Whether flying on an airplane or traveling by train or bus, it is safest and most comfortable for your child to be in a car seat. But traveling with a young child, their seat, and your carry-on can be tricky. Not anymore. The Traveling Toddler strap allows you to attach your LATCH and top tether equipped toddler's car seat to a rolling carry-on suitcase. Simply attach the LATCH and top tether straps from the car seat to the Traveling Toddler and adjust the straps so that the car seat is held securely on the suitcase. Once adjusted, the car seat can be detached and reattached to the suitcase in seconds. Lift the handle of your carry-on bag and you have a fun new stroller.
Now there's an easy and inexpensive way to take your toddler's car seat and other gear on your trip. You do not have to buy a special seat or suitcase. As long as your suitcase handle locks in place, you can push it like a stroller. Your hands are free for check in and its simple to unhook for security. Keep your child safe and comfortable in their own seat instead of squirming around in a seat made for an adult, or worse, squirming around on your lap.
The Traveling Toddler has been tested with most major car seat brands including Graco, Eddie Bauer, Cosco, Evenflo, and Britax, and a variety of carry-on suitcases and has worked with every combination. It is important that the telescoping handle of your suitcase locks in place. If not, it might not stay extended when you try to push your child in front of you, though you would still be able to pull them. If flying, make sure that your car seat is FAA approved before traveling.
The Traveling Toddler strap is made from heavyweight polypropylene webbing that will withstand 900 lbs of force. When not in use it easily slips in the pocket of your carry-on. As with any other wheeled child carrier, do not use the Traveling Toddler on stairs or escalators.

Ummm...it's okay.:
This would be great if it were easier to attach/detach from your luggage. It really sucked going through security. You have to take it off, put it back on. Then it won't fit down the aisle of the plane So then you have to take it off again. It was kind of a pain in the ....! You definitely need a carry on with a locking handle. In my personal opinion It's too over priced for what you get out of it! Notice in the picture the guy isn't smiling. That'll be you!
Mom of twins - LOVE IT:
No way was I going to pay $70 or more for the traveling car seats. Not when I would have to buy 2. Love this. Easy to use. Convenient and inexpensive. Couple of hints:
1.Pack your carry-ons very full. It doesn't adjust (but would be PERFECT and 5 stars if it did) as it depends on your car seat straps for adjustments. You may need to overstuff your carry ons to get it to fit snug. Favorite pillows, blankies, lovies work well.
2. Make sure it is very tight. If it sags, it can drag the carseat on... more info
Excellent Product!:
I used this for a trip cross country and it worked great! It is a little bit of a hassle attaching the car seat and detaching it numerous times...but way easier than trying to carry a car seat and a baby! I definitely recommend it. A little pricey for what it actually is...but totally worth it. My son is 18 months and 27 lbs- no issue pushing him around...he loved it and wanted to sit in his seat and be pushed! When getting on flights, most flight attendants didn't realize that it wasn't an actual stroller!
Wonderful:
This product worked very well for our trip. It was very easy to hook or unhook the car seat from my travel bag. A great option than rather buying the more pricey travel car seats. I will definitely be using this product again.
