Cheeky Monkey Pac Back a lifesaver
Reviewer: Anonymous , New Iberia, LA
Date: July 24, 2009
I used this product while traveling alone with my 18 month old. It was a lifesaver. I made it from the car into the airport with my son, a large bag to be checked, his car seat, stroller and a diaper bag. With out the Pac Back this wouldn't have been possible. I could actually make it through the aisle on even small airplanes with the carseat on my back. I used this with our Eddie Bauer Deluxe High Back Booster Car Seat and the straps fit perfectly around the seat.

Love it
Reviewer: CC , Columbus, MS

It is a great item. It saved me while traveling through a couple airports with myself, my 18 month old, a giant suitcase, a stroller, and a carry-on bag. The only problem I had was that one of the straps at the top began to fray. I don't think it will come apart but it looks worn after using it only once.

SOOO worth the money
Reviewer: Kate , CT
Date: May 26, 2008
When I was in the airport alone w/ 21 mo. old daughter pushing her in the stroller with one hand and pulling our suitcase w/ the other, this was priceless. I walked around w/ that thing on my back and it was AWESOME! A few people asked about it too. I did have to watch out about turning around, so I wouldn't take anyone out though :) I had used our plethora of miles from our credit card and had gotten us each our own seat. I strapped it onto her seat in the plane and she pretty much slept from take off until we were about to land (CT to FL). I think having her in her own seat on the plane made all the difference. Plus we didn't have to rent a carseat for her on the other end.

Worked perfect for Britax Roundabout and kept our hands free in the airport.

straps too short
Reviewer: Anonymous , Columbus Ohio
Date: November 22, 2007
The top/bottom strap was too short for all our car seats. We have 3 different car seat/ booster seats and could not get the strap around the top/bottom to close. It was short by inches. I did try everything, going between the seat and base etc, but could not use it.
I was very disappointed.
Car seats Eddie Bauer Summit, Britex Decathlon, Britex Parkway none of them fit.

Airport Lifesaver
Reviewer: Jodi , Milwaukee, WI

This made trekking through the airport with two little ones possible. It is easy to use and store away, and comfortable. It is definitely worth the investment.

Must have for traveling families
Reviewer: Kari , Sudbury, MA
Date: July 16, 2007
This is an absolutely wonderful product. After using a carseat bag that didn't work I wasn't going to spend more money on a bad product so I borrowed a friend's Pac Back and LOVED IT. I had to get our own before flying again. It is really the best way to manage a carseat for air travel. The only downfall is being aware of the swing radius. My husband and our three-year-old managed to run into each other a couple of times.

Great for travel
Reviewer: stephanie , Salisbury, MD
Date: July 10, 2007
I used this while traveling alone with my 2 year old daughter. I was able to move through the airport, and security very easily with two free hands. I would highly recommend this! Also make sure you try attaching it to your car seat prior to traveling. It is very simple to use, but takes some adjustments the first time you use it.

A must if traveling with a car seat!
Reviewer: Anonymous , Menlo Park, CA
Date: June 21, 2007
I was planning a plane trip with my two toddlers (ages 16 months and 28 months); my husband wasn't going to be with us on this trip so I was going solo. I was quite concerned about getting through the airport with two youngsters, two car seats and a large carry-on bag with snacks, activities, etc. This pac made carrying a car seat so easy! It was comfortable, easy to snap the car seat in and out of and allowed me to have my hands completely free. Many envious travelers with young children asked me where I bought it. The airport was a breeze: kids were in a double stroller, carry-on bag was underneath, one car seat was balanced on the stroller canopy and the other car seat was on my back in the Pac. I couldn't have done it without the Pac. I will never travel again without it!

Great for travel!
Reviewer: Sarah , Concord, NH
Date: June 13, 2007
We bought this for our first family vacation with our 8 month old. We had bought an airline ticket for her and had a convertible Evenflo car seat. We also planned to gate check the stroller. With all our luggage and a baby to manage, we were so glad to have the Pac Back so my husband could easily carry the car seat. It left his hands free for taking turns pushing the stroller and toting our suitcases. At 6'2", he was able to comfortably carry the seat on his back, since the seat was a little heavy for my much smaller frame. He just had to be careful when he turned around -- he almost knocked me over with the seat a couple of times! We will definitely use this again. Ordering from Elitecarseats.com was wonderful and shipping was very fast!

Best for traveling alone
Reviewer: Lara , Newbury, MA.
Date: March 15, 2007
I recently traveled alone by plane with my 14 month old daughter and managed a stroller, 2 suitcases, a diaper bag and a full size carseat. If it wasn't for the Cheeky Monkey Pac I couldn't have done it alone. I would highly recommend this item for any parent.

surprisingly easy to use
Reviewer: Anonymous , Portland, OR
Date: March 02, 2007
We made a holiday trip with our 20-month son and had a lot of baggage to handle along with getting our child and his car seat on the plane. This Pac Back was surprisingly easy to attach to the seat and made it quite easy to carry the heavy seat, leaving our hands free for lots of other things.

Very handy on a plane trip

We have a Britax Marathon car seatBritax Marathon car seat
(pretty big) and thanks to the Pac Back I was able to carry the car seat on my back comfortably through the airport while pushing a stroller. I did find it a little difficult to figure out how to get all the straps set up, but once I did it was easy.

Awesome product
Reviewer: Christine , TN
Date: June 17, 2006
There's no way I could travel alone with my daughter and gigantic convertible seat without the Pac Back. Carrying the seat on my back keeps my hands free for the stroller. Attaching the car seat to the Pac Back is a breeze! This is a must for air travel. I received numerous comments from other travelers about what a great idea this is. Truly a helpful, simple product that I highly recommend.
