(Images in post from Nuts About Southwest. Now we just collapse it and send it on its way…įind out more from Nuts About Southwest here. During our first couple of times flying with a stroller, we placed it in a bag which was a major hassle. When you travel with a stroller and/ or car seat do you place them in a bag or just check them as-is? We used to place our car seat in a laundry bag but now don’t bother anymore. (My bag looks a bit different from the one in the photo above.) ![]() The biggest change according to the picture that I saw was the newer Southwest Airlines logo! I kind of like the old-school look featured on our bag with the stenciled airplane on it but this new bag does look pretty nice. We didn’t really use our bag so I don’t know if there were issues with the zipper or not. According to Nuts About Southwest, they also “ have a better zipper pull“. Yes, they’re still water-resistant which is nice. The bags were updated to be more durable and stronger. The bag still sells for just $15 and is available for purchase at the Southwest check-in counter. I just came across a post from the blog Nuts About Southwest about an update to the car seat/ stroller bag. The bags have also been quite popular, with over 60,000 sold since its debut in 2013. Nuts About Southwest say the bags “ can fit a standard-sized stroller, car seat, and booster seat“. Will it fit those massive two-piece strollers, possibly, but I haven’t tried. You then bring the car seat to the bottom of the jet way and leave it at the end of the ramp right before you get on the plane. They will print a baggage claim label and provide a color-coded gate check ticket. While I can only vouch for our car seat and stroller, my guess is that the Southwest bag is pretty much a universal item. To gate check a car seat, alert the gate agent of your flight. The bag is huge, almost feeling like a bottomless pit. ![]() The Original BagĪnother key element to the bag is its size. What I like about the Southwest bag is the airline branding and color on it as well as the durable material it’s made from. You could also just use a laundry bag for your car seat which could be bought for just a couple of dollars. ![]() While looking up car seat and stroller bags on Amazon, I saw that many bags did sell in a price range of $12-$25 give or take. Back in early 2014 I wrote about Southwest Airlines selling a reusable car seat/ stroller bag.Īt just $15, the stroller bag seemed like a bargain.
