  If you have traveled with your baby ever before, you will know navigating airports carrying your baby is not fun.  Here comes a gadget to the rescue.  This accessory makes your trips easier by eliminating the need to hand carry or rent a carseat.  You no longer need to carry both your baby and the car seat. 
  
  Storage: it folds to a flat lay in a mid-sized car trunk.

  The new edition includes a new ratcheting, quick-release strap that makes life a little easier still.
  
  Weight: 5 pounds
  
  Other features: It's got a telescoping handle that would extend for the parents.  The wheels are wide rubber-edged.  Your baby traveler will enjoy the stable and smooth ride.

  Cons: You will likely be asked to take this apart at the x-ray machine at the airport.  But that should not be a big hassle.
  
  Note: FAA does recommend car seats for both airplane and your destination.

  Tips:

  1. Practice attaching your gogo Kidz Travelmate to your car seat PRIOR to your travel day. Do not hesitate to call Go-Go Babyz (408.360.0653) to have someone walk you through the set up. Once you attach to your car seat for the first time, practice a few more times and you will find it to be very easy and fast. In addition, with a little practice, you should be able to attach the gogo Kidz Travelmate to your car seat in the upright position, even with a sleeping child in the car seat. 2. It is a great idea to travel with a back pack rather than a shoulder strap bag. The back pack will allow you to have both hands free: one for wheeling your car seat and the other for holding your boarding pass. (Baby Sherpa makes a great diaper back pack) 3. IF your car seat does not fit through the x-ray machine with the gogo Kidz attached, the quick release wheels can be removed to create extra clearance. If this does not work, simply ask security to take your seat (with the gogo Kidz attached) to the side to hand wand rather than having to remove the gogo Kidz from your seat. 4. Your car seat will not fit down the aisle of the airplane. If you will be using your car seat on the airplane, take your child out of the seat just prior to boarding. Wheel your car seat onto the plane and put the handle in the lowest position so at the last minute, you can pick up your car seat by the gogo Kidz handle to carry down the aisle of the plane. 5. If you do not have a separate seat for your child on the airplane, take advantage of the easy ability to use your car seat as your stroller through the airport and gate check. This will allow you to safely and securely have your child ride through the airport and have your car seat for layovers, or simply at your final destination. Remember, the taxi cab will most likely NOT have a car seat for the ride from the airport to your destination.
