Has anyone compared this to the Gogo Babyz car seat luggage strap? Funds are tight and just want cheapest best way to lug a Cosco Scenera on trip

I've only used the Traveling Toddler, but I can tell you it worked great with the Scenera. Looking at the designs of the Gogo Babyz, I think the TT is more secure b/c it hooks in three places -- the two side LATCH clips and the top one. It looks like the Gogo Babyz just clips to the top and then wraps around the suitcase?

It didn't work for us. We have a Britax and wanted to use a hard suitcase. The car seat was too big (or the suitcase too small) so it just wasn't feasible. My suggestion would be to check your car seat with your other baggage and gate check your stroller (free).

From photos only, they appear to be made in about the same way. Traveling Toddler a few bucks cheaper for no apparent reason except it's black not orange.

I have the performance and love it. The straps are longer (waste & arms) and thinner material so it's good for hot climates. I'd definitely stick with Ergo over any brand and often see moms hauling their 3 year old kids around in it so it's worth the investment.

It didn't work for my 26 pound two year old, honestly they are safer to use an actual car seat or have the child sot in your lap. They sell straps that can attach a car seat to a rolling carry on that make them into a stroller that work great. My suggestion is to get one of those.

We are using this with Graco. Also. looks very harmless as a small piece of cover. Doesn't seem to be interfering with the carseat mechanism.

There are no buckles or other means to remove the strap. When it hangs on my shoulder it is down to my waist. I still have more room to let it out. In other words it is one piece construction. But I don't see why any 2" luggage strap wouldn't work. Just cut the old one off and install the one you want. Good Luck.

I bought it to use with my Cosco Comfy Carry Elite. It does not lock into place, like it does on the base in the car. I have to use the straps. Somewhere in the product detail information I saw a list of the different seats and how they work with it. Mine specifically said it does not latch. Check the info for yours and see what it says. If it doesn't say, you can assume it needs the straps.One thing you might want to know is that the dual front wheels swivel freely and make it hard to steer. Also, anything you put in the basket underneath you cannot get to without lifting the car seat off. It still is useful to me, I just have to live with the limitations.

Will do! :) How funny. I am now actually looking at the Graco Quattro Tour Duo for my first primary stroller, just because it's cheaper and comes with cupholders, carseat attachments, etc. I looked at the Duoglider in the store and it was horrible, but the Quattro has better reviews and supposedly folds down 20% smaller. Looking at the measurements, it SHOULD fit... never know though. I'm going to try that one out this week. The boutique I went to to look at the City Mini actually had the Quattro Duo in stock but I just totally didn't even look at it, ha.

Hello Rick. I don't even use the straps. If you intend to keep the airhawk on your seat all the time then by all means, use the strap, but it's a pain to take it off and put it on in case you don't want it stolen or for it to get wet or hot. The airhawk has loops on all corners for the straps and they seem to be sewed in well and gets secured very well on the seat. I just put the airhawk on my seat and adjust it to a position I like and just sit on it. In fact, its advantageous simply because you can readjust it even on the go. It does not slide. The bottom part has a non skid material and my corbin seat is not as slick as the factory seat. I carry mine sometimes in restaurants or just stick it in my saddle bag. I don't ride without the airhawk anymore. I've taken several weekend and week long trips up to 3k miles and realized how much it helped me. If you ride long trips, you will feel a significant difference. I use it 90% of the time. I will get on my corbin occasionally just to change butt pressure. As to how to air it, I would suggest for you to go to youtube. Theres a great instructional video there. I followed it and every now and then I would blow in a bit more air or let out some just to change my seating pressure and ride a few more hundred miles. As to the height adjustment, it was noticeable for the first few hundred miles, but after a few months, I adapted to it. Being higher seemed to put a bit more strain on my midback, that's when I take it off 10% of the ride including doing a few more stretches of my midback. I don't think you'd regret getting it and probably will endorse it as well. Good luck. Gene (vonlushka@hotmail.com)

The S4. The one with the red balls and the straps. Works GREAT! I too have the navigator and the chicco keyfit 30. I tried all the other travel systems and finally got it right with the S4.

I highly recommend also buying the Graco SnugRider Elite Car Seat Carrier for use in stores. I got mine for $60 on an Amazon warehouse deal and it was a great investment.

Wear it backpackstyle. I sorely miss my son's Radian for how easy it was to travel with it. I'm a single mom who travels a lot with er son, and the advantages far outweigh the actual weight. Wearing he seat backpackstyle still left me with arms free for luggage and worst case, carrying my child

The latch is hard plastic that has a strap that is adjustable. I would compare it to a latch found on backpack waist band. The only part that has vecro is the short and slender strap to hold the leappad in the case at the top. I am able to fit it over the two bars on my passenger side headrest and tighten as needed to keep it in place. I don't see why it would not fit on a stoller or shopping cart that has spaced apart bars. Hope that helps. We have really been enjoying using our. Well worth the small amount we paid for it.

Yeah, I brought it with me to/from Korea & China and it fit just fine. I kept it under the seat of the person in front of me, not in the top compartment. However I'd be wary of how much you're loading the bag with. I was carrying about 30lbs of clothing & camera equipment and the strap ripped after about two months of continual usage. For a $60 bag it's great, but even though it looks like a $300 bag, don't expect the same level of quality. Hope this helps!

I have a 19month old and a 5wks old. I carry skiphop grand central which accomodates almost everything. It's quite roomy. I will not go for a bigger bag than this. I don't know about the other bag which you have mentioned.

we have the city mini gt. it fits, but you have to take the two back wheels off. not a big deal- they snap on and off pretty easily and then stroller just slides in. tossed wheels in the seat area of stroller, pretty protected. bag is big/long for the stroller, so there is room to add other stuff- coats and such- before tying it up. we used this for one trip (2 flights) and it got pretty beat up. ripped in a few places. i think all of these types of bags last for about a trip or two. but its better for the bag to get beat up instead of the stroller!

I'm not 100 % sure but I have a safety first carseat that fits great. safety first, cosco and Eddie Bauer all have the same parent company so those three seats will work. Good luck, hope this helps.

I have the Alpha Omega from Costco and agree with what Keri said. The carseat does fit in the seat, but you'll definitely want to remove the cup holder, raise the arms, and maybe buy the person in the seat in front of your little one a drink, because they'll be getting kicked the entire flight.
