 The secret to getting it in the bag! June 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Flying with my two kids, 1 and 3 years old, so I wanted to bring my E3 with me. I fought for awhile to get it in the bag, read one of the reviews on this site and it fit no problem. Here's what I did:
Remove the front wheel- very easy to do- just pull the knob out and yank the wheel off
Remove the adult handlebar- again, just push the buttons in and pull it off.
Place in bag with front wheel (or where it would have been) on top.
Velcro the rear axles in place, zip the bag, then velcro the semi-circle by the front wheel area.
I even fit my cup holder, second seat, and all the pieces I removed in the bag. Love that i can wheel it through the airport.
I love my Phil and Teds stroller- I haven't had any problems with it. The bag is great- compact yet protects the stroller.
 really snug but fits everything March 17, 2008

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.
The bag is snug, but fits.... March 12, 2008

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.
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

We purchased this for a recent trip to NYC from Tampa...because we didn't want the stroller to get scuffed up etc...we'll my husband and I tried in VAIN and could not for the life of us get this to fit...it was very much like trying to squeeze 10lbs of potatoes into a 5lb bag...no room whatsoever to get this stroller into the bag...it wasn't happening...so we left sans stroller and returned it for full credit this fell short of Phil and Ted's usually good products.
