General instructions for attaching the gogo Kidz®
Travelmate to your car seat.
General Attaching
Information
PLEASE SEE ASSEMBLY AND ATTACHING GUIDE FOR
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCIONS
Most car seats have two ribs that go from top to bottom on the back
of the car seat with a space between them. The handle area on
the back of the gogo Kidz plate goes between the ribs in the space
with the smooth, front side of the plate facing out.
Align the two support tabs on the bottom of the gogo Kidz plate at
the bottom of the ribs to help support the car seat.
Arrows pointing to car seat ribs
Lay the gogo Kidz plate on the back of the car seat. The wheels
should be able to rotate freely.
Use appropriate attachment (i.e. short or long strap, retainer bar or
j-bolts) and fasten to the plate and car seat.
NOTE: Some car seats do not have these two long ribs in the back. For
these types of seats, the support tabs on the bottom of the gogo Kidz
should be located underneath the base itself.
NOTE: You may be required to move the bar on the back that adjusts
shoulder straps to allow the handle to sit properly.
Arrows pointing to support tabs
NOTE: The seat recline angle may have to be adjusted to make room for
the support tabs or the wheels on some seats.
Attach the tether strap to the handle of the gogo Kidz plate to
ensure the gogo Kidz is secure.
RECOMMENDED CAR SEATS
Attaching the tether clip to the
gogo Kidz
The gogo Kidz® Travelmate will accommodate most convertible
and toddler car seats. Please refer to the list of recommended car
seats, located on the back page, to ensure a safe fit. Go-Go Babyz
is continually testing new seats with the gogo Kidz and will update
our web site frequently whenever we discover a new match or to
confirm which seats will not fit with the gogo Kidz. If you do not see
your car seat listed on the product box or manual, please check our
web site to see if we have had to opportunity to test it with the gogo
Kidz.

Instructions below are for attaching to Non-Britax / Fisher Attaching to Non-
Price Car Seats.
Britax Car Seats
You will use two thumbscrews, the short strap with two
cleats attached by two o-rings and the tether strap from
the car seat.
1. Place the seat face down on the floor.
2. Align the plate.
Align the two support tabs on the back side of the gogo Kidz plate to the
bottom of the car seat and lay the gogo Kidz plate on the back of the car
seat. (Please refer to general information if you are having difficulty)
3. Attach the strap.
Begin by securing the end of the strap that has only one grommet to either
the left or right side of the gogo Kidz plate. Insert a thumbscrew into the
highest hole possible on the plate and thread the thumbscrew into the
cleat. The strap should be in between the plate and the cleat. Leave the
strap loose because you will tighten it later. Make sure the strap is not
twisted. Once one side is attached, thread the strap through the seat belt
opening of the car seat.
Make sure tabs align with ribs
at the bottom of the car seat.
Use opening if available
NOTE: The cleat can be relocated if necessary to fit the needs of your
particular car seat. To change the location of the cleat, remove the o-ring
that attaches the cleat to the strap. Place the cleat over the proper hole
and replace the o-ring.
6. Attach the other side of the strap.
Insert the thumbscrew into the other side of the plate, at the same height
as the first side. Begin threading thumbscrew into the cleat. Retighten the
first thumbscrew until it is almost flush with the plate Then retighten the
second thumbscrew again.
7. Test the connection.
Adjusting the cleat on the strap
Once the strap is tightened, lift the car seat and gogo Kidz into the upright
position and test the connection by pulling on the handle and moving the

of the gogo Kidz plate (as shown on the general information page).

bottom of the car seat and lay the gogo Kidz plate on the back of

Insert the thumbscrews into the two holes located in the center of

Does the gogo Kidz® Travelmate fit down the aisle of an
airplane? Can I leave it attached on an airplane? Any
suggestions about the car seat and the airplanes?
Commercial
Airlines, car seats
and the gogo
Kidz® Travelmate
Going Through Security
Some x-ray machines at the airport may be smaller and your car seat with
the gogo Kidz Travelmate attached may not fit through the machine. We
suggest asking the Security Personnel to "hand wand" your car seat with
the gogo Kidz attached just like a stroller. Model UNIQR has quick release
wheels so if needed you can remove the wheels to allow your car seat to fit
through the smaller machines.
Airplane Aisles
The gogo Kidz is 16 ½ inches wide and fits down the aisle of most
commercial airplanes. However, many car seats are wider and they may
not fit down the aisle of the coach section. A practical approach is to have
your child out of the seat and expect to carry the seat to your assigned
seat, once you reach the coach section. The handle on the gogo kidz
makes this easier to do than carrying the car seat by itself.
Airplane Seats
There are dozens of car seat manufacturers with multiple models of car
seats. THE GOGO KIDZ® TRAVELMATE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED
IN COMBINATION WITH THE CAR SEATS IN ANY CRASH TESTING
PROGRAM. Remove the gogo Kidz and either stow it in the overhead bin
or “gate check it.” Fortunately, the gogo Kidz is very easy to put on and
take off. Only one thumbscrew needs to be removed for the strap version
and two thumbscrews for the Britax®, Fisher-Price® and Recaro® seats.
Note: We recommend you remove the strap and keep it with you if you
check the gogo Kidz® Travelmate at the gate.
There have been reports of the aircraft seat belt buckle being stuck behind
car seats, creating a removal problem at destination. You may wish to ask
the flight attendant for a seat belt extender to eliminate the potential for this
problem.
Other Airplane Information
and links that offer some very good general information about traveling
with children on airplanes, safety issues and other practical suggestions.
We recommend you take the time to review this information.
