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

The Go-Go Kidz TravelMate is compatible with a variety of convertible/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

 Very Useful November 29, 2008
Anne & Oliver (Atlanta)
I bought this in February 2008 to take my then 11 month old on a business trip. I have used it about 4 or 5 times since. I'm very happy with it. I agree with the reviewer who complained about how much of a hassle the long screws were. I get around that by only unscrewing one side for disassembling. It shortens the amount of time to get the seat back on the cart and protects from losing the screw. I could send the seat & cart through security assembled but on our last trip, it wouldn't fit. Instead, security just manually scanned & checked the seat for me. We usually just use it as a stroller in the airport & as an easy way to transport the carseat. I gate check them. The one time I attempted to bring it down the plane aisles, it wouldn't fit. Since my son still sits on my lap for trips, its just easier. I'm not sure what we'll do when he needs his own seat.
We get all kinds of looks in the airport together. He is happy riding along in his seat and having a seat that he can get in & out of on his own, unlike the stroller. I like it enough that I've recommended it strangers in the airport. Instead of recommending it to family, we just offer to loan ours out.
 Wheels fall off November 27, 2008
Tricia B (Illinois)
I purchased this product to use for my 2 yr old son for airport travel. The first time I used the product I flew by myself & had to have a lay over in a large airport where there was a lot of walking to get to the different terminals. I put my son in his car seat & then in to the travelmate & started to wheel him to our next plane... The wheels continuously popped off the frame & I had to stop constantly to put them back on. Also, when I tried to wheel the product on to the plane to put my son in his car seat in the plane seat... The travelmate with the car seat wouldn't fit down the small plane aisles. I had to carry the travelmate with the car seat & my son over my head. It was very difficult to get the product on & off of the car seat while having the other plane passengers waiting on you to get off of the plane. I had a very bad experience with this product & I would urge anyone not to deal with the many headaches I had to deal with.
 doesn't fit down airplane aisle November 24, 2008
Bonnie
This is a great concept and we had several people ask us about it in the airport. Unfortunately with our Britax Marathon carseats it would not fit down the airplane aisle. One trip we took our one year old twins out of their carseats/wheels and carried them separately to their seats. The return trip we carried the babies in their seats/wheels to our seats on the plane. Neither worked well. If there was only one baby and two adults this would probably work perfectly.
traveling with car seat November 23, 2008
A. Clark
works great as a stroller when you have to travel with car seat.
Kind of a pain to unscrew from car seat but wheels come off really easy
Great product for traveling... November 2, 2008
Veronika Williams (San Diego, CA USA)
We bought this to take our son on his first birthday trip. It was invaluable for wheeling him around the airport. Taking it off and on was very easy, which is good, because it really does need to be removed before the seat can easily fit on an airline seat.
Our only complaint was that it couldn't be wheeled down the aisle of the airplane, but that's more the fault of our giant Britax car seat.
