We have used the regular Go-Go Babyz travelmate numerous times to schlepp an FAA-compliant seat through airports. It's a great tool, and a must-have if you want your small child to ride in the car seat (cheaper tools could drag a car seat through an airport, but not provide a sturdy ride-on seat). However, the original did not work with our Frontier 90, so I crossed my fingers and bought this for an international flight with one of those connections where you need to pick up all of your baggage and bring it back through customs. First, the bad news: it did not work with the Frontier 90, although it claims to work with Frontiers on its list of compatible seats. It did pull it around, but it did not attach correctly and strongly enough for a child to sit in it because the position of the bars was incompatible with the seat. It was not a fun situation, because it also did not pull the seat very well even without the 3 year old in it.Now the good news: If I were to buy one of these, I would start here. This one is stronger, smaller, and better designed than the original. You can read my review on the original, but the short of it is that it is a really great tool with a few small annoying parts. Those include a ratcheting mechanism that is a bit sticky to release and a tendency to fall over. No big deal, but the extra time is slightly annoying going through security. This newer, smaller version has resolved these issues. Plus, you can hook your anchor to the bottom metal bar for added stability. I am sure I would have loved this with the convertible car seat, and just wish it had fit the toddler. Now I need to decide whether or not to leave the car seat at home on flights and get (gulp!) a regular, backless booster seat for times we travel.

This carrier was easy to use, worked well with our car seat & made trekking all over the airport & city much easier.Honest reviews on Go-Go Babyz Mini Travelmate
I love this product. I am a huge fan of GoGo Babyz and the Mini Travelmate doesn't disappoint. I have used the original and this one is just as easy and convenient and I love the smaller compact design. I am not sure how to improve on such a great product as the Travelmate but the Mini definitely delivers and comes FULLY ASSEMBLED. It uses the same quick release strap so it can be attached and removed from your car seat in seconds.Definitely a must have for families traveling with kids. I highly recommend.
