Ours arrives today, my husband is convinved it is the answer to all of our airport problems, so the jury is out for me until Friday after we fly.

@cascademom: What kind of car seat do you plan to use? We use the Cosco Scenara and I will be honest, I am not sure this will help us. Normally, what we do is bungee the seat to one of our carryons. My son is almost 3 and I don't know how his legs will be with this contraption.

@cascademom: we got one for our last plane trip and OMG, that thing is AWESOME. We have two kids that were age 3 and 1 at the time and we took one umbrella stroller and one carseat with the gogobabyz. It was great because you can either drag it behind you or push it in front of you, plus we wanted to take the carseat onto the plane, which was GREAT too because my toddler doesn't do well in the seat alone (he scooches down until he's falling off) so when we put him into the carseat he was comfy and happy and didn't move. That being said, he doesn't mind carseats.

If you don't already have an umbrella stroller, you could always buy one when you get there if you find you need it... a cheap one from BRU will be like $15!

@cascademom: LMW was not crazy about carseats at the time (but didn't HATE them) and she absolutely loved this thing. We put our 3 year old in it too and he loved it too. And if your LO hates carseats, I think it will be good to bring the one you have so at least it's a familiar carseat! And btw if you decide to check your carseat for either flight, you can just throw it in a bag and check it at the counter, or I think you can gate check them too. You just have to go to the baggage carousel after you land to pick it up.

Ok, we used that thing and it was fine. My son didn't sit Inth seat in it, but I used it for my backpack.

You have to separate the seat from the wheelie thing to fit it through the security scanner, otherwise it was nice to have.

@looch: @cascademom: @mrs. wagon: so this thing or just the strap? Or a backpack bag to keep the seat safe? We're traveling to Hawaii, going sans stroller (is this stupid?) and wearing her in our boba. Need the seat for the car in Hawaii and in the off chance there is an open seat on the plane. Haven't plane traveled with a toddler and logistics are making me crazy.

@birdofafeather: I used the bag when I gate checked. The bag (JJCole) got torn, and TSA put a red sharpie on the seat for some/no reason. Next time I bought a seat for LO and stashed the gogo babyz in the overhead. (I will say I used the bag 3 times before that without problem, though we managed to get an empty seat each time.)

We have one of these for our Britax and we plan on using it next month. We won't bring a stroller but she is also 2 so can walk pretty well.

I'm so glad to hear that this got great reviews, traveling with it next month!
