Go Go Kidz TravelMate - Black/ Orange

Go Go Kidz TravelMate - Black/ Orange

Pretty inconvenient

I was extremely disappointed with this product. I had very high hopes that it would be easy to use and would help us manage our daughter and her car seat in the airport. We used it on two trips last summer, which involved going through security in 4 airports and it didn't fit through the x ray in any of them! I also couldn't get any TSA agent to hand screen it, so I had to disassemble it and then reassemble it after security screening. It also doesn't fit down the aisle so we had to carry it and the carseat over the seats to our row. We also couldn't get it to fit in the airplane seat with it on, so it had to come off again for the flight. That meant we had to take it apart and put it back together a total of 3 times from the airport to the rental car. Also, the base of our carseat (Cosco Alpha Omega Elite) didn't work with the Go Go Kidz, so we had to carry that piece separately. This summer, we spent $30 on a rolling shaped duffle type bag that fit the car seat and has back pack style straps. I think it will be a much better investment. I hope I'll be able to sell it and recoup some of our cost.

Try Go Go Kidz TravelMate - IT WORKS!

My husband and I just took our daughter on her first flight and I'm so glad I found the Go Go Kidz TravelMate before we traveled! I just couldn't imagine having to trek through any airport having to haul our toddler and her bulky car seat around, so I purchased the TravelMate online. When it arrived at our home, before our trip, my husband just thought it was another example of frivolous spending. By the first leg of our journey he said it was quite helpful. When we got home, after our trip, he admitted he couldn't have managed without the TravelMate and that our money was well spent on it. The TravelMate was indeed a huge blessing! It's quick and easy to attach and remove, and fits nicely in an Express Jet's tiny overhead compartment. Also an added plus, is that your child's already familiar with their car seat, so they aren't startled by a strange new contraption. If you're headed out to an airport soon, be sure you've got a Go Go Kidz TravelMate with you!

Very convenient

I bought this item for my son (18 mo) for our trip to California. Im glad I did as it was useful to stroll him in his own carseat (a Britax Marathon)at the airport and put him on the plane seat (i bought him a ticket). I had my 7 month in the snuggli and i also had a diaper back pack. My husband held another hand carry after we checked in our baggage. The only problem I faced was at the security. Their X-ray machine was too small and there was a LONG line. They tried to push it in (it didnt go-the seat cover got BLACK stains) then one gentleman (security) took it aside and used the wand. It doesnt go through the isles of the aircraft (737/747) either. So I left it at the kitchen area and requested the flight attendent to give me some time to settle ourselves and our carry ons before I fix the carseat on the plane. You need an extension belt to attach the whole thing on the plane seat. I didnt have to remove the wheels on the plane (or in the car). They pop out easily if u need to. My son was happy in his own space. Slept, ate, played on the 6 hrs flight. We had let him run around before we got on the plane so he could stretch himself. This is a great product and so easy to install. The Britax marathon fits perfectly on the travel mate. My shopping experience at Amazon was great. My product arrived in time and in brand new condition. I would strongly recommend this product to tarvelling parents.

Best thing ever for airports!

This is such a wonderful invention! It worked perfect and made traveling with two kids under 2 so much easier! Little pricey but your sanity and comfort is well worth it. I recommend this product to anyone traveling with small children!

Sadly disappointed.

Part of the attraction to this product was that the carseat could be easily attached and removed. I was shocked to find out when I purchased the product that you actually have to screw the straps on and unscrew to get them off. That does not make traveling easier when you have to go through security as well as deal with impatient people on the airplane waiting for you to get situated etc, etc. Isn't the point to make traveling easier? If only someone could figure out a way to make it snap on and off.
