Product Description
This must-have for traveling parents makes navigating airports a breeze. Attach your child or toddlers car seat to the gogo Kidz Travelmate instead of carrying both your child and car seat through bustling airports. Convenient and safe, the gogo Kidz now makes it easier for parents to travel with their children. As the FAA recommends car seats on airplanes for children under 40 lbs., the gogo Kidz eliminates the need to rent or borrow a car seat both on the airplane and at your travel destination. It folds to lay flat in a trunk, and only weighs 5 lbs and has a telescoping handle that extends to 47.5 or 50.5 for easy handling. Wide rubber-edged wheels provide a stable and smooth ride. Carseat not included.

 This worked great! August 19, 2008
We recently took a trip from Phoenix to Washington DC with a layover in Texas. We needed to take our Britax Roundabout car seat because we were not renting a car in DC and needed a car seat for the shuttle and taxicabs. This item allowed us to take the car seat with ease and no fuss. We practiced attaching the cart to our seat the night before the trip and I am glad we did. The directions are not very clear and it took us some time to decipher them. Once we figured it out, my husband was able to attach and detach our car seat without any help from me.
At the airport, we simply asked security for a hand-check so that we dd not have to put it through the X-ray machine and they had no problem with this. We did take the wheels off on the plane but the cart fit nicely under the seat in front of us. We had enough time once the plane landed and we waited for our row to exit to reattach the wheels before it was our turn to exit the plane. We had a lot of travelers stop us to ask us about the go go kidz since they were also looking for a solution to traveling with car seats.
In DC, we loved the ease of using our car seat as a stroller. It allowed us to wheel our son onto the metro, ride to our destination and even have his car seat in Taxicabs when we needed it. The wheels stayed on the seat in all of our taxi and shuttle rides. It was awesome.
I did not give it 5 stars as I think there is room for improvement (better directions, more stability) but over all I would highly recommend this product for travels with Toddlers!
LOVE this thing August 3, 2008
We flew from Switzerland to Oregon and this thing was amazing. Our carseat (Maxi Cosi) hooked right onto it and we strolled our 2-year-old around all 3 airports (including the layover). On the first flight, we left the thing on the carseat which works fine but left his feet in perfect kicking position for the seat in front of him. For the long flight, we took the thing off (very easy to do right in the seat) and he was a little farther back. He thought it was fun to be in there and we used it instead of a stroller. It was too large to roll down the aisle so my husband carried it while I carried our son. I definitely recommend it. Best of luck!

this little jewel is the best thing since sliced bread!!!
We took my 3 yr old grandson threw St. Louis Airport/Atlanta/Cinn and Norfolk and it was soooo stress free because we didn't have to worry about him getting caught up in the crowd and getting lost, knocked down ect. It was well worth the price.
We almost didn't get it because of the price but after using it....I'm sooo glad we did.

Must Have for Mom Traveling Alone! August 14, 2007

We just got back from a trip from Orlando to Chicago using the travelmate and it was quite the success!! As another reviewer noted, I had many people stop me to ask where I got it, especially the jealous looking man who was lugging his toddlers seat on his back!! This carrier is a DREAM, I was traveling alone w/ my 19 month old son and he had his own seat on the plane (if your little one is riding on your lap, you can check this at the gate just as you would a stroller so you cal have it available at your destination gate) and I planned to rent a car at our destination, so I really needed to take his carseat, but couldn't imagine how I would manage a car seat, a stroller, our carry on and him with only my 2 hands. This was the perfect solution. I was able to leave the stroller home, and w/ him strapped into the seat I could just push him along and all I had to carry was my bag. Once we got the Chicago, I was able to pop the wheels off and put the seat w/ the carrier attached right into our rental car using the latch system. You can probably even leave the wheels on, but I felt this tilted the seat a bit forward and we had quite a ways to drive and I knew my son would be dozing, I didn't want him lolling forward, but that is a personal prefeence. The only issues I had w/ the carrier aren't the carriers fault, they are the airlines. In Orlando it fit right through the X-ray machine no problem, but in Chicago it was WAY too big. Unlike some other reviwers I did not have to take it apart though, the security guy just took it aside and swiped it with a wand (simimlar to what they would do w/ a wheelchair), if you have someone try to make you take your seat off the carrier, ask them to do this instead, it was no biggie and actually was a help as I had to put shoes back on me and my son so we needed a minute anyway. The other issue I had was on our plane, I could not roll my son down the aisle in the seat, it is too wide, even after taking the wheels off (I thought that would give me enough clearance & I could just drag him) it was too wide (I have the Alpha Omega Eddie Bauer seat, which is a monster, I admit) so I had to take him out of the seat and hustle him down to row 17 and carry the seat, which was a bit difficult as I am 5'2", so I was pretty much carrying it over my head to clear the seats, but there was no way I could carry it that distance w/ my 25 lb son in it. It also would only fit in the seat w/ the wheels off, but that is no biggie, they pop right on and off. Coming home, I upgraded us to business class, and that was much easier, we were in the first row so I could roll the carseat that far and the seats were MUCH wider, I was able to put the seat in w/o taking the wheels off, if you can do this I would, it made it a snap to get in and out, I never had to take him out of the seat. We are going to NYC next month for a wedding and will take his seat and this carrier again, it was well worth the price for the ease of traveling!

My wife just used this for the first time when flying with our daughter from the US to the UK. She couldn't be happier. It did need to be detached from the car seat in order to go through the x-ray machine, but that was simple as it is easy to take apart and re-attach. It is convenient to not have to take the child out of the seat when changing planes. It also seemed very comfortable for our daughter.
