 E3 double stoller travel bag December 16, 2007

I purchased this bag to take my E3 Phil & Ted's stroller with doubles seat with us to Hawaii, and it worked great! The bag itself is durable and well made. It takes a little time to get the stroller into the bag, and I highly recommend practicing putting it in prior to going to the airport, especially since it came with no instructions.
Tips I learned: Be sure the rear wheels are not locked. Remove the parent handle bar, child handle bar, front tire, and any other accessories before putting the stroller in the bag. Lay the collapsed stroller face down in the bag so the front wheel axle is on top. I took a rag to cover the axle of the front wheel so not to get grease on anything. Then you simply pile on the doubles seat, front wheel and handle bars. I have the hang bag which also fit in the travel bag. It's snug, but it all fits.
I did not use the shoulder strap and just left it detached in the travel bag. I had no problems checking the bag at the gate and left the rear wheels on the entire time. Also, it fit through security scanners.
All in all, the bag is a bit expensive, but well worth the peace of mind knowing that my stroller was less likely to be damaged on all 5 airplanes it went on. The only problem we had with it was w

Has anyone else had trouble fitting the stroller into this case? It seems too small -- my very strong husband and I pulling together could barely yank and pull the darned thing into the travel case. It doesn't help that the case comes with no instructions, and the two sentences of instructions in the stroller manual are virtually no help. I suppose if you need to check the stroller onto an airplane (like we do) this is your only option for this stroller, but they ought to be able to manufacture it with a little bit of wiggle room. Even after all our wrangling, we still couldn't get the zipper closed all the way. I sincerely hope this doesn't mean major trouble once it's checked (visions of ripped zippers and missing/mangled $300 strollers running through my head) -- we'll find out soon.
Just for the record, this is not my first problem with Phil & Ted's products being manufactured too small -- when I first got my Sport stroller the shoulder straps that are supposed to adjust weren't able to because of a manufacturing defect. Regal Lager (the US distributor) quickly sent me a replacement main frame, but again with no instructions. It took me half a day and three phone calls to them to get it done. Maybe there are similar manufacturing errors on the travel bag that makes it too tight?
Would love to know if anyone else has had similar problems...

I just wanted to add my experience with the bag. I had trouble figuring out how to get the Phil and Ted Sport in this travel bag, and it is indeed a snug fit, but it definitely works!
In order to put the stroller in the bag, you need to take off the front wheel, and fold the stroller as flat as possible....which includes tucking the handle under. I noticed that you also have to make sure you put the stroller in the right way, because the stroller fits better if it's facing the right way in the bag. This is just something you have to experiment with. The bag makes the Phil and Ted more compact for travel and storage and while it's not the easiest thing for daily use, it serves it's purpose for gate checks and such. But again, you really need to practice putting the stroller in the bag.
Take it from me, I used it while traveling alone with an 11 month old. And I had to manage my son, the stroller, car seat and 2 carry on bags. It does work.

got this for the sport buggy. while everything fit it was a tight squeeze. i was able to cram a lot in there (sport buggy, doubles kit, rain cover and even our hanging high chair). the biggest difficulty was the stroller itself. the length of the bag is the issue. depth is great. i removed the child's handlebar, the front wheel and the doubles kit and could not fit the stroller at first. the issue was the parent handlebar. it's literally just an extra few inches in length when the stroller is folded but it's enough that you can't zip it closed. i didn't remove the parent handlebar but i did rotate it completely so it was mostly folded back onto the stroller. i would definitely not recommend trying this at the airport. pack the stroller before you go and just zip the rear wheels into the bag at the last minute (get something like the ergo baby for traveling through the airport). I put the pins that go through the rear wheels into a separate grocery bag and tied them to the stroller as I was worried they would fall out during the trip. The bag has two holes where the rear wheels can stick out. had no problems checking the bag.
i would give it a higher rating but so much of the stroller has to be disassembled or rotated in funny directions that it's not a zip and go procedure.

If you are determined to bring your Phil & Teds single stroller with you, then this bag is a huge help. The bag itself is very well-made and good quality. The setup is still a bit cumbersome, but it can be done quickly if your child can sit still and wait for you for a minute. The handlebars and front wheel have to pop off (it's very easy), then you zip it all in and roll the bag up to gate check. If you need to bag check or the bag doesn't fit through the airport scanners that way, then you can pop off the back wheels one at a time. I believe this bag is only meant to fit a single. I don't have the doubles kit yet to try it.
