Side by Side Comparison of: J.L. Childress vs BeBeLove USA

I hate checking my strollers. They get dirt and wet depending on the weather. This cover it pretty large I have a big umbrella stroller (I will place a picture so you can see how big). It's really not that hard to place over the stroller you pull the tie and off you go.I would personally like to see them make a thicker more durable material because it feels like after a few travel trips it would get torn. But I'll write another review if it does.I'd also like to see it have longer straps to carry over the shoulder or on your backAnd I'd like a flap that secures to either the front or the back so that no debris gets inside the stroller bagNone of these are necessary just perks.Over all I love this bag I am very please

Nice quality, wish the material was a little thicker. I'm thinking the baggage handlers are not gentle with these bags. Love the large space to write our name with a Sharpie marker, makes it so easy to find. Protected our stroller nicely. I saw a few scrapes/marks on our bag from travel, glad we used it to protect our stroller, I would not have wanted those marks on our stroller. Also, it repelled water and kept our stroller dry while in transit from the plane to baggage. I like this bag not just to protect but, to also toss other items in with the stroller. We stuffed a light jacket or put a few diapers in as stroller fly for free. Take advantage of that. . We liked so much we purchased as a gift for someone else. We also purchased the matching Car seat bag and are happy with that as well.

This bag is very handy but the bag is very large and my umbrella stroller just gets lost in it I only wish it was a little smaller. I can fit my quinny zapp xtra stroller in this bag as well.

We just took an international flight to Italy and this was the perfect gate check bag for our new stroller. I love how affordable it is compared to some of the other products on the market. It is not a padded bag, but I found that this is all that is needed to protect the stroller from moisture or any filth as it is transported to and from the plane.Pros:- This bag is super durable and held up perfectly on our international flight.- On our flight back, it was raining when we landed and because the bag is water resistant, it protected our stroller from any moisture.- Our Summer Infant 3D Light stroller fit perfectly in this bag- The strap on the outside worked great for carrying the stroller through the airport

My husband looked at me like I was crazy when I purchased this bag before our first family flight. But as we were taking our Uppababy GLuxe with us, I wanted to make sure it was protected from dirt and all the other hazards that come with flying. The bag folds up into a smaller, compact zipper pouch, so it was easy to throw in my backpack. After putting the stroller inside, I liked that it had a handle to carry until we got to the gate. I was nervous that it would get left behind (even though I know that's not likely....), and there's no way you could miss the bright red bag with "GATE CHECK" written on it! When we arrived at our destination, it was easy to pick up and pack back into the pouch. I inspected the bag after we got off the plane just to see if it picked up any dirt, and to my surprise it was filthy! My stroller was nice and clean inside, thanks to the bag! I don't think it will hold up forever, but I'd much rather replace the bag than my stroller!

I purchased this bag after my wife had expressed some concerns about our stroller getting damaged on our flights when gate checking the stroller. It was a a great investment for multiple reasons.***As others have noted, the seams may break on this bag if handled roughly by baggage handlers. To avoid this, I turned the bag inside out and put duct tape on all of the interior seams (gorilla tape would work as well). This added tremendous strength to the bag***1) This bag protected our First Years Jet Stroller to Europe and Back. The bag got dirtied and covered in snow on the tarmac but the stroller kept clean.2) When gate checking the stroller, we also put our rain cover and a winter jacket (or two) in this gate check bag. This was super helpful and made getting on/off flights much easier.3) Having the bright red bag made it easy to spot and figure out where to go to pick up the stroller as we could watch the handlers through the windows. It is often hard to tell where to go to pick up a stroller in major European airports and this bag made that much easier.4) Having the bright red bag made it easy to say "look for the bright red bag" when baggage handlers were struggling to find our stroller in the cargo hold.I will be purchasing another two bags today: one for our car seat and one for our larger stroller that we will take for domestic travel. I would give this bag six stars if I could.

This was great for the price. Used it for two airline trips. Sent it under plane with luggage. Sure glad I had it as it came out with lots of black marks and one small hole. Don't know what stroller would have looked like without it! Easy to carry with handle!

Worked for gate checking our liteway plus chicco stroller. It was a tight squeeze, but it fits! But after one trip, it already has some small holes and tears. It won't last a bunch of flights, but it is cheap enough that that's ok.

I've only used it once and it ended up with some scuffs and marks from being gate checked but no tears or anything. I feel it protected the stroller perfectly. The storage bag also is a nice touch. Nearly impossible to get it folded back up perfectly but if you get it close enough it'll fit into the bag.

This bag served its purpose. It was a little small for my Summer Infant 3Dlite, the drawstring could not be pulled completely closed, but it still kept the stroller clean. A lot of other reviews complain about the bag getting holes. I actually bought two just in case it didn't make it the whole way. My bag held up completely for a round trip using it for its intended purpose at GATE CHECK. I'm sure if you check it for regular baggage it will rip as it is only a nylon bag. It is a little hard to fold it back up as the self contained pouch is small, but it is stretchy so with a little work you can get it back into the pouch. I would definitely say to get it though, especially if you can get it at a low price.

Turn it inside out and line the seams with duct tape to help prevent tears.Also keep the plastic case it comes in because trying to fold it up back into the self contained zip pouch is nearly impossible. Much easier to roll it up and stuff it back into the plastic case.Fits umbrella stroller with plenty of room to spare.

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.

We bought this to cover our stroller for traveling via airplane. It wasn't the most amazing cover, as it has zero padding, but it did the trick...It's not great quality, but it's cheap.

