I have been considering buying a Pac Back Car Seat Carrier for an upcoming trip. A couple of the reviews on Baby Center Store suggest that it was not a good quality product and fell apart quickly, while most of the reviews raved about how amazing it was. I don't entirely trust online store reviews, so I wanted to ask you guys. If you tell me it's good quality then I'm sold. I did do a search, and it sounds like a couple of people on the boards have this item, but the reviews weren't extensive enough to make the decision final for me. Thanks for your help!!

I don't know about that one, but we have this one. We have taken it on two airplane trips with us, and checked the carseat both times. It got a little beat up (the bag, not the carseat) from being in the cargo area, but it's still in good shape. I can carry it on my back or wheel it around. If you are planning on taking the carseat on the plane with you then it might not be worth it, but I think it's a pretty good deal. It looks like it costs a little less than the one you attached in your email.

Good luck!

I guess I didn't mention in my original post that dd is 2 and a half, so she has her own seat on the plane. I will be using the carrier to get the car seat through security and to the plane, then on the layover, then at the arrival airport. Anything in checked baggage is easy for me, as DH brings me all the way to the check in counter and my parents pick me up at the baggage claim at our destination.
