Best Car Seat Travel Bag for Flying

I have personally seen what can happen to bags and how travel strollers, pushchairs etc can be thrown around carelessly by airport baggage handlers. My father used to see it all the time as an aircraft engineer too.

Whilst your car seat is likely covered by your travel insurance, it can take time organising a replacement which could restrict your movements and plans. Using a car seat bag can mean you can store some extra items to help pad it out, like diapers/nappies, a cuddly toy etc. (This way, you get a little bit of extra baggage, but shhhh, keep that quiet!)

Hello, I’m Carrie!

I have over 12 years flying experience as a long-haul flight attendant and have visited over 60 countries.

Since becoming Mum to two little girls (now aged four and seven), we’ve also travelled extensively as a family – my husband is Australian so that includes some ultra long-haul flights and holidays. We have picked up plenty of tips for travelling through the baby, toddler and pre-schooler stages!

Now it’s excitement, not fear when we take even a 24-hour flight with our young children!
