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

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

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.
Life Saver! September 29, 2008
T. Arias (New York, NY)
I never realized how difficult it is traveling with a baby! The Go Go Kidz TravelMate was extremely helpful when moving around the airport. A couple of improvements could help much. Making the handle collapse further down so you can store the car seat in a travel bag without detaching the TravelMate, and a better mechanism to attach the TravelMate to the car seat being that too many pieces are involved and during the grind of attaching and detaching during travel (some airports may make you take it apart to pass security) you could lose a piece.
 Needs work - consider an alternative September 29, 2008

While it seemed like a great idea and technically it does work as claimed, you would be better off buying a smaller and/or lightweight car or booster seat.
We just got back from our hawaii trip with our 16 month old son. Bought him his own plane seat and attached the TravelMate to his Britax Marathon. The initial trip into and through the airport was fine, then the problems started:
1) The Marathon is admittedly big, but many are these days. It is too wide for the plane aisles so you cant just roll up to your airplane seat. Not the travelmates fault but too late to do anything at that point. I had to take my son out of the seat and lift the car seat over my head to get to our seats (of course we had other carry on luggage as well)
2) Per other comments, getting the travelmate off the car seat was a royal pain, GET RID OF THE THUMB SCREWS!. HOWEVER - realized that you really dont need to take it off as the car seat fits in the airplane seat fine with the travelmate still on it (thanks for covering this in the instructions, NOT). Just ignore the fact that it pitches the kid forward so he is constantly kicking the seat in front of him.:)
2a) the attachment plate makes snaking the seatbelt buckle through the seat a royal pain (as you are blocking the aisle and getting dirty looks)
3)Same problem getting off the plane - seat was too wide to roll through the aisle, so had to give kid and carry-ons to wife while i hold seat over my head to get it off the plane.
4) You may think you will use this as a stroller replacement but you wont. We ended up going to WalMart on the island and getting the $17.00 cosco stroller. It worked great, left it there.
Repeat all above on return trip. argh.
Had we known, I would have bought a smaller lightweight car seat or maybe just a good booster seat and then checked the stroller at the gate.
Its enough of an adventure traveling with a child or two. While seemingly a cool idea I would pass on this piece of gear until they make substantial improvements.
 Seriously poor design September 28, 2008
Sharon Byer (minneapolis, mn)
This device is basically a set of wheels and a handle which you attach to your infant car seat. The first version would not easily fit through x-ray machines so they came out with a version with "removable wheels". The problem is that the removable wheels are always falling off at the most inconvenient times. This poor design is combined with the ridiculous price makes this product a waste of time and money.
 I love it! September 23, 2008
C. Pierce
This is the best thing ever. It is easy to use and perfect when the car seat needs to come with you but you do not wish to carry it.
