Description of Traveling Toddler Car Seat Travel AccessoryATTN: Britax owners. If our product is too short, please check to be sure your LATCH straps are in the forward facing position. Whether flying on an airplane or traveling by train or bus, it is safest and most comfortable for your child to be in a car seat. But traveling with a young child, their seat, and your carry-on can be tricky. Not anymore. The Traveling Toddler strap allows you to attach your LATCH and top tether equipped toddler's car seat to a rolling carry-on suitcase. Simply attach the LATCH and top tether straps from the car seat to the Traveling Toddler and adjust the straps so that the car seat is held securely on the suitcase. Once adjusted, the car seat can be detached and reattached to the suitcase in seconds. Lift the handle of your carry-on bag and you have a fun new stroller. Now there's an easy and inexpensive way to take your toddler's car seat and other gear on your trip. You do not have to buy a special seat or suitcase. As long as your suitcase handle locks in place, you can push it like a stroller. Your hands are free for check in and its simple to unhook for security. Keep your child safe and comfortable in their own seat. The Traveling Toddler has been tested with most major car seat brands including Graco, Eddie Bauer, Cosco, Evenflo, and Britax, and a variety of carry-on suitcases and has worked with every combination. It is important that the telescoping handle of your suitcase locks in place. If not, it might not stay extended when you try to push your child in front of you, though you would still be able to pull them. If flying, make sure that your car seat is FAA approved before traveling. The Traveling Toddler strap is made from heavyweight polypropylene webbing that will withstand 900 lbs of force. When not in use it easily slips in the pocket of your carry-on. As with any other wheeled child carrier, do not use the Traveling Toddler on stairs or escalators. Car seat and suitcase sold separately. Patent pending.
Baby Products Reviews of Traveling Toddler Car Seat Travel AccessoryCustomer Review: It Barely or Did Not Fit Our Carry-on with Britax Roundabout Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this to use on our recent Spring Break vacation. I'm a big baby travel gadget fan and own lots of various types of car seat carrier accessories bought from here and places like One Step Ahead. I was really excited about this after reading the rave reviews on Amazon. We did not intend to use this to carry my 9 month old; we only meant to use it to carry the car seat since I carry the baby on me with a baby carrier. Well, after using it on our last trip (from Chicago to Southern California and back), my husband refused to use it at the end, preferring to hand carry the Britax Roundabout. Why? Because the horizontal straps (imagine the top horizontal line of the "T") -- the one with a ring on each end -- is just a bit too short. We had two rolling carry-on size suitcases, an American Tourister with an expandable top that could add another three inches and a Samsonite. My husband had pulled the latch straps on the car seat out as far as they'd extend. No matter how he tugged things the Traveling Toddler straps (the side with two rings that goes around the body of the suitcase to hook onto each side of the carseat latch hook) was just a bit too short for the American Tourister -- presumably because the expandable top portion added another 1/2 inch or so in width, even though we had it zipped up to the smallest size. With the Samsonite, it was so snug that it'd take a good 5 minutes sometimes just for him to hook the straps on, and that is after doing a lot of adjustment and struggle. So imagine my husband's frustration with this each time we had to unhook and hook it -- after removal of the luggage from the shuttle/car into the airport, going through security, leaving security and going to the gate, getting on the plane (because it was tough to pull the carseat down the narrow aisles), off the plane gangway, etc. I told him I'll try to find some sort of extension or maybe try using some keychain rings to hook onto the D ring to extend the straps for our next trip; until then, he said we're not using this anymore. Seriously, for the price of this simple (but clever) contraption you'd think the maker could have made the straps a bit longer to accommodate thicker carry-on suitcases and car seats with shorter latch straps! The latch straps can always be adjusted to be a bit shorter/tighter, so it can't be a matter of safety to not add a bit more length -- even an inch would have helped -- to this Traveling Toddler strap. Right now I cannot recommend this for anyone with a big carseat like the Britax Roundabout or anyone with a carryon suitcase that is not on the thinner side. I gave this two stars because it deserves one star for the idea and another star for the fact that when we were able to squeeze one onto to the Samsonite, it was great to roll the carseat around instead of carrying it on our backs (via one of those backpack carseat carriers) or carrying it in another big bag (since we already has so many bags/cases).
