Eddie Bauer Car Seat Bag

We recently went to Chicago to meet up with mommychoy's college friends. It was the first time that we had traveled without my mother-in-law; it was also the first time that we brought along the twins' carseats, instead of the portable ones we had been carrying back when they were younger.

I looked at several car seat travel bags before finally settling in on the Eddie Bauer Car Seat Travel Bag. It got great reviews on Amazon, and not coincidentally, the car seats were Eddie Bauer as well! Unfortunately, it was impossible to find on-line; other people were scouring the web, desperate to find one.

Then I lucked into one at Target. It was on clearance for around $12, and I immediately snapped it up. After looking at other Target stores in the area, I found another one. Success!

The bag itself seems to made of heavy vinyl. The material seemed very durable, not flimsy at all. A carry strap was provided as well. At first, I was worried that the bag was too small. I kept trying to put the car seat in, but it just wouldn't fit! Finally (after twenty minutes of struggling) I figured out that I was putting the car seat in incorrectly. So much for my college degree.

How did it handle the travel? Very well. No scratches, no holes, and the car seats made it through without any rips or tears. The only con is that it's a bit awkward to carry, but that's probably the car seat's fault.

BOTTOM LINE:
Rating: 5 out of 5. Protects the car seat extremely well. The only bad thing is that it's almost impossible to find now. Check the Target store near you--it might still be on clearance. Otherwise, eBay is your best bet.
