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 instead of squirming around in a seat made for an adult, or worse, squirming around on your lap.
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.

Summary: traveling with a toddler using the traveling toddler car seat accessory
Comment: the strap is shaped like an upside down T, so the instructions say to attach the latch strap buckles from the carseat at the 3 ends of the traveling toddler strap (2 ends attach around the sides of the luggage and the middle strap goes over the top of it). but the car seat i had (and the various ones my sisters' let me try) only have 1 strap with 2 buckles on the ends. so i didn't have the top strap to keep it securely balanced, which sucked when i first put it together because my son was dead asleep and his head was so far tilted to the side that he tipped the whole thing over. thankfully, he wasn't hurt (only upset because he woke up) but it shows the flaw in the design. i figured out how to get the perfect balance to where he didn't weeble and wobble but it still felt a little unstable without the top strap. but it was a hell of a lot easier than trying to carry a carseat, luggage, bookbag, and hyper 3 yr old by myself through numerous airports. i'll definitely keep using it, but i'm looking into buying another latch strap/buckle for the car seat to make it better.

Summary: tricky at first but got the job done
Comment: I bought this product because of the price. For the most part it got the job done. It was terribly tricky to get hooked up to my car seat. Also good to know is that it uses the straps from your car seats latch system. Don't buy this if you have an older seat or a seat that is without those. Once I finally got my seat hooked up to my luggage pulling this around the airport was a breeze. Notice though that I say pulling. I had to pull it rather than push it. Due to the weight of the items in my carryon and the weight of the car seat I never did end up putting my little one in her seat while it was strapped to my suitcase. Overall I am content with the product but not thrilled with it. It made transporting the car seat easy but I still ended up having to hang on to my little one.

Summary: Must have
Comment: We got this for a trip including changing planes. It worked well and we were glad to have it. Only complaint is that it is a bit of a pain to stop and attach it every time you get off the plane, through security, etc... We will use it again, it is useful and nice to have. Did not use it as a stroller, only attached it to the luggage to carry it

Summary: Lifesaver when travelling alone
Comment: I recently traveled with my 16-month-old when we had to evacuate away from hurricane Gustav. My husband had to go elsewhere for his job, so I was flying with my daughter by myself. This product was so helpful. As long as you do a trial run at home before using it for the first time, you'll be fine. The hardest part is making sure the LATCH straps are adjusted just right. I found it easier to pull rather than push, especially over carpet in the airport.
Disassembling for airport security can be a hassle (especially without an extra set of hands) but if you think it through and give yourself plenty of time it works out. I even had TSA people remark how ingenious the product was and ask if they could help me put it all back together after we got through the checkpoint.
The only downside is the price, but after using it once, I'm sure I'll use it again and get my money's worth! And it's much better than buying one of those car seats on wheels!

Summary: it worked
Comment: I couldn't believe this really worked. Given the mixed reviews I was hesitant but I thought I would try it out before buying something expensive. Totally works with big suitcases, those that you are going to check. Much more difficult with a carry on size, though it does work. Clearly nothing is going to get your from your car to your plane seat without having some trouble (security, skinny plane aisles etc). I gave it 3 stars as it really is better with older toddlers who will stand still for 5 seconds. For those of you with really young toddlers especially traveling alone, no matter what you buy it is going to be the nightare you think it is!