Poor quality. But they are cheap. Ripped before we even got to the airport. Very thin material. But, have held through 2 flights. Will be replacing them with the Jeep travel black bags, and they were only a couple bucks more, they are much better.

Fabric is on the thin side. It held up to a round-trip flight to hawaii from CA it bundles up easily and has a small handle to carry the stroller when transporting it

Not sure if it's worth the effort. Takes some time to bag, even with a light stroller that folds easy! Basically, you still have wrangle the stroller, the bag and your baby during the boarding process when everyone is "impatiently" waiting to board! We bagged our stroller at the gate check and they ended up sending it to baggage claim after landing saying they didn't see the gate check tags or the big old "GATE CHECK" on the front of the red bag. I just don't know it's worth the hassle! If you're traveling alone this is just more of a pain in the neck then a help! I cursed myself all the way to baggage claim holding all my carry on stuff and my almost 20 lb infant through the Phoenix airport! Not sure I'll ever use it again. :(

It is really nice to have a bag covering and protecting your stroller when you go on a trip and have to fly somewhere. I really like that the bag is bright red, because it is really easy to notice and recognize it from very far away. But the biggest downside to this bag is that it only lasted one flight. After we received our stroller back at the gate, it had holes everywhere. So sad to just waste the money, but at least it kept our stroller clean and nice for one flight (we had 5 all together). So I suggest to spend a bit more money and buy a sturdier bag, it is worth it. It is not worth buying a new bag for every flight you are going to take, if you fly more than once a year. I was very disappointed in this product.Also, it did not fully fit our Chicco Multiway Evo stroller (which is not abnormally big stroller). The front wheels stayed out from the bag. I wasn't so worried about the wheels, because they are durable and most of the stroller was covered, so it was not a problem for me, but it you want to fit your whole stroller, know that this one does not fit all strollers.

I have a "double" bag as well as an "umbrella" bag. After registering for them, receiving them, using them while flying, and now thinking about them, I can say that it was unnecessary.It's a nylon bag that has white words screen printed and has a handle. you don't NEED it to fly. A big trash bag works. You can make your own. This just screams "baby stuff inside."I bought this for my Britax B-Ready umbrella stroller. It fits.I have the "double" for my Bob Jogger. But I actually put the Britax B-Safe car seat + base in it.After one R/T flight (LA to Houston) the bag is fine. No holes, it's dirty, but so is anything else in the belly of the plane. Now that i've done it, I could/should have made one myself.Also, hint is to decorate it somehow. I used blue painter's tape and plastered my name on it in a few places. Name, phone, email. Everyone has the bag. Another family almost walked away with ours because they, too, had the bag. Because I put the blue tape on it, I could easily say, I think that's mine...yours may be that other one.

Works but started to show serious wear after just one round trip.

This bag got a hole on the first flight from the belts that load the bags into the plane. We gate checked it to limit handling at the airport and it still got a hole. The bag is too large for what is typically considered an "umbrella stroller" and had a lot of extra loose fabric. Very cheaply made, but the bright color makes it easy to find.

Extremely thin. After one round trip use from the U.S. to Europe and back it's basically done for. Baggage people clearly don't care about anyone's valuables, but that is to be expected. I am traveling constantly and every time I find new scratches or tears in my baggage...so I guess I shouldn't have expected it to hold up forever! To be honest, I would buy one again, because it did get the job done as far as keeping my stroller clean and unharmed as far as scratches go. For the price, I think it is worth it to keep a stroller safe. But don't expect it to last long!

Beware! This was too short for both of our strollers. Our Maclaren Techno XL is larger for the umbrella category, but the First Year's Jet model is pretty average. The bag is too short for either. We also have the carseat cover version of this and it was snagged after our first flight and also a bit short for covering our carseat. I recommend trying another brand. The last thing you want to be doing is struggling to cover your stroller at the gate.

Other reviewers were right - this bag rips easily. We used it for our First Years umbrella stroller and when we sat it at the gate to be taken by the baggage handlers, we saw it had already ripped. Once we arrived at our destination we were able to sew it back up and it did not rip any further on the return trip. It is a nice roomy bag and we were able to stuff an extra blanket and our baby carrier in the bag as well. We'll use it on the next trip and see how it continues to hold up.

Its silly that this bag is so flimsy and not made to withstand travel, when ironically this is exactly what it is supposed to do. It worked okay overall, it protected the stroller and kept it together. However, after the very first use, when we got it back from the airline it had a huge tear on the bottom area. I don't know what they did to it but I feel like the product should stand up to wear and tear better. Isn't that what its for?

Had to send back entirely too too big for and umbrella stroller

I bought this bag and finally got to use it. It made it three one way flights before it ripped. I do not recommend buying this bag.

On the first use this item was shredded to bits. We gate checked our stroller with no plane changes. Upon arriving to our destination this bag had so many holes it wasn't worth attempting to mend it myself. On the plus side the stroller was unharmed. I just expected this bag to be able to sustain a gate check.

Got ripped on our first trip. Might as well wrap your stroller in paper. Same results. Save your money.

The gate check bag developed 2 holes after our first trip using it. The holes appeared near where the handle of the stroller touched the gate check bag. I don't expect the bag to last forever but at LEAST for one trip. Very disappointed. Hoping their lifetime "warranty" comes into play here. If not, I'll be sure to make a note to this review.

We bought this to take our cheap stroller to Argentina. This thing is HUGE!!! It could fit two of our cheap strollers with space to spare. It's meant for one of those larger strollers that collapse, not the thin travel type that you don't mind so much if it is destroyed. We immediately repackaged it and it still gathers dust in my dresser. And it turns out, we were fine without it.
