Best car seat for travelling?
My DD will be 10 months when we fly transatlantic and I really don't want to bring her infant car seat if I can help it (it's a Peg Perego and soooooo heavy). Is there a good rear-facing convertible car seat that is light but safe? I might end up using it also for our babysitter's car.
Also, do you think I can get away with using a Maclaren stroller at that age or should I bring her regular stroller - the Peg Perego Pliko?

You can get away with using a Maclaren.
The Cosco Scenera is affordable and lightweight.

Re: Best car seat for travelling?
Where are you going?
Honestly, we bought the $40 Cosco Scenera carseat from Walmart (it is very highly safety rated, but it's a no frills seat). It's very light to carry for traveling and my DS was perfectly fine in it. We took it to Disney with us - I used it in the cabs to and from the airport, on the plane, and in our car rental in Florida. I practiced how to secure it in the car on our own car before we went on vacation so that I could do it quickly and easily for the cabs etc.
I traveled again with it when he was about 19 months old and same thing - easy peasy. It's now our backup/travel seat.

Also, we brought our regular stroller (City Mini) and were so happy we did.

We're going to Ireland and now it looks like my teenage niece is coming with us so I want to travel as light as possible so I can keep an eye on everyone. 
It sounds like this Cosco Scenera car seat is the one to get. I will be happier bringing the Maclaren stroller too cause I have a rain cover for that and I know I will definitely need a rain cover for this trip!
