Reviews for Bugaboo Transport Bag

The 07 Bugaboo Transport bag worked very well. It held our Bugaboo quite snugly and everything arrived in one piece. My only complaint is that it has already torn on the inside of the bag. For something that costs more than some strollers do, I would have liked to have seen it a bit more durable.

I actually have the older version of the bag (would have been nice to get this one, but it was not out). I love it! It actually really protects the stroller from damage in the back of my Suburban, and I keep the stroller in it to protect it. Why pay so much for a stroller and not take every measure to protect it? The first time putting it in is very daunting, but you get used to it.

If you can't imagine traveling without your bug then this bag is a must. I agree that you should practice packing your bug at home a couple of times before you goto the airport. If you wait then you will be very frustrated and feel like a fool in front of the gate person. Once you get the hang of it at home, packing the stroller at the airport is easy. Also I must add that the customer service and shipping from this web site is exceptional. I placed my order over the phone and the service rep was very nice and helpful. We got our delivery one day after we placed the order. I will certainly order my next bugaboo accessory from your site. Thanks!

i bought the earlier version of the bugaboo carrier and this one sounds much better since they've added wheels: a definate neccesity. The earlier version's handles cut into my hands and was really unwieldy. FYI: we travelled overseas and each time our carrier got "lost" through Heathrow possibly due to its irregular size. Also had to check it on as oversize or "irregular" luggage.

We always assumed that when we bought our bug, we would get one of these. However, a few of the reviews were somewhat offputting, until I thought about the possibility of the bug being trashed by baggage handlers, and the investment seamed worth it. In retrospect, it was worth every penny! I didn't encounter any of the problems I'd seen mentioned by the tight fit, but would echo the advice that people should play with it before using it at an airport. I did find that if you are transporting other bits as well (I renectly took the bug transatlantic with a foot-muff) then it can be a tight fit, but once I extended the handlebars (on the chameleon) the fit was much better. The wheels are sweet - but necessary as I carried this a couple of times on the shoulder (rough ground and/or stairs) and while this is managable, I woudln't want to do this for long. Though I gave 5 stars, there is always room for improvement; it would have been nice to be able to stand it on its end. You can do this if you lean it against something (though admittedly there may be a safety issue there), but generally you need to lie it down. But I can't stress enough how easy to pack and to use this was, and the padding was reassuringly thick.

When we were trying to make the decision as to whether or not to purchase this, we read the reviews from a couple of websites. Many of the reviews were discouraging but we took a chance and purchased it anyway. In the end, it was a great decision. Many of the reviews thought it was initially difficult to pack the stroller because the material was way too snug due to the fact that the material was not "broken in". We didn't have that problem at all. We thought it was EXTREMELY easy to pack. We loved the fact that it can fold compactly when not in use. The only thing we found a little difficult to use was the canvas pull handle. When wheeling the packed stroller around, it would've been better if it had the rigid metal pull handle you would find with any wheeled suitcase but its understandable why you can't have it or else it won't be foldable and compact when not in use. Regardless, it was well worth the investment. We highly recommend it. It is a very small price to pay for such a valuable stroller.

I purchased this bag so I could take my Bugaboo International, but not have to check it at the gate (they beat on those strollers!), and the bag held up wonderfully. My stroller was like new when I arrived in Frankfurt! Also the bag is easy to wheel around and carry, light, and well padded. I had no problems fitting my Cameleon in the bag. After reading that it might be snug, I packed it a day or so in advance, expecting a slight struggle, but really, I had no problem at all. The only thing I wish for would be that the bag would be a little sturdier so I wouldnt have to wonder if my stroller is on the bottom of something heavy, but I did not expect that from this particular bag.

Thank you for your review! This bag is indeed great for travel and the wheels on the new bag for 2007 is ideal!

I was so nervous about traveling alone with our three month old daughter but the Bugaboo Transport Bag made the journey through the airport easy and it kept our beloved Bugaboo safe.

Because my husband wasn't there to carry the heavy carseat through the airport, I snapped the carseat onto the Bugaboo frame and pulled the rest of the Bugaboo in the Transport Bag behind me. At the gate, I removed the carseat and put the Bugaboo frame and wheels into the Transport Bag and gate-checked it. It was so simple and the Transport Bag was remarkably easy to maneuver.

I highly recommend the Transport Bag but I also recommend practicing disassembling your Bugaboo and inserting it into and removing it from the Transport Bag several times before your trip. I practiced the night before I left and I felt like an expert when I got to the gate!

The Bugaboo Transport Bag is so sturdy and well-made. It will definitely last for the life of the Bugaboo...and maybe beyond! Highly recommended!

I totally agree - great accessory, but you have to put the stroller in it, and leave it overnight once or twice BEFORE your trip. It can be a struggle to get the stroller in the first time. The idea of this bag, is to fit over the stroller like a skin, to prevent any of the parts from banging against each other, preventing breakage.
