Spinoff from my post-have a question

Do you use your carseat on the airplane? Matteo's 2 1/2 and we were going to use it. He likes being in the car and doesn't mind the carseat so figured it may make for a smoother plane ride (HOPEFULLY)

Re: Spinoff from my post-have a question

We will be.

We did last year too

Re: Spinoff from my post-have a question

We never have.

Last summer when we went away, DS was 15 months, we didn't buy him a seat, but he got one each way. We checked our carseat in a laundry bag that said our last name across it. He sat nice in the seat and watched a DVD.

I am taking him to Italy and I plan on doing the same thing.

Re: Spinoff from my post-have a question

We are going to use it for his first plane ride when he is 18 months. We decided to buy him a ticket because we were nervous he wouldn't get a seat and there is no way he'd sit on our laps. And, we have to rent a car as soon as we land, so we want the carseat.

Re: Spinoff from my post-have a question

Since the carseat is the safest way for DC to travel on a plane, we've always used their carseat, and purchased their own tickets. Even last year, when DS was 4, we still had him in a carseat.

When DC were flying under 2yo, we also bought them a seat, since we didn't want to risk them sitting on our laps. It's too dangerous.

Re: Spinoff from my post-have a question

Since we usually end up renting a car on our trips, we bring their carseats along...... Haven't been on a trip in some time, but we are flying in both March and again in May, so these are good points for me to think about.

Re: Spinoff from my post-have a question

We do. Carlie laso doens't mind her carseat. I feellike it keeps her contained and is someting familiar. She LOVES flying!
