but we have a larger Cosco Alpha Omega Elite, and it was a struggle to get it in and out every time. I just bought a Safe To Go Wheelie car seat travel bag with wheels (for only $10 more) and the seat goes into it easily, it has a base that's got some support to keep it from dragging, and seems a bit sturdier. I also got a sunshade for $6 that's a lot smaller (about the size of a softball) and more convenient than the Safefit protector.Customer Review: Seat Protector Did Not Protect....It Damaged Our Car Seat !!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a great concept for families who frequently travel, but in the few short weeks we have owned the protector, we have had TERRIBLE experience with it...
We have used the protector for only TWO roundtrips. By the end of the first trip, the canvas had torn at the bottom where the wheels are (a metal bar is now partially exposed). During the second trip, the canvas had worn a hole and our carseat (an Evenflo Triumph 5 which was purchased on the same day as the protector) became damaged where the hole is. In addition to the hole, one of the zipper pulls ripped off. It also has not been easy to put the car seat in the protector. What should be self-explanatory really is not in this case (instructions would have been helpful).
We purchased the protector to protect our car seat investment; however, it has backfired on us and now we are left with a defective product and a damaged car seat.
