Traveling Toddler Car Seat Travel Accessory Reviews

Best Money I Spent!

This product is outstanding! We used it to take our 2 year old and his car seat across the country and it worked like a charm. It even allowed us to take our son off an airplane and through an airport sound asleep! He enjoyed his “stroller” and would ask to ride in it as soon as it was hooked up. It was a breeze to hook together and was an easy matter to take apart and reattach for security checks. It is important to note that it only works with a latch system car seat. Ours is an older Britax Roundabout and it worked perfectly. We were asked several times by airport personnel, other mothers and random people where we got the product. Over six years and several trips with our children, we’ve tried a car seat bag (the strap broke) and a back-pack strap thing (then we still had to carry our child or a stroller) and both were outrageously expensive and very disappointing. This inexpensive product is a true find and I intend to tell every parent I know traveling with a car seat all about it!     Read more...

Baby Car Seats Safety Tips # 2

Older than age 1 and more than 20 pounds:

• Use a forward-facing car seat correctly in a back seat every time your toddler rides in a car.
• Use the right car seat with a harness for your toddler’s weight and height. Toddlers are weighed and measured at every doctor visit, so be sure to keep track.
• Use the car’s safety belt or LATCH system to lock the car seat into the car. Your car seat should not move more than one inch side to side or front to back. Grab the car seat at the safety beltpath or LATCH path to test it.
• Put harnesses through the slots so they are even with or above the child’s shoulders. Some seats require use of the top slots when the seat is forward-facing, so check instructions.
• Be sure the harness is tight, so you can’t pinch extra webbing at the shoulder.

According to our local consignment shops, they are not allowed to sell used bases anymore, so if you need an extra base for a Graco SnugRide Travel System, this is what you want to get.
