Valco Baby Universal Stroller Roller Travel Bag, Orange/Black

We needed a bag to protect the Baby Jogger City Select, as we all know that the strollers do get damaged during air travel, one time or another. As everyone else would do, I first checked Baby Jogger web site for a bag that was specifically designed for City Select. At first I was happy to see it but after reading some reviews, I was convinced that it was good for storing the stroller but not designed for air traveling.Now, I am writing the review after receiving the Valco Bag but before any flights. So it is not based on tests in real air traveler world, but just trials at home.First, I have tried every possible setup with seat mounted up, down or unmounted and there, in my opinion, is no way to efficiently use the bag as a roller as depicted in the product info when using it with City Select. I think this is by the nature of the stroller not Valco's fault.As any City select owner would realize, this stroller is not designed to be rolled around on the rear wheels when folded. The handle bar if facing the ground, even in the shortest setup, is too long to let the wheels do their job. So the only way you may have luck is keeping the handle side up, and the front wheel side facing the ground. But this time, as the front wheel slots are too bumpy to let the second seat adapter in, there is very little space left between them and ground and the padding of the bag fills that space.So, If you forget using the bag as a roller you would like the bag. The City Select do fit in the bag very well with seat mounted in the upper or lower position. Not a big problem but the front wheels have to be removed. The bag has a very good build quality with padded sides, and padded, plastic covered bottom. I believe it would protect the stroller from any kind of damage that may be caused from being dragged, dropped etc. It takes just a few minutes to get the stroller in the bag if the straps are adjusted prior to the flight. You can easily take the bag to the gate in strollers basket, and pack the stroller up right at the gate without much effort.Although I do not own a second seat there seems to be enough room for a second seat and the adapters in the bag assuming the adapters are removed and put between two seats resting on top of each other.Although I was disappointed to realize that I will not be able to use the bag as a roller, I am still happy with the purchase.I would have given it 5 stars if it was mentioned the that the City Select could not be used as a roller with this bag, but I am not sure if I would have bought it then :)Hope this helps

I was so excited about this product. I own a 2009 and 2011 Single Bob Revolution SE. We were making a short 45 minute flight and were gate checking the stroller and carseat. The directions show the front fork of the stroller and rear tires at another. The bob doesn't fold like that. I called and talked with Valco Customer service before our trip and was assured that it would work for the BOB. Then we get to the airport and you can't actually roll it because the fork sits to low and drags on the ground. We have damaged forks on our brand new stroller. We contacted valco to let them know the problems and they said oh well we didn't actually see if the bob fitted ourselves some of the stores who had it said it did. They have horrible customer service. They blamed it on every one else and took no responsibility for the fact it didn't fit. If you don't have a Valco stroller DO NOT BUY this item. I heard it does work well for the valco strollers.If I could give this a negative star I would. We were able to return this to amazon.

I have the Baby Jogger City Mini Stroller, and when packed up, it does not roll like indicated in the photo due to the stroller's handlebars being longer than the back wheels in the fold position. In other words the wheels don't touch the ground, and seems to defeat the purpose of the "roller travel bag." However the bag is nice and sturdy and seems to protect the stroller well. I will be flying internationally and want something to hold up. I may keep it and carry the bag over my shoulder with the pull strap provided.

We bought the Universal Stroller Roller bag from Valco becuase we had been told by Valco that it would fit our new Snap 4 stroller and all of their other strollers. It does not. The wheels pretty much rub against the bag no matter which way you do it so you are essentially just dragging it behind you, not good for the wheels or the bag! I think its really meant for bigger strollers. And, if the stroller roller is meant for gate checking, then its just too much to do at the gate - it has to be totally laid out on the ground and you essentially wrap the stroller in there. Not an easy gate check solution. Because of these issues, we didn't use the stroller roller at all and just brought a big trash bag for gate checking and the stroller roller will be going back.I ordered a JJ Childress gate check bag so we will see how that one does. The bag might work for bigger strollers and for use as a checked bag but not for our purposes unfortunately.

Very difficult to use with my janè trider extreme.
