Product Description
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. Car seat and suitcase sold separately. Patent pending.

 Love this Product. A lifesaver. November 3, 2006

We recently used this with my 26 month old son on his Britax Marathon. It was so simple. With my husband's help, we were able to attach it to the carry-on while my son remained sleeping in his seat. My son is a real busy body and hates strollers, so I worried that he would not want to sit in it during our layover after being stuck in a plane for 4 hours, but he loved it. He actually couldn't wait to sit in it and be wheeled through the airport. Once we got to our final destination, he actually threw a fit because we would not take the seat out of the car and wheel him inside the house.
This strap saved me a bundle! October 11, 2006

After traveling trying to push a stroller and drag a suitcase and carry a carseat all at once, I was at my wit's end. I almost purchased a special strolling-carseat for $200... when I found this! What a smart invention. It saved me a bundle AND makes travel easier because I only have to push ONE item, my suitcase-stroller combo! When I need to check my carseat, I do it at the gate, just as you would a stroller. This item is excellent and the inventor gives great customer service as well.
An absolute MUST-HAVE when traveling with a carseat December 17, 2007

After having traveled with my 18 month old last year while I was 5 months pregnant, I swore I would never travel alone again. You would have to be an octopus to handle all the items you need as you make your way through the airport: Stroller, carseat, luggage, child - and you only have 2 hands!
I found the "Traveling Toddler" on Amazon and am so thrilled I purchased it. As luck would have it, I had to travel with my now 3 year old and my 1 year old by myself, and certainly could not have done so without this device. With this simple strap, I was able to convert my carseat and carry on into a stroller and push it with 1 hand. The other was free to hold onto the 3 year old's hand.
The device uses the LATCH system hooks from your carseat to strap onto your luggage. If you keep the top one hooked to the device, you can easily unstrap and restrap your carseat. I have a Britax Roundabout and it worked like a charm.
This is a very inexpensive way to keep your sanity when traveling with a carseat.
Wonderful invention! December 7, 2006

I found this product after searching for ways to make traveling with my two-year old easier. She loved riding in her carseat through the airport and 6 people stopped me to ask how it worked. The security agent said he wished all parents used this instead of trying to jam enormous strollers through the x-ray machine.
I would give it more stars if I could!!! September 26, 2007

This is a must have. It worked perfectly and took much of the hassle out of traveling in the airport. We travel often and it was always a little stressful with a 2 year old. Since we got this strap traveling has been a breeze.
Travel before purchase:
One of us (usually me) was elected to take care of said 2 year old while the other had to haul the cumbersome carseat. Keeping up with 2 yr old in airport is not an easy feat. We tried taking a stroller, but he can easily escape. Why would he want to ride in a stroller when he could be running around the airport. By the time we actually got on the plane I was exhausted and frazzled. I tried traveling a few times by myself with 2 yr old and I swore I would never do it again.
Travel after purchase:
Travel is a breeze. Our toddler does not question sitting in his carseat. So he rides without compliant while strapped on a suitcase. No more chasing run away toddler, no more lugging carseat through airport. We normally fly Southwest and we just wheel him down and right into the first row, where the isle is larger, unstrap him(carseat and all) and lift him into the plane seat without ever taking him out. When we land we get the bag and strap his carseat to it and off we go. It is wonderful. It was so easy that I decided I could travel alone with him again and I have with no problems.
It is a simple idea and it may seem expensive for the materials used, but it is a bargain when you consider the headache and hassle saved.
