Flying with baby

I have a quick question about flying with a baby. If we get the baby his own seat, does the base of the carrier fit into the seat?

Also for those of you that did not get the baby their own seat and took the carrier with you, did you check it?

Re: Flying with baby

I believe it fits on a seat but I never did it so I'm not really sure. I didn't get the baby his own sit and yes, I checked it. I checked it at the gate though and I put it in a garbage bag (try to get see through though so they see what it is a maybe will handle it with a little more care ). I checked it at the gate b/c my brother often flies with his kids and if there are seats available they usually let them use one for the baby. There were no seats on my flight so I checked it at the gate.

yes the base fits in the seat. We used it in August when we flew to vegas, only problem was that the person in front of his chair couldnt push his chair back and started an arguement with me.

They can take the carrier at the door of the airplane. They put it under the plane & when you reach your destination you wait & they will bring it up to you. That's what we did.
