Nice travel bag
My era stroller fits perfectly after removing the rear wheels (which are very easy to pop off, you just pull on the black knob retaining each wheel and yank the wheel out. There’s plenty of room for the wheels in the packed bag, as well. I took it on a round trip flight recently, gate checking both times, and no damage to speak of. The case seems well padded, I didn’t quite know what to expect but it does seem to have substantial enough padding throughout the bag to help reduce the likelihood of damage. On the other hand the padding is just on the edge of not being too bulky such that you can still squeeze it (rolled up) in the storage area of the stroller and stroll around without having the carry the empty bag with you. I had to carefully manipulate it through the front of the stroller to do this. This was critical to our successfully getting across town with 5 bags through the subway, a shuttle bus, and across the airport. The bag also fits through the TSA bag x-Ray with no problems. Then once at the gate it’s less than 5 minutes to pack up the stroller. The cloth material seems high quality. The zipper is not overly beefy but seems up to the task. Wheels seem stout, but they’re not spinners. Since the bag doesn’t balance/stand up straight, i.e. this isn’t a hard side case, and there’s no rigid handle, you probably wouldn’t want spinners on it, anyway. All told it’s not the easiest bag in the world to wheel around, especially given the height of the bag (which is tall as it has to fit the collapsed stroller), but it’s not bad given all the design constraints. If I was able to design my own dream bag for this stroller it’d probably be a lot like this one: as much padding as possible while still being collapsible enough to carry empty under the stroller, and being as easy to wheel around as possible while still retaining coll. They made all the right design compromises for my purposes.
