The seat gets dirtier in everyday use than on a plane! So we wash it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1833128 Sun, 24 Aug 2014 09:18:34 +0000 californiadreams 1833128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: thank you for stating the obvious that my clueless mind could not come to on its own! Yes, I bought the car seat for our second car AND for LO to sit in ON the plane, so no risk of it getting damaged with all the cargo! </p> <p>And it seems like there might be cheaper options if I ever need to check a seat for some reason, since @oliviaoblivia: mentioned they have them at target.</p> <p>thanks everyone for your input!</p> <p>I am glad I made this thread as I realized I can return it now :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1832971 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 23:58:27 +0000 shopaholic 1832971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exactly what @sunny: said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1832922 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 22:25:38 +0000 gingerbebe 1832922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought one at a consignment sale - its the same brand as your's but the kind with backpack straps for DH to wear through security.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Childress-Ultimate-Seat-Travel-Black/dp/B0009RNXNA" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Childress-Ultimate-Seat-Travel-Black/dp/B0009RNXNA</a></p> <p>BUT we bought it because we don't have a separate travel car seat and did not want to risk damaging our UP Mesa seat. Totally worth it. Same for our stroller - we bought the stroller bag too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1832644 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:37:47 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1832644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I've gate checked a seat the bag always comes back disgusting. I can't imagine what a seat without a cover would turn up looking like. Definitely a keep for me. We just use the red one they sell at target. Flight check or something like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1832634 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:32:25 +0000 Sapphiresun 1832634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought cheapie bags for the car seat and stroller. Lucky I suppose since our stroller bag was trashed, only minimal damage to the stroller.</p> <p>But for a car seat if you're buying a seat on the plane for it, I wouldn't think it's a super necessity? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1832617 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:05:20 +0000 sunny 1832617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. The bag is always filthy when we get it back from the baggage claim. I'm so glad the carseat itself is protected. As a bonus, we stow diapers in the bag along with the carseat. Free extra space ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1832614 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 17:01:56 +0000 matador84 1832614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one because I didn't want to risk damage to the seats. It was well worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1832589 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 16:30:22 +0000 Cherrybee 1832589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had never even heard of these until today. We just leave our seat in the car as a permanent fixture though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1832588 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 16:28:12 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1832588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didnt use one when we flew and our seat was fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-a-car-seat-travel-bag-necessary-which-one#post-1832566 Sat, 23 Aug 2014 16:06:42 +0000 californiadreams 1832566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a car seat travel bag today as it was on sale. I didn't do any research but have 2 weeks to return if I want.</p> <p>Are these necessary? and if so, is there a recommended one?</p> <p>I bought this one as it says it fits Safety 1st which is what i bought for our second car and for when we travel by plane (which is not very often at all).</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Childress-Wheelie-Seat-Travel-Black/dp/B000XA6DC6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1408827342&#038;sr=8-4&#038;keywords=car+seat+travel+bag" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Childress-Wheelie-Seat-Travel-Black/dp/B000XA6DC6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1408827342&#038;sr=8-4&#038;keywords=car+seat+travel+bag</a> </p>
