The Product: Car Seat Stroller Attachment

Recommendation: GoGo Kidz Travelmate Review

This is hands down one of the best accessory purchases we have made. Rather than lugging your car seat around the airport, the GoGo Kidz attaches to the back of your convertible car seat, turning it into a functional stroller. This makes it much easier to get your baby around the airport and allows you to check your stroller with your luggage.

Originally designed to work with Britax seats, the new Go Go Kidz Travelmate now works with virtually any convertible car seat. Another nice feature is that it can stay attached for use on the airplane (ask for a belt extender), however you must remove it for automobiles. We were stopped by no less than 10 people on a recent trip who noticed that Britax doesn’t make a car seat and asked us about the GoGo Kidz Travelmate and where they could buy one. This company could sell a lot of these by setting up shop at the airport. Once you get to your destination, it's easy to detach from the car seat and will even fit flat in your suitcase. The GoGo Kidz is a much more cost effective solution than buying the Sit N Stroll car seat, as it’s less than half the price and it’s probably not practical to expect to use the Sit N' Stroll as your primary stroller on vacation anyway.

Devil's Advocate:

Although you may think that the GoGo Kidz Travelmate would be a good substitute for bringing a stroller, it’s really not practical to keep taking the car seat in and out of the car and having to hook and unhook the Travelmate every time, unless you will only need the stroller on one or two occasions. However, while it may seem of limited use, lugging a carseat around the airport when you have your hands full (especially when you have connections) really does get tiresome. Also, if you have an older toddler who does not really use a stroller, it can be a great way to get them around the terminal without bringing a second stroller.
