Is there any padding to help protect in plane cargo? or just a bag? For those who didn't like this - what bag did you find for City select?

Hello, there is no padding to help protect it in the plane cargo, its just a bag, the good thing it has compartments to put the parts exactly and fits nicely. As it is, the baby jogger are heavy duty, I dont think it should break. We traveled from US to Mex, borded two different planes and the bag did protect the cart. But like you, I was expecting a more protected bag for the cart. Hope this helps.

It is just a bag, no padding. We got a hole at the bottom of our's on our first use. It's hard to find an alternative given the size of the double stroller.

No extra padding, but the canvas is pretty heavy. We used a Red Gate Check bag (JL Childers I believe) to put around the Baby Jogger bag. The bag worked well for us, but we only used for gate check. We did not check the bag through to our destination.

There is not much padding and the material is rather cheap. We took it on one trip and it encountered several rips in the nylon material. The stroller was not damaged, but this thing is not rugged enough for airplane travel. We had the bag for the City Mini and it was much more durable. I do not know why the quality went down hill.

I have the double city select. When we traveled the first time. We gate checked it in this bag. During our layover when we retrieved the bag it already had several small holes in it. There is no padding and apparently tears easily. I feel that if we only had one seat instead if two that was placed in the stroller bag, it might have held up better. I Could Not find any other bag that would fit the dimensions of this stroller.

I previously used the JL Childress bag with two seats and a bassinet attachment and two infant seat attachments - it did a great job of holding everything. Cannot speak to durability in air travel.

We have used it once and it's pretty much just a canvas bag, however it worked very well to protect the stroller. Had a few rub marks on it by the end of the trip, but otherwise we can still use it for many flights to come. It's heavy to carry but does the job. Use it for gate checking, I don't think it would stand up very well to the beating it would take as regular checked luggage.

yes you put regular bag and clubs along with shoes etc.. big and holds lots. it is soft side so i also bought the stiff arm to go inside to protect clubs. works great and have flown coast to coast with and clubs sill in good and works great.

There is a very skinny padding mostly it is a tuff bag that will not let the bagage claims machine tear up the stroller. If you run the stroller in the machine without the bag it has the chance of getting snagged on something of any grease or dirt that is on these machines would end up on your stroller. It does have seprating pockets on the inside to help keep the dirty wheels away from the stroller fabric. Unless you plan on jumping out of the plane with the stroller bag you would not need extra padding. I have used this bag on three trips and it is a life saver.

This is a great bag and fits my oversize golf bag and long clubs nice and snug. As for your questions, it could be possible so I also purchased the Club Glove Stiff Arm Travel Club Protector. it is another $30 but works great. I have flown several times now even coast to coast and bag and clubs arrived safe and sound. Good luck!

did you ever find a travel bag to fit your b-ready? I'm looking for one but not having any look.

I know this is late to the discussion, but it will help someone in the future. We traveled with that car seat and had no problems. It was difficult to get through security because they had to hand search it, and carrying a car seat onto the plane was bothersome, but the added safety is well worth it. Had no problems getting the car seat to fit once on the plane. Strapped my son in and he slept the either flight.

I don't know what bag you're talking about but this would be very difficult to bring on a flight. It's big and doesn't come apart to break down into small pieces. I would ship it. Much easier and cheaper.

Under seat in a small plane? Probably not. I fly with my bag usually in the overhead bin on a large plane. Sometimes it will fit under the seat in front of me, but it extends a bit. If the flight attendants want it really under the seat, or if you're tall and need leg room, this doesn't work well. Sony had an excellent video where they showed the features, and a guy was packing it. I've had two of these type bags and LOVE this one. Compact, but well-designed. Water bottle pocket on the side is one of the unique features - and it may sound funny, but it's great. Dimensions: 12 x 9 (11 if you count the straps) x 19. I've also used a CaseLogic bag that I liked very much. Tried the Sony because of that water bottle pocket and the get-the-camera-out-of-the-side feature. The Sony is smaller, as well. Good luck in deciding. SJ

Wow, great question.. It might be too wide but then again, I carry mine around like a briefcase. Maybe order it and try it at the airport in that size thingie. If it doesn't fit, send it back. I like mine... Very sturdy.

Yes, not padded at all, but a zip pocket on the inner side. Unable to retrieve weapon while wearing it but large enough for a subcompact. Maybe fullsize

Depends upon plane? I've flown to Japan with it on KLM and found it did not fit under their very roomy seat. Nor does it fit under seat for Delta domestic flight. I will tell you it is a great gear bag, it locks and protects. However, it is TOO heavy to wear on your back with 1 camera, 2-3 lenses, strobe. I've realized I must pack a lighter " around town" bag as well if I'm going to be photographing an area. That or find a chiropractor! So, use it for travel / safety of gear.

Have not used in rain. Just looked and most of the outside shell is lined with a plastic/vinyl layer which should offer some protection. Most of my items are in zip lock bags, tins or pill type bottles. The other items are water resistant. Able to carry my IPad 3 and Kindle in the main compartment with chargers and several other items. Like this bag and do not regret the purchase. Got The green color for what I hope is a "lower profile" bag to carry"

On one domestic flight I was fine; on another they insisted I "valet check" it. I did, but I wasn't thrilled. I'm sure it was stored somewhere that was way too cold. It is really too long for the standard carry-on dimensions. It's a shame because it is so narrow it takes up very little room in the overhead.

Do you have front and rear bars? Basically you should have something to keep this cargo bag in place; otherwise it's going to slide around on your roof and that could have bad consequences. I read in a review where someone ran the straps through the door openings and across the inside roof liner, but I'd be worried about that setup since it doesn't prevent sliding around and shifting. There are bags made to secure to roofs without racks. I'd look for one of those if you don't have anything on your roof.

It's not a bag. Think of it more as a fitted sheet with a thin, somewhat vinyl top. It's not padded. The sides are a sheet material.

Danny we easily hauled my son's golf bag with clubs from FL to IA plus quite a lot of other stuff. I do not know how large the 2 small golf bags are so can't address that part. Only issue I have is the top rear crossbar insists on poking through the outside. We put all items except golf equip in large Ziploc travel bags. It is easy to install, remove and store. Jim R
