Product Description
Product Description
The Go-Go Babyz Travelmate quickly turns your toddler car seat into a compact travel stroller so you can navigate any airport with your child and all their gear quickly and safely. The Travelmate is compatible with a large variety of toddler and convertible car seats on the market and is made for children up to 50 pounds. Weighing in at only five pounds, the Travelmate is one of the lightest, most compact car seat strollers available. Its wide wheel base provides added stability for cornering and maneuverability and can be pushed or pulled. Now, instead of carrying your child and car seat, you can wheel your child in their own car seat comfortably and safely through a crowd with one hand. The Travelmate’s initial assembly is quick and simple so you can be up and rolling in no time. It is equipped with a fold down base to accommodate the large car seats on the market today so you can securely roll your child in their own car seat eliminating the need to carry a heavy car seat and tired child. The quick release ratcheting strap makes attaching and removing the Travelmate quick and simple and the 3 inch, quick release razor wheels provide a smooth ride, precise handling and can be installed or removed in a matter seconds without the need for tools. And, the four position telescoping handle allows you to adjust the height to your desired comfort level and can be fully retracted for compact storage. The Travelmate can be checked with your baggage, rolled to gate and checked, or rolled all the way on the plane to be used in flight or stored in the overhead compartment. If you use your Travelmate and car seat during the flight we suggest using a seat belt extender to make it easier to secure and release the airline seat belt. If you chose to check your car seat and or Travelmate we suggest you protect it in a sturdy bag. The Travelmate is designed to withstand some abuse but items can get banged around during flight.

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.
How It WorksThe 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
The Go-Go Kidz TravelMate is compatible with most widely available car seats, including:
Note: the TravelMate is not compatible with the following seats: Britax Parkway Booster; Combi Koluk High back booster; Cosco Scenera; Graco Turbo Booster; Safety 1st Intera; and Recaro.
From the Manufacturer
Parents will wonder how they ever managed without the gogo Kidz Travelmate, just as everyone in the world can't imagine travel without roller suitcases. The patented design significantly lightens the load of parents on the go with babies, toddlers and all their gear. Go-Go Babyz makes traveling with toddlers a breeze with the gogo Kidz Travelmate. The gogo Kidz Travelmate is a convenient and safe attachment for a variety of convertible/toddler car seats. Instead of carrying your car seat and child through an airport, they can now be wheeled through a crowd!

It features 5” quick-release razor wheels and telescopic handle, and weighs 5 lbs. The quick release wheels provide extra clearance for storage and smaller x-ray machines. Airports:Because the FAA strongly recommends children under 40 lbs. be seated in a child car seat on an airplane, parents have had to haul their car seats through the airport, straining their backs, arms and patience. The gogo Kidz Travelmate significantly lightens the load of parents on the go with toddlers and all their gear. A car seat using the gogo Kidz Travelmate eliminates the need to hand carry, rent or borrow a car seat at your final destination .WARNING! Do not leave the gogo Kidz Travelmate attached to the car seat while driving in an automobile. The gogo Kidz has not been tested in combination with any car seats in any crash testing program and injury to your child could occur. Car seat not included.

PROS:
* Made traveling within the airport(s) relatively easy and fast - no small feat with a toddler in tow
* Extremely convenient and easy to use (TIP: figure out how it works *before* you travel, and as soon as you board, ask a flight attendant for a seat belt extender - you'll need it to buckle in the car seat)
* Didn't have to detach the Travelmate at security (TIP: ask if they'll check your car seat by hand - in our case, they were always happy to do so and were really fast)
* Our daughter loved the novelty of it - she was comfortable and actually chose to ride in it most of the time
* Kept her contained/happy, making it easier for us to zoom through the airport quickly and make our connecting flight
* Assuming you detach the Travelmate prior to installing the car seat in the plane, it fits easily in the overhead compartment or even under the seats, so you don't have to gate-check it (TIP: we found there wasn't enough room depth-wise to keep it attached during flight)
CONS:
* Takes a few tries to figure out how to attach the car seat, so it helps if you practice in advance (it somehow looked backwards to us until we got it right)
* Slightly too wide to roll down most aircraft aisles (especially past first-class), so you'll have to carry it at some point
* You need to take elevators, which are never as convenient as the escalators (though you’d have to do this with a regular stroller, too)
* Car seat straps should be tucked away completely or it’s like having a shoelace untied…our straps kept sliding out and it made me slightly anxious (NOTE: this didn’t bother my hubby in the slightest)
Overall - I think it's a fantastic product and can't imagine traveling with a toddler without it. Highly recommend.
The details:
I bought this a week before our trip to Club Med in Mexico, after looking for a wheeled way to transport our toddler's car seat, a Britax Marathon. It turned out to be a great purchase, making travel with the car seat (and our baby and carry-ons) much easier. It garnered many approving comments from other parents in the airports. Here's how we ended up using it.
I attached the TravelMate securely to the car seat before we left, using the convenient rachet-strap. I took a bit of time studying the pictures and the car seat to figure this out, using the quick-start guide. I found that the more detailed instructions in the larger user manual were much more helpful.
Once I attached it, I never removed it until we got back home. I was able to secure the car seat+TravelMate to all airplane seats and taxi seats, popping off the wheels when necessary. Note: I was impressed by the heavy-duty wheels, but it took a few attempts to figure out how best to put them on securely once taken off. Also, one of the bearing rings repeatedly came off the wheel when detached - almost lost it on a plane.
Our daughter did not ride much in the seat - she likes to walk - but the car seat on wheels was great at hauling the carry-on bags around the terminals. Also, the TravelMate is very sturdy - to carry the car seat up and down stairs, I retracted the handle and used it as a carry handle - easy.
Note that our car seat (and most, I suspect) are too wide to roll down airplane aisles, so expect to take baby out of the seat before boarding the plane, and to carry the car seat to your airplane seat.
Bottom Line: We feel this sturdy roller platform was a great purchase and made traveling with the car seat easier. They just need to more tightly secure the bearing rings to the wheels.
UPDATE (JUNE 2012)
The Go-Go Babyz Kidz Travelmate continues to impress. It has now traveled on 5 more trips, some with multiple connections, and looks as good as new. The past four trips have involved gate-checking the car seat with the Travelmate attached (with wheels left on). At the other end, everything was still intact and functional. Popping the wheels on and off is very easy now. Still highly recommend this product! One tip: We attach the Travelmate to our Britex Marathon. To protect the car seat while it's traveling in the cargo hold, I pull a 33-gallon garbage bag over the Travelmate+car set combo. I then wrap a long velcro'd strap around the seat - this strap has a built-in handle - to hold the bag in place and make lifting it easier. I slip it on just before we board, and with a slit cut for the Travelmate handle, I can still wheel it down the gangway. I bring a second bag in case the first arrives too torn up to remain useful. Happy travels!
