Quick Favs - Car Seat + Airport + Go-Go Kids Travelmate = Easy



Go-Go Kidz Travelmate
GoGo Kidz TravelmateAs a family who travels a lot, we love smart gear that makes traveling easier.  Lugging a carseat through the airport for the sake of safety on the airplane is one of those things that we have always done even though it is a royal pain.  If you've ever had the joy of carrying a convertible car seat through an airport you know what I'm talking about.  The Go-Go Kidz Travelmate has made it much, much easier.

The Go-Go Kidz Travelmate is basically a set of rollerblade style wheels and a retractable suitcase-like handle that attaches to the back of your convertible car seat.  It weighs less than 5 lbs and allows you to drag/push the car seat like a suitcase.  You can load in a small tot (fully strapped in of course) or just plop your carry-on onto it and wheel away.  

When you get to the plane/taxi/rental car you just unscrew the adaptor and install the car seat into the seat.  On the plane, the Go-Go Kidz Travelmate fits in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you.  For safety's sake, make sure you fully remove the Travelmate and adaptor before installing your car seat.

Its worth mentioning that it doesn't work with every car seat, but here is a list of compatible car seats courtesy of Magic Beans website:
