Must have this travel mate
Reviewer: Anonymous , Redmond, WA

We have traveled with 7mo and 27mo old boys over seas. After 26 hours of travel, we both agreed that it would be impossible to survive if there was no GoGo wheels. This is a must have travel item.

A Definite Must Have For Traveling
Reviewer: Anonymous , Ft. Thomas, KY
Date: January 02, 2008
I bought this to use for my eight month old son. It DID fit through the x-ray machine attached to a Britax Marathon at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. On the way home they had to use the hand wand because the x-ray machines were much smaller at the Dallas Ft. Worth Airport, which was not a big deal at all. It made traveling a lot less chaotic. It was nice not having to carry a carseat and maneuver a stroller at the same time. The only drawback is the fact that it does not fit in the overhead bin on the airplane. We had to gate check it, which wasn't too much of a pain. I would definitely recommend this product. It is well worth the money.

Essential for travel with babies
Reviewer: Andrea , Sarasota, FL
Date: December 13, 2007
I have an older version of this that goes with the Britax roundabout. Except on small regional jets like the CR7 it has rolled down aisles. It fits through most xray machines while attached to the seat. I often travel alone with my two and three year old. I use this to transport my two year old through the airport and onto the plane. Given my seat is not that heavy, I can lift my DS and the seat into the airplane seat if needed. My DS loves sitting in his seat riding backwards through the airport this way. I wouldn't go without it. I have been using it for 4 years.

Works like a dream, worth the $$ if you value sani
Reviewer: Anonymous , San Francisco, CA

Nothing new here, the Travelmate definitely makes traveling so much less stressful. Our 1-yr-old daughter fell asleep in her carseat and we had a civilized flight reading. (Remember the good old days?!) Having her familiar carseat on the flight made all the difference for napping.
The Quick-Release wheels made it so my Britax Roundabout fit through the scanners at Oakland and Las Vegas, no problem. No need to detatch the Travelmate. I think we did take it off on the plane because the handle hit the headrest. But detaching was easy. The screws twist off pretty fast and easily.
Our carseat was too big to wheel down most planes with the 3-3 seat configuration.
Like other reviewers, we got loads of comments on what a good idea it is. Wish I got commission for all my referrals!
I was wary of buying from other vendors, really wanted those QR wheels. Thanks elitecarseats for a quick delivery and good service.

Gogo Kidz Travelmate-Must Have!
Reviewer: L. Bertholf , Merchantville, NJ
Date: December 03, 2007
I am SOOO glad that I bought this product! I also wish I got a $1 for each person that stopped me in the airport and commented on what a great idea the Travelmate is. I used it with a Britax Roundabout and it was very easy to install. My 7 month old also loved the novelty of being wheeled around the airport. We don't travel that often, but as I said about 50 times this trip, this product was worth EVERY penny!

A Must have if you travel often
Reviewer: Anonymous , New York, NY
Date: September 10, 2007
This is great for traveling. I highly recommend it. We live in NYC, travel a lot and do not have a car. This is great when you take a cab, rent a car and fly often. Feels secure and easy to use. My 5 month old seems to like it. So far I only had to take the wheels off at the Boston's Logan airport's because it didn't fit in their X-ray machine. I use it with a Britax Marathon car seat.

Makes Travel Easier
Reviewer: Jennifer , Colorado Springs, CO
Date: September 09, 2007
I bought the GoGo Travelmate to travel alone with my 8month old. As with many of the reviews I had read; It does not fit through the x-ray machine attached to my carseat (Britax Decathlon). I had to unscrew it-Not a huge deal. It does not fit down the aisle of the aircraft on the carseat due to the car seat width. If you are traveling alone; it is very difficult to carry a car seat and an infant through the airplane. I had to remove it from the car seat for the plane ride (probably due again to the size of my carseat) because with the handle-it didnt fit in the seat space (in the rear facing position). My biggest complaint is that the way it attaches to the carseat. It attaches with 2screws; which is fine at home or in any open area. However on the plane presents more of a difficulty. Since I had to un-attach it while on the plane. I mistakenly threw the screws in my carry on bag (where they got lost) So on when getting off the plane. I had the carseat, the gogo travelmate, my carry on bag, and the baby all to maneuver with. So my suggestion is to be sure u know where and have easy access to the screws. Maybe one day they will make a safe spot to secure them fo the travelmate.
As for assembly...it was very easy. I had a defective wheel which was replaced immediately without any problems.
Overall, I would suggest this to anyone who was interested. It may not be perfect; but it makes a lot of differences to make travel easier. I do plan on using it every time I travel.

Great Travel Accessory
Reviewer: Mom of 16 month son , Stillwater, OK
Date: September 08, 2007
We travel a lot and when I take our son by myself this product is a life saver. It makes lugging his seat through airports manageable. I have the model with the quick release wheels and left the Travelmate attached to his Britax marathon seat when I strapped him into the airplane seat. It was so easy. Then I just snapped the wheels back on when we landed. Thanks for a great product.

Great idea
Reviewer: Anonymous , Denver, CO
Date: September 07, 2007
This dolly saved me several times already as I travel with my toddler and her car seat on every flight. The only issue I have with it is that it is very cumbersome to attach and the wheels are a little iffy, meaning you've got to be sure that the little wire thing is in position or the wheels come off. I already lost a screw because it came loose after I had to check it at the plane - a small one.
