gogo Kidz: Wheel Your Kids Around Without the Stroller
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 09. 7.07
If strapping your kids into a car seat and wheeling them around instead of carrying them or making them walk sounds like your idea of fun, then have we got something for you. This thing, called "gogo Kidz", mates with a whole bunch of different toddler car seats to give them wheels and a handle, turning your kid's seat into a mobile unit handy for trucking around airports and maybe somewhere like the mall, instead of trucking along an extra stroller along with the car seat you need anyway.
It weighs about five pounds, making it pretty easy to haul around; as long as you don't mind hauling your kids around like luggage, you might be able to do without an extra stroller. If you're pondering going stroller-free (sort of like going car-free, in a way), you can pick these guys up at ::Baby Mine Store
From http://www.kk.org/cooltools/ comes these two alternatives for being stroller free:

failing to see how this particular product saves they planet
Big thumbs up for this product. It really simplified travelling with a little one. Two observations:
- With the wheels attached, it won't fit through xray machines. You'll need to take them off or have it scanned by hand.
- You'll probably want to take the wheels off if you're going to use the seat in an airplane seat. The wheels added too much depth and took away too much leg room.
I just don't understand what people have got against carrying their children. There are plenty of solutions such as papooses and, as they get older, backpacks. Much less hassle, much less stuff to cart around with you, and, most importantly, the parent-child bond is strongly reinforced if you are in contact with the child when you're out and about, rather than dragging or pushing him/her around in a cart.
