I bought a Petite Star Zia Mini Jogger Black for going on holiday, as we were flying, I wanted the bag for when the pushchair was to be packed into the hold. I thought it might give a little more protection and keep things together. And, it does.
It is made from a fairly lightweight nylon material - nothing too substantial, I personally would have liked a heavier grade, something a little thicker. It has two full-length zips that enable it to opened up well and a velcro section across the top (between the end of the zips) to seal the bag tight. On one end there is a good rubber carry handle, and on the back there is a light weight shoulder strap that can be clipped on and off (as I did for when it went in the hold).
It is relatively easy to put the pushchair into it, and when zipped up gives a nice snug fit - it then looks pretty good too. We got lots of interest from other parents at the gate when we were flying. To pack the pushchair, you do have to remove the front wheel though. Not a big problem as the Zia front wheel easily unclips. But, it is then loose in the bag right at the part where the velcro is. I was concerned a little that if the bag came undone we could possibly lose the wheel as it went through baggage handling. We've flown twice though and still have the wheel, the bag stays completely shut.
There was one little problem though, the bag now has a little hole in the top. The front wheel mounting of the pushchair is sharp from wear and this has rubbed through the bag. A heavier grade nylon would have stopped it.
All in all, I'm happy with my purchase. It looks good with the pushchair in and is a snug fit - makes it a neat package. Its very light, but I would have prefered something a little more substantial.
