Vroom to manoeuvre
The gogo Kidz Travelmate is a great device for parents who need to carry a car seat on their travels.

Take a back seat
Packing light is an alien concept to family travel. But for those heading to places where there are laws for child car seats, the BoostApak eliminates the need to haul a bulky booster across continents. Doubling as a backpack, it has plenty of room to keep in-flight entertainment and spare clothes. The backpack opens up into a booster seat with seat belt, and a hard plastic internal shell acts as the booster while protecting the items underneath. It's hand luggage-approved and available in green and pink. HK$499 at Nobletime, shop 239, Level 2, The Westwood, 8 Belcher's St, Western District, tel: 2382 8065
