We love traveling with Baby P. I love to explore new cities and watch as he takes it all in. Outside of NYC however, public transit isn’t always a reasonable option and we have to take an Uber or taxi. I refuse to compromise safety for convenience and found the luggage strap car seat hack online.
Lugging a toddler sized car seat isn’t easy. Even with a light weight one. We have the Cosco Scenera Next. It’s light weight and no frills but has a high safety rating. As we don’t have a car in NYC we needed something for occasional use. Over the summer I was meeting a friend in Brooklyn to go to the beach. I wanted to have the car seat to travel in her car but didn’t want to pay a fortune on the Uber to her apartment. So I began Googling hacks and found this luggage strap one. Over summer I used the Yo-yo BabyZen stroller and just recently over Christmas holidays I used the Colugo. Both worked well with this hack.
To Do:
Place car seat in fully upright stroller seat with the back of the car seat against the back of the stroller seat. Loop a luggage strap through the upper belt path of the car seat and around the stroller frame. I like to loop it between the frame and seat fabric to ensure maximum security and stability. Loop as many times as it will go and then tighten the strap securely. Et Voila! You’re ready to go on your adventure.
