Do you think its worth buying the gogo kidz travelmate? Could you just strap baby and carseat to a luggage cart..is it safe?......ideas please.....thanks
Answer
Depends upon how much you will be traveling. It is rather expensive, $70 or so, but remember that if you don't plan on using it much, you can also resell it on eBay or craigslist when you are done with it. It works great (though not compatible with EVERY car seat) but there are other options:
Get a luggage cart from Walmart/Target: $30 or so, strap the seat on with bungee cords and you're good to go. You will need to remove it to get through security, but that's true with the GoGoKidz as well. Or get a Traveling Toddler - it hooks the car seat to a piece of wheeled luggage for a place for your child to sit while you pull him through the airport and is rumored as easier to use than the GoGoKidz.

at what age are children not required to ride in a car seat while flying?
Samantha
I have a 3yr old and 4 1/2 yr old and we are flying late may. How do I know if my children need a carseat and I need advice on how to lug two carseats with carry ons by myself with two toddlers
Answer
Children are not required by U.S. law to be in a car seat on an airplane. Not sure about other countries (if you are planning on traveling outside of the U.S.). However, if you will need a car seat once you get to your destination then you will need to take one or at least have one with you as part of your checked luggage. Many people chose to use car seats until age 3, though there is probably no added safety. As far as getting it around air ports, there are many companies that make car seat straps or carriers with wheels such as the one here http://www.amazon.com/J-L-Childress-Wheelie-Seat-Travel/dp/B004EZKQRE to make it easier to get around with a car seat. Our family has also used the straps on our suitcases to attach them to the rest of our luggage.
