What kind of bag can I use to travel with a baby car seat?

Are these bags large enough to hold the car seat on an air travel?
Best Answer
I would suggest wrapping it in plastic. This will make it good to be checked lugagge. Plastic wrapping is good for weird shaped luggage and in your case it is a perfect fit for that. Also, it is cheap and available in almost every airport. Check this question about plastic-wrapping luggage for more details.

Do you need a bag for car seat?
Do you need a bag to check a car seat? No, you don't need a bag to check a car seat (and many car seats are transported from A to B quite safely), however, you may want one.

If you're bringing a wheeled carry-on suitcase, a car seat luggage strap can be a great choice! The straps use the car seat's low anchors and top tether strap to attach the car seat to the front of the suitcase. You wheel it along like normal until you're ready to use the car seat on board!10 TRAVEL Tips \u0026 Tricks when FLYING WITH A TODDLER *Car seat, Stroller, Backpack*
