| |  | Car Seat Accessories | | Home » | | | | | | | Description: | | Turn your car seat into a stroller and make your travels a breeze! The Universal Travelmate is a handled, wheeled attachment that is designed to work with most toddler car seats. It is light-weight and easily removable by simply turning a few knobs. Most parents areaware that the FAA strongly recommends that all children under 40 lbs travel by plane in an FAA approved car seat. This presents a dilemma - how do you move the car seat and the various items of carry-on luggage through the airport and have a free hand to assist and tend to your child with?! Instead of carrying your car seat and child through the airport, you can wheel them. The gogo Kidz significantly lightens the load of parents on the go with toddlers and all their gear! It takes just seconds to attach and then your car seat and your child are ready to roll - right through the airport and down the jetway! In larger aircraft the Go Go Kidz Universal will actually roll right down the aisle of the plane to your seat. When you arrive at your seat simply place your child's car seat with the Travelmate still attached and buckle them in (a hint to make your life easier: ask the flight attendant for a Seatbelt Extender). The Go-Go Kidz Universal Travelmate truly simplifies traveling with toddlers!Works with Britax - Roundabout, Marathon, Decathlon, Boulevard, and Wizard; Cosco - Alpha Omega Elite, Summit High Back, High Back Booster;Eddie Bauer - Summit Booster; Evenflo - Titan Deluxe, Tribute VLX, Generations Booster, Harness Booster, Tribute 5 Deluxe, Chase LX; Fisher Price - SafeVoyage; Graco - Toddler Safe Seat, Comfort Sport, Treasured CarGo; Recaro -Young Sport; Safety 1st - 3-Phase, Enspira.

Worthwhile InvestmentJul 17, 2008
We used two of these with our two year old twins recently and had a generally pleasant experience. It's a breeze wheeling your kids around the airport. When our kids were not in their carseats they loved pushing them around the airport. We had no trouble getting through security, they fit through the X-ray machines with the wheels attached. TSA will also do hand inspection if you request it. The only minor problem was getting the seat attached while on the plane. There is not much room to maneuver the seat belts through the back. Our flight attendant said we could not use seat belt extenders with carseats. If your airline still pre-boards, take advantage of it so your not working up a sweat trying to get your carseats belted in. I also think it makes sense to slip the wheels off when securing on the airplane. If we were only traveling with one toddler, I don't think it would be worth the expense, but with two, it makes all the difference.
 Pretty inconvenientJun 14, 2008
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!May 27, 2008
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 convenientMay 17, 2008
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!May 17, 2008
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!
