Understand The Options Before You Choose
1. THE COMBO STROLLER/CAR SEAT Ok, so this isn't exactly a car seat carrier, but it serves the same purpose - it allows you to travel with a car seat. These car seats have retractable wheels and a handle to convert into a stroller. Pros: - Your child can sit in it as a stroller - Take one piece of equipment rather than a car seat and separate stroller Cons: - Expensive (approx $250) - Not hands-free - Not really suitable as the primary car seat and stroller so you have an additional piece of equipment to store when not in use - Used as a stroller it is very low-to-the-ground, with no storage area - No belts of its own so it uses the car or airplane belt which is not always a comfortable fit for the child *Our Take: You probably already have a car seat and a stroller your child likes. Don’t spend your money on an expensive combination stroller/car seat only to end up with a not-so-great stroller and a not-so-great car seat!
2. THE ROLL-ALONG This car seat carrier is simply a wheeled attachment that converts your car seat to a stroller. Some models are even more basic - just a strap that attaches your car seat to a rolling carry-on suitcase. Pros: - Inexpensive (approx $15-80) - Your child can sit in it as a makeshift stroller Cons: - Not hands-free - Does not fit through airport x-ray machines so you have to detach and reattach it - Needs to be detached and stored when aboard the plane - Used as a makeshift stroller it is very low-to-the-ground, with no storage area *Our Take: The price is right, but detaching and reattaching the car seat carrier at security and then again onboard is way too much of a hassle when traveling with kids.
3. THE BAG This is a large bag with shoulder straps. The bag is zipped up around the car seat and carried like a backpack. Pros: - Inexpensive (approx $40) - Hands-free Cons: - Uncomfortable. Bag style carriers sag and don't have hip belts to distribute the weight properly. - Airport security may require you to remove the car seat from the bag at the security check - The car seat needs to be removed from the bag once aboard the plane. - Has zippers and seams that eventually fail - Some models of car seats do not fit in the bag *Our Take: Being inexpensive and hands-free is great, but the uncomfortable fit and hassle of removing the car seat from the bag sinks this car seat carrier for us. Quality is a concern since we've received reports of failed zippers and nylon seams (not fun while trying to keep up with the kids).
Our Solution: The CargoSeat
The CargoSeat gives you an easy and worry-free way to take the car seat when traveling with kids. Our car seat carrier design allows you to comfortably carry your car seat as a backpack to keep your hands free for everything else you will need to take care of on your next trip with kids. THE FASTEST AND EASIEST SOLUTION - Two straps with quick-release buckles safely secure the car seat to the CargoSeat. Two snaps of the buckles and you are ready to go. - The CargoSeat can stay attached when you put the car seat through the security x-ray machine. Bulky wheels, handles or attachments are not needed, so no reasaon to worry about unattaching and reattaching anything while moving through security. - Once aboard the plane simply set the car seat in the airplane seat, unsnap the two quick release buckles and let the CargoSeat rest behind the car seat. No need to store it in the overhead bin and no need to hold up other passengers while removing the car seat from a bag or disconnecting it from a roll-along. MORE COMFORTABLE Backpackers know the weight needs to rest on the hips, not on the back and shoulders. That's why we've designed the CargoSeat with padded hip straps to keep the weight comfortably on the hips. Padded shoulder straps and a neoprene back area keep all the contact points comfortable.
