Great Car Seat Travel Bags & Carriers

Car Seat Alternatives   Car Seat Accessories    Convertible Car Seats    Best Travel Car Seats

 

These innovative carriers help you get your child's car seat to the gate with ease, while the travel bags help ensure it's protected as you travel. A few clever products will even do both. See details below.

 

GoGo Kidz Universal TravelMate

Why Shelly recommends it:

Roll your car seat--and even your child strapped into it--through the terminal with ease (and possibly right down the aisle of some large aircraft). The new Universal Travelmate is compatible with MANY different car seats (including Britax, Eddie Bauer, Evenflo, Graco, and Safety 1st). Adjust the telescoping handle to 47.5" or 50.5" when pushing, and keep your cart attached during your flight (but not during trips in the car). Attaches and detaches quickly and easily with two knobs. Wide-set 5" rollerblade wheels provide stability, while the entire cart accommodates the max. weight allowed for your car seat. It weighs a mere 5 lbs. and folds up flat to 5" x 16" x 28". onvertible, toddler, and extended use car seats from Britax, Eddie Bauer, Evenflo, Graco, and Safety 1st, to name a few. Click link above for more information on specific models. (A GoGo Kidz car seat cover is now available too, which works with the TravelMate.)

The Traveling Toddler Car Seat Solution

Why Shelly recommends it:

It's so simple, it's so affordable, it's so smart. We were delighted to discover this great new product that secures your child's convertible or toddler car seat right to your rolling suitcase using the LATCH and tether straps--with your child secured in her seat! So long as your suitcase handle locks in place, you can push your child right up to the gate (and if not, you can roll her behind you). We found it works well with both medium-size suitcases down to our smallest rolling carry-on bag--though with small carry-on suitcases, you will be happiest with those that have a higher handle height (some tend to be on the shorter side). It's been tested and proven to work with major brand car seats including Graco, Eddie Bauer, Cosco, Evenflo, and Britax (and probably any toddler car seat that has LATCH and tether straps). It's rated to support up to 900 lbs., so your car seat + child should be no problem. When not in use, you can fit it in your pocket--now that's traveling light.

Brica Car Seat Carry & Roll Tote

Why Shelly recommends it:

Get three in one: 1) Wear it on your back as you wheel other luggage to check in. 2) Roll it through the airport to your gate either for gate-checking or use on the aircraft. 3) Turn this carry case inside out and it becomes a fitted protector for your child's car seat, keeping it up to 40% cooler and preventing the sun from fading its cover. You may also be able to "piggy back" this carrying case onto your large rolling suitcase by attaching the carrying handle with a luggage strap. 19" x 19" x 37"H.

J.L. Childress Ultimate Car Seat and Booster Carrier Case

Why Shelly recommends it:

Two birds with one bag: This padded car seat/booster seat carrying case not only protects your car seat when checked, but it's is also made to be worn as a backpack--leaving your hands free to roll suitcases, push a stroller, or present boarding passes and I.D. It's also useful when you aren't sure if your lap child will get an extra seat on the flight--just wear it to your gate and check it at the jetway if you must. Fits most major car and booster seats, including Peg Perego, Cosco, Evenflo, Century, Baby Trend, and all Britax car seats except for the Husky and Regent (confirm dimensions of all "extra-large" car seats). 33" x 18" x 19".
