Stokke XPLORY Travel Bag

TO have a travel bag is a very good idea given that the stroller needs to be split into two pieces to be folded. However, the travel bag is not resistant/tough enough to support several airplane travels. Airline have no liability or responsibility if anything happens to your stroller, therefore, they don't really handle it with care, and the travel bad is not strong enough. After half a dozen flights, my bag looks very poor, and a small part of my stroller has been broken. I guess the travel bag should be more cushioned to be able to receive poor handling from airline companies.

On the first use of this 'Travel Bag' the seam failed, the bag fell apart, and latch for adjusting the chair angle broke. Stokke replaced the bag, but didn't fix the latch. On the second use (with new bag), Xplory latch for folding the wheels broke. Stokke tried to blame the airline, explaining that such damage happens 'often', and usually consumers can get the airline to pay the $250 repair fee. Furthermore, Stokke explained that really the bag is not intended for use as luggage, it is more of a 'dust cover'(for $110!?!?)

The bag has no padding to protect latches and no straps to secure the chair, so latch failure is likely with normal handling. I'm no friend of the airlines, but still dislike Stokke profiteering from egregious poor design.

Considering the pricepoint, better spend your money with someone that will actually stand behind the product!

It looks spacious but it takes a few practices to get the stroller right in. So practice at home before you are on the road and have to do the packing of the stroller :)
