Amazon.com Product Description
Airplane travel with a toddler can be a challenge, but with the Go-Go Kidz TravelMate, navigating the airport becomes a piece of cake. The TravelMate is a car seat attachment that allows it to be wheeled with ease through the airport, with your child safely belted in. So, rather than carrying your child on one arm and a bulky car seat on the other, you can breeze through the airport with less hassle. It is designed for use with most convertible or toddler car seats, for babies and children up to 50 pounds.  | The Go Go Kidz TravelMate offers: - Easy car seat attachment makes traveling with toddlers easy
- Lightweight, compact design won't cramp your travel style
- Compatible with most widely available convertible or toddler car seats

How It Works
The Go-Go Kidz TravelMate quickly and easily attaches to most convertible or toddler car seats. It has 5-inch wheels and a telescopic handle for easily wheeling your child in his or her car seat. Since the FAA strongly recommends that children under 40 pounds use a car seat for air travel, the TravelMate saves you the hassle of hauling your car seat -- and your active toddler, plus all your gear -- through the airport. The TravelMate's wheels detach easily for passing through airport security X-ray machines. The handle features four-position adjustability, ranging from 28 inches to 50-1/2 inches for maximum versatility. And at only five pounds, the TravelMate won't bog you down if you're trying to travel light. In fact, it makes a compact package: it folds flat for easy storage, measuring just 28 x 17 x 5 inches (H x L x W) when closed and 50-1/2 x 17 x 5 inches (H x L x W) when open. Safe and Secure
You can rest assured that your child will be safe and comfortable while you whiz through the airport with your TravelMate. Its wide, rubber wheels provide a stable, smooth ride, and it is designed for compatibility with most widely available car seat models. Award-Winning Innovation
The Go-Go Kidz TravelMate has received many awards, including the 2006 JPMA Innovation Award; the iParenting Media Award for Greatest Products of 2006; the Best Product of the Year for 2006 from Fit Pregnancy; and the Preemie Cool Stuff Award. - Go-Go Kidz TravelMate Compatibility

 Simple, Easy and Efficient March 1, 2010
Catherine A. Chapman
I recently took my 10 month old from Boston to West Palm Beach by myself... Having only 2 hands and a very active 10 month old, I was able to bring his carseat as his stroller to the gate, on the plane, and he was comfy cozy the whole time. His True Fit Covertible Car seat attached easily and since he had his own things with him he was able to sleep on the flight home. The extendable arm was amazingly long so I was able to attach his diaper bag to the back of the seat and only had to carry a small bag with a few toys for him. I actually found that the wheels on this "cart" were more maneaverable then his umbrella stroller! I got so many comments about this contraption on both the ride down and back that I was proud to have done my research and ordered this before I went. GREAT PRODUCT!
practical but not as easy as it seems February 26, 2010

I purchased the travelmate to fly to Europe alone with my 18 months old daughter. As I had booked a seat on the plane for her, I figured this was my best option. Walking around the airport with my daughter in it was no problem at all. However, getting the car seat out of the travelmate and watching my daughter at the same time as we got to our seats in the plane was another story. It's not as easy as it seems especially when in a stressful situation and if you have not practiced much beforehand. A stewardess ended up helping me and we were all set. So my point is if you are alone with your child, practice really well attaching and unlocking the car seat before your trip. Better yet, travel with another adult if you can.
On a final note, my daughter ended up spending the night on my lap in the plane, and not in her carseat!
2010 purchase- works great February 26, 2010

I purchased this to take through the airport for my son, we have an Alpha Omega Elite and also an Eddie Baugher (same exact design- different name). The carrier worked great!!! The release strap and the wheels popped off fine. I tried it before we went to make sure I understood how it worked. The only complaint I have is that the extendable handle doesn't lock in the most extended position so it slides back and forth if you don't lock it in the middle extension. Other than that it rolls great and is very maneuverable. I was a little leery of the price but would recommend it to friends and family, the price turned out to be worth it. It definitely saves the arms (I have carried the car seat before and it was VERY uncomfortable.)

I only wish this item were more readily available in the UK. I caught a glimpse of it in Heathrow Airport on my first trip back to the USA with my then 8 week old son. I knew I had to have it as I would be travelling back and forth on my own a lot with my son.
Although my son is only 9 months and doesn't require a seat on the plane, with the new rules on flights and only being allowed a stroller OR a car seat, i thought this would solve the problem...and it delivered! My son didn't mind being in the car seat as long as we were moving! I don't think I could have managed the flights on my own without this item!
I only give it a 4, though, as I feel it's really FAR too expensive for what it is...a metal plate with a strap and handle on wheels! It's very useful, but surely doesn't warrent the price! Yet, if it lasts through all the future flights and children, then I will rate it a 5.
Awesome...We travelled 11 hours...twice...and it did great1 February 19, 2010

My husband and I recently purchased this because I was going to be traveling alone with our one year old and needed things to be as smooth as possible...and WOW was it ever.I placed the Go-go Kidz Travelmate on the carseat in the airport parking lot and didn't take it off until we arrived at our destination. The carseat was hand checked at security because of the carseat size (not because of any added size of the travelmate) and I simply carried my son through and placed him right back in the carseat and rolled our way to the gate. When we boarded I had help getting the carseat to the airline seat and it went straight in without having to take it off. We asked for a seatbelt extender and it made getting the carseat hooked and unhooked super easy. It was amazing how smooth things went and how much it felt and operated as a stroller. We traveled 11 hours that day...and yes it's pricy, but worth the sanity for me!
