First off this thing is HUGE, way bigger than my little Graco travel system carseat. I could have very easily put the carseat base in there as well (as was my original plan, but this seat does not require a base so I left it at home rather than haul around the extra weight). This cover will also easily fit my larger seat that my husband keeps in his car. In fact it would likely hold two of the small Graco carseat/carriers! Remember not to leave your handle up!
There is a lot of padding and it protected the seat very well- I know a lot of reviews expressed concern about that. And with the extra space- vast, vast quantities of extra space- I was able to pack my boppy pillow, extra diapers, blankets, and on the way back, two big loaves of Portuguese Sweet Bread (very subject to being smooshed in the suitcase, but well protected riding in the carseat!). With a large carseat, you won't have this luxury but for the small-to-medium seats you'll have tons of room! (I learned this trick from another reviewer so passing the idea on to y'all!)
The backpack feature was pretty good, ergonomic, and comfortable although I did not schlep it around for very long. I did see two other people on my trip wearing theirs and it seemed to be easy to handle- one was a very petite woman with two kids and a rather big carseat and she managed very well. It went through the baggage checking process perfectly with no rips or holes and no damage to the zipper. (But I credit some of that to Southwest having very nice baggage-handlers who take pride in not damaging people's luggage.)
One last note, some airports will put carseats on the luggage carousel, but some will bring them to the "oversized baggage" area. Check there if you don't see your seat come up with the rest of your stuff! (Oakland put my seat in the other area but put my way huger and more cumbersome stroller on the carousel, it doesn't make much sense but there is a specific policy about dealing with carseats so be sure to ask about that before you panic as the carousel stops and you haven't gotten your carseat yet!)
I am very glad I bought this product and can check my carseat with confidence! Definitely recommended and despite the date on this review (April 1st) NO FOOLIN' this thing is great!
Car seat- Graco Snugride 35 Lite DLX
I do not trust car rental car seats and always prefer to take our own, I like that once you get past security you can pack whatever you want into this bag, gate check it (for free on almost all airlines) and get a few more items in without these ridiculous baggage fees. Great for coats, etc. The carrier is a snug fit on our Britax, but it fits perfectly, just requires some patience when zipping up. Most airports made us take it out to go through security but it was not a big deal.
The only downfall is that you may feel a bit silly walking around with this giant mound on your back, but we have passed several couples with the same thing in airports and it is totally worth it.
The carrier is comfortable for me to wear on my back, but was heavy for me to carry by hand (my husband was OK with it). I would usually put my daughter in an Ergo Baby carrier on my front and this car seat carrier on my back (see photo I attached to the product page) and we pile the rest of our bags into her stroller and go. I feel the padding helps protect the car seat from any less than gentle baggage handlers.
The one thing I have not yet tried is carrying this on the plane to install the car seat on a plane seat, but I will be attempting this in a few weeks so I will report back.
I am glad I went with this model as I choose a cheaper route with our stroller bag and have regretted that (cheap red one).

We only made one short trip so cant tell you if it will handle long international trips but as far as the bag goes it is made of really good quality. The shoulder straps very comfy as well.

Lo he usado en un solo viaje (ida/vuelta) y ha llegado en perfecto estado (la silla y el bolso)
Viene con una cinta para cuando no se esté usando ocupe poco espacio.
Measure your seat and all is a couple of inches extra so it’s not too tight.
It’s well made and has a jumbo size zipper to make it nice and strong.
Nicely padded so it keeps your seat from being damaged too.
