Fun in the Sun #21: Go-Go Babyz Infant Cruizer Travel-All Review & Giveaway

Summer is a time that many of us find ourselves out and about a lot more. During the winter months we often feel cooped up, but once nice weather hits...we are running errands, going on family trips and simply enjoying being on the go as a family. It's great...but not always the easiest with little ones, especially for those with an infant.

For those first few months after our kids are born, we always find ourselves carrying around the infant carseat because that's where they always seemed the most comfortable. Either we didn't want to wake a sleeping baby, or it was just easier than getting out the stroller. The problem is...there are times when lugging around a big stroller to set the carrier on isn't the most convenient, and carrying the infant seat itself can be quite exhausting! Thankfully, I have come across a great product from GoGo Babyz that will come in very handy when baby #3 arrives.

A family oriented company, Go-Go Babyz develops innovative, safe and quality products that make life easier for parents who are on the go with their baby. With a mission to bring products that are unique and provide solutions to everyday difficulties faced by busy parents on the go, it's no wonder more and more people are turning to them. Whether you're traveling across the world or to your local grocery store...Go-Go Babyz has a great selection of products that can help make life a little easier.

With summer here, there are many parents on the go with their little ones. Having products that make it easier is always appreciated...especially when the focus is on safety, quality and convenience. When I learned we were going to have the opportunity to review the Go-Go Babyz Infant Cruizer AT I couldn't have been happier and was excited to share our thoughts about it.

Features/Benefits:

• 12" wheels provide smooth ride on various surfaces
• Safe click-n-lock base

• Certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturer's Association (JPMA)
  

When the Infant Cruizer AT arrived, I was really looking forward to checking it out.

As I pulled it out of the box, I will admit that I couldn't help but wonder how difficult it might be to put together. Thankfully, there were very helpful instructions included (with pictures) which made it a piece of cake. After attaching the handle, tires and infant car seat adapter it was ready to go. It took just minutes to assemble which is great!

Once I saw it put together, my first impression was "wow, look at the quality"! I was really amazed with how sturdy and durable the Infant Cruizer is, especially since it's so lightweight at just 12 lbs! Safety is a must when it comes to baby gear, so this is something I really appreciate.

The size is also something I am really happy with. It's small enough that I know we'll be able to easily maneuver it around wherever we go, but wide enough that I have peace knowing it's stable and isn't going to tip.

The 12" wheels caught my eye right away. They're large enough to provide a smooth ride on pretty much an surface. In fact, its tilt back capability makes it easy to maneuver even on steps and curbs! How impressive is that?! I also love that they are long lasting airless all terrain tires that will never go flat, which means it's one less thing I need to worry about maintaining. Yay!

Like a stroller, there's a rear break between the two tires. It's large enough to easily push it down with your foot. In the locked position the wheels don't go anywhere, giving parents peace of mind that their little one is safe. It's especially perfect when putting the car seat on and taking it off.

Just from reading about it online, I knew there was a handle. But had no idea how great it would be! It is a 5 position handle which adjusts to 26"h, 36"h, 39"h, 42"h, & 46". It seriously gets short enough for even Kaelyn to easily push around, and tall enough for my husband at 6'3" to comfortably push as well. It's perfect! I really love that this was considered in the design...especially since my husband and I are such different heights.

Many of the parts included in the box were actually included car seat adapters so parents can find the right one for their car seat. Although we currently have a car seat that is not compatible, I screwed on the Britax adapters, as it is our hope to get one of their infant seats at some point for baby #3. The adapters simply screw on and even have "right" and "left" printed on the bottoms so the user knows exactly where and how they are to be attached.


Currently the Go-Go Babyz Infant Cruizer AT is only compatible with the following seats, however, their website does say that they will be releasing more adapters as they go to ensure compatibility with as many infant seats as possible. I think this is wonderful! The ones that are included right now are:

• Graco SnugRide
• Graco Safe Seat
• Teutone t-tario 32
• Combi Centre DX
• Combi Shuttle
• Peg Perego Primo Viaggio
• Britax Companion
• Chicco Keyfit

Using the infant seat adapters, the Infant Cruizer AT is designed for children from 3 months to 30 lbs. However, what's great is, once your child reaches that weight, there's actually a toddler adapter that is sold separately which is designed for children up to 45 lbs! I love that it grows with a child and can be used for many years.

When not in use, or taking on the go...the Infant Cruizer is compact and can easily be folded to a convenient 26"l x 20"w x 12"h size. I was really impressed with how slim it actually is when closed and know it would easily fit in the back of our SUV, leaving us more space than hauling one of our strollers. It not only folds down to a great size, but it is very easy to do one handed. Simply put down the handle, lock into place and carry where you need it to go. It's really that easy!

Overall I'm really impressed with The Infant Cruizer! It seems to be very maneuverable and convenient for parents when at restaurants, the store, doctor's offices, trains, and more! There's really no need to pull out the big stroller or carry the infant seat when there's such a great product like this to make it so easy for quick errands. It's perfect for the parent on the go. I do wish that it had an adapter for my Safety 1st infant car seat, but am hoping at some point they will have one so we can easily use it with baby #3 when he/she arrives if we don't get a Britax before that. I would definitely recommend visiting Go-Go Babyz to learn more. Here's a great demonstration video from the Go-Go Babyz website...
