1win

Have you ever had difficulty lugging a car seat through an airport? If so I may have just the product for you from One Step Ahead.  First a little about One Step Ahead:

The first thing we’d like you to know: we’re not like other children’s companies. For one thing, our parent company, Chelsea & Scott literally is a “parent company!” We were founded by two real life parents, Karen and Ian Scott, who wanted the best for their own children.

Frustrated by products that looked terrific in stores and catalogs, but didn’t live up to their promises, the Scotts traded in Fortune 500 careers to pursue their vision of a different kind of baby company.

A company that subjects its products to tough, hands on testing, by both professional merchandisers and an independent Parents’ Panel. One that does the comparison shopping upfront, and then offers only the top performers. One that tracks down innovative, hard-to-find helpers—and when they can’t be found, has its Design Team create them from scratch.

One that prides itself on outstanding service, so parents can shop with absolute confidence.

For three decades, One Step Ahead has helped new parents navigate the complex baby market. Then in 1989, Leaps and Bounds, a sister catalog geared to children, joined the Chelsea & Scott family. Today, we remain committed to bringing you what parents want: high quality products…ingenious parenting solutions…outstanding service…and the toughest guarantees in the industry

I had the opportunity to review the Wheel Easy Car Seat Travel Bag:

Why lug baby’s heavy gear awkwardly through the airport, when you can comfortably pull it along? We added big, tough wheels to our car seat/booster travel bag for hassle-free toting — plus a new, ergonomic design so it’s easier than ever! Front loading for easy packing; big enough to hold jumbo size equipment. There’s even room for baby’s blanket or coat! Rugged 600 denier poly, with built-in ID sleeve. Imported. Exclusively Ours!

  • No need to carry your car seat or booster over your shoulder like with other travel bags; ours features rugged, easy-to-pull wheels
  • New ergonomic design allows you to pull our Car Seat Travel Bag with even less effort and greater comfort
  • Easier to load/unload than others; simply unzip the roomy front panel and place your car seat inside — no wrestling, no tugging
  • Extra-tough 600 denier poly fabric features a coated lining for extra-strength and moisture-resistance. Holds up to rough handling!
  • Sewn-in sleeve holds an I.D. or business card for easy identification
  • Folds easily for storage; later, use it to store patio chair cushions, etc. in the garage
  • Spot clean, air dry
  • Dimensions: 19″W x 29″H x 20″D, excluding wheels (holds even larger booster seats!)
  • My take:  Unfortunately I have not have the chance to board an airplane to give this product the true test but I know several of you will be flying for the holiday season so I wanted to get this review to you as quickly as I could.  We have Britax car seats, and I was able to easily fit one of the carseats in the travel bag.  There was lots of room still available so I wanted to see what else I could fit in the remaining space.  I was able to fit 4 winter coats (2 children/2 adults) and 2 pillows!  I liked the wheels for easier maneuvering and the sewn-in sleeve for identification.  The only thing I would change is that I wish the handle was longer since I am on the tall side.  I think the Wheel Easy Car Seat Travel Bag is priced very reasonably at $34.95.
