NCDR - Car seats & luggage straps.

We'll be taking a long trip soon, and need to have our car seat when we arrive.  I know that checking the car seat is a big no-no, so we'll be taking the seat with us through the airports and on the planes.

We'd rather not buy a cart or trolley to schlep his heavy car seat through the airport, and are planning on strapping the seat to one of those wheeled carry-on bags.

***We will NOT be having our child riding in the car seat while it's attached to the wheelie-bag, we just need a way to get the seat through the airport.***

We're looking at the "Traveling Toddler" the "Go-Go Babyz Travelmate" and a third option which just uses a couple of steel rings from the hardware store and utilizes the LATCH system to secure the seat to the carry-on.

Has anyone used any of these options or have any advice?

Thanks in advance

I have no advice since we just carried ours, but this made me LLOL. You know this board too well.

What car seat do you have? Some things work better with certain seats....

(and YAY for baby having his own seat! LOVE that!)

That is it exactly LMAO!

We have a Britax Marathon.

I'm tempted to try the hardware store rings ($2) and then buy the straps only if the cheap option doesn't work.

Maybe a few bungee cords? Or a cargo bungee net if you can find one the rigt size.
