Welcome To Travel Car Seats

Hello, my name is Joshua. I like to travel a lot with my mommy and daddy. They tried many different travel car seats to make me feel comfortable on the move. Mommy said that my feedback was so valuable that she decided to start a Blog recommending the best Travel Car Seats and baby travel systems that I tested. Enjoy!

Are you getting ready to travel with your baby? If so, you may be shocked and surprised how such a little creature can require… so much stuff! Even just a weekend away to visit grandma and grandpa can fill up a car, what with all the supplies, the portable crib, the monitors. And what if you are traveling by plane? Then the circus really begins! You’re probably on this page because you are looking for a car seat to take with you or some other solution fro traveling with your baby. Well, you have several options as you consider Travel Car Seats. You can check selected products below or browse our Amazon-powered Baby Travel Systems Store.

The GoGo Kidz Travelmate attaches to your car seat and makes it into a rolling stroller. Your child can sit in the seat as you go! With some bungee cord and a little creativity you can probably rig the Travelmate up to carry more than one car seat (but no child). Note that the Travelmate must be removed before the car seat is installed in a car.
		The RideSafer Travel Vest is a unique car “seat” for booster seat aged kids (it fits kids approx 3-9 years old). Instead of a heavy seat, kids wear a supportive vest which then gets buckled into the car. The vest is lightweight and compact (perfect for stowing in a suitcase) and works with both latch and shoulder harness seatbelts. The vest is not approved for use on airplanes. This would be a great choice for parents who carpool or for use in a second car or for travel with an older child who does not need a car seat on the airplane. The RideSafer it’s only approved for use in the US (like most car seats available in this country), and it seems like an especially great choice for parents visiting developing countries who want a child restraint, but cannot carry a whole car seat.
The Radian Car Seat is intended to be a primary car seat that also travels well. It is narrower than most car seats (making it a popular choice for three across installations) The Radian also folds flat for travel, and the company sells a special carry bag (or shoulder strap) for travel. I have also seen parents strap this car seat onto the back of a stroller (possible because of the flat-fold). There are two models, one that accommodates birth to 60 pounds, and another that accommodates children up to 80 pounds. This is a good choice if you want your daily use car seat to double as a travel car seat.
		The Safeguard Go Hybrid Booster seat is designed to be very portable, and folds up to store in its own bag. The seat can be used forward facing only and fits children up to 60 pounds. After 60 pounds, it converts to a backless booster for use by children up to 100 pounds. Because this seat requires latch, it cannot be used on an airplane. It would be a great choice for trip where you’re not traveling by plane (for example if you are moving around by train) and need a safe car seat for a rental car. It would also be a good choice for a child who is old enough for a booster (and therefore does not need a child-restraint on the plane) but for whom you prefer to use a 5 point harness on the roads. At home it could be used as a primary car seat and would be great for carpools or a second car.
The Traveling Toddler is a set of straps that let you attach one car seat to a rolling suitcase. Your child can sit in the car seat as if it were a stroller. Because this product is a set of straps, it is easy to store when not in use. Make sure that your rolling suitcase is sturdy and in good condition as hauling around the seat and the toddler will definitely put some strain on the handle and frame.
		The Lilly Gold Sit ‘N’ Stroll 5 in 1 Car Seat & Stroller Combination is probably the most popular travel car seat option. It is essentially a car seat with a built in handle and wheels so that you can also use it as a stroller. It is approved for use on airplanes, and on some planes, you’ll be able to wheel it right down the aisle. The Sit ‘n’ Stroll is a great option if you need to get in and out of cabs a lot at your destination. It’s a bit less great if you will have a rental car at your destination because you need to re-install the seat each time you put the child in it, but still workable. The stroller feature is good for airports and city streets, but not designed for rougher terrain. The Sit ‘n’ Stroll fits newborns (and can be installed rear facing) up to 40 pounds.
