We took our 26 mo old on a 4 hour airplane ride and wanted a seat with us for comfort and also eliminate packing a stroller since we didn't need one where we were going. It's made of very strong material and stitching. this one was easy to store in the front pocket of the luggage and quick to set up. My cousin, who came with us, had a 'tote-a-tot' system and a buckle broke and they took much longer to get up and running. remember that you have to get through security, so simplicity is key. Our car seat has a steel frame and is HEAVY! This strap had NO problem doing the heaving lifting of the seat plus our son.
Other thoughts: Our car seat was much to large for the airplane seat. once installed, it my son's legs had no room to stretch. we ended up gate checking it. So really the seat served as a stroller and car seat to the resort. You need to use luggage that has some sturdy wheels. With the added 60 lbs, our wheels began to bow out. This isn't the products fault though. also, the design is so simple, you could probably just use a light chain. goo gle ... 'attach car seat to luggage'.
