Anyone ever seen these?

These were recommended on another board as a safe way to get an under 3 child from the airport to the cruise port...has anyone seen any of these?

One is from China, I'm assuming not US approved.

I had the first one for a cruise trip we did. It was an unmitigated disaster. :thumbsdown: DS liked to arch his back then, and as soon as he did, he and the 'seat' ended up flat on their backs. I couldn't figure any way to install it securely. :shrug-shoulders:

The second one looks no better than attaching your child to the seat with cargo tie downs.

I remember the tote n go from years ago. I thought it looked awesome, but never did buy it. I've read here it's really hard (nearly impossible) to get it installed properly.

I had one of the Tote N Go seats. It was a great idea. It was nearly impossible to get installed correctly. I took it with my on a trip with my almost 2yo (free airfare). That was before I knew better. It took forever to get it installed tight and yes, as pp said, she sat down, arched her back, and the seat flipped right out from under her. I sat next to her to keep her from arching but I'd hate to think what would have happened if we'd been in an accident.

I actully played with mine one time and used a LATCH strap off another seat to install it. It was so much easier and went in so much tighter. I called the company and asked if that was okay. They said because there is no top tether, you cannot use LATCH.

I wouldn't waste my money on one.

In China, that's a HUGE step up from what most people use. Which is nothing.

Would the safety first go work in this case? Or in reality a scenera, while a bigger pain to haul, at least it's safe!
