You can use canActive in your routes, like so:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { CanActivate } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

@Injectable()
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {

  constructor(private auth: AuthService, private router: Router) {}

  canActivate() {
    // If user is not logged in we'll send them to the homepage 
    if (!this.auth.loggedIn()) {
      this.router.navigate(['']);
      return false;
    }
    return true;
  }

}

const appRoutes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '', redirectTo: '/deals', pathMatch: 'full'
  },
  {
    path: 'special',
    component: PrivateDealsComponent,
    /* We'll use the canActivate API and pass in our AuthGuard.
       Now any time the /special route is hit, the AuthGuard will run
       first to make sure the user is logged in before activating and
       loading this route. */
    canActivate: [AuthGuard]
  }
];
