Do you ever let the kids pack their own bags before a vacation to let them feel a little more independent? My kids will fill an entire suitcase with mostly nonsense but the conversations that ensue are hilarious. “You’ve got coloring books, six stuffed animals, and a ball, but you forgot underwear. And were you planning to wear nothing but this t-shirt everywhere?” We’re still working on teaching them to pack the essentials but we usually let them back a small fun bag.
Since I have five kids, that’s five extra bags of stuff. If you’ve got ample room on a road trip, that might work. For our upcoming Orlando vacation via airplane, it really won’t. Most airlines charge a fee for your bags and that adds up. What about consolidating that travel bag with something you actually need, like a car seat? I’m really mom-xcited (excited about mom stuff, like robots that clean your house and gear that makes your job easier, you know?) to share The Grommet CarGo Seat 2-in-1 Travel Booster seat with you all!
When I finally got my husband on board to fly to Orlando rather than make the 18-hour trek by car, my first question was how to ensure we had car seats for the rental. Many rental cars charge an additional price daily for each car seat and you can’t be too sure of their safety status so it would benefit you to be able to bring your own car seat. This is where The Grommet CarGo Seat 2-in-1 Travel Booster seat comes in. It’s a regular booster seat that weighs less than four pounds and has wheels, so you can travel with it!
My favorite part about the CarGo Seat is the internal storage. You can fill it with almost two pounds of necessary travel items. My little man was so happy to fill his with his favorite books and superheroes. I figured that it would be perfect for him to keep his activities with him while we’re in the airport awaiting our flight!
The Grommet CarGo 2 in 1 Travel Booster works just like any other booster seat. The child sits on the seat, buckles the seat belt, and there is a seat belt positioner that can be fastened to the handle at the bottom of the seat. When not in use as a car seat, the handle lifts out, the wheels are functional, and the seat opens out to reveal a storage section. It looks like a small rolling suitcase.
Now, The Grommet CarGo 2 in 1 Travel Booster is recommended for ages 3 to 10 and 40-80lbs but under 53″ in height. It’s also important to check your state law for the proper age and size for your child to be using a booster. My state requires a child to be 4 before using a booster but my kids are small so we do use five-point harnesses a little longer than required. We’ve tested it a few times with our older girls and it’s comfortable and sturdy!
My little man is excited to use his booster and graduate to big man when we go to Orlando next year! For now, it’s his little suit case for travel and he adores it. I think it makes him feel special to be responsible for something of his own, too. I absolutely love that the CarGo Seat fits in airplane overheads or under the seats and is approved as hand luggage. This will be my little man’s carry on to hold whatever he plans to do in the airport and on the plane, like an activity book or headphones. This seat is exactly what we were looking for as far as safe travel boosters and the storage space is a big bonus!
