Does it fit in a standard airline seat? It looks like it might be a bit wide (16.5 in. vs. recommended 16 in.). Thanks.

I don't know the answer to that questions because we do not use booster seats on airplanes. It is my understanding that booster seats are not approved for airline use because they are designed to work with shoulder straps, which are not present on airplanes. Added height is therefore not necessary,as only a lap belt is in use. We typically check our boosters (at no additional cost) and the kids are strapped in the seat belt like an adult.

Booster seats cannot be used onboard an aircraft. They are not FAA approved.

I fly frequently with mine. I would say its fits snug under most airline seats but always fits.

Wow, great question.. It might be too wide but then again, I carry mine around like a briefcase. Maybe order it and try it at the airport in that size thingie. If it doesn't fit, send it back. I like mine... Very sturdy.

You better check with United. I think they only allow certain dimensions. The extra large would probably be too big. Delta is the only airline I found who seemed flexible. They had one plane with a larger area under the seat in first class,but I am not sure with aircraft it was. It was like a 700 or 900. I never ended up using the carrier because it was for transporting a rescue dog (cairn terrier 14 lbs). The foster parents wanted to drive him. Good luck.

From what I have read it is. From experiance if your taking it as a carry on it needs to fit under your seat. I dont know what the guidlines are otherwise. But like I said it did say it was airline approved and that is why one of the reasons I got one just in case.

No it doesn't fit down isles, we recently traveled and tried it. I just folded it up before we got on the plane and put it in the car seat while carrying it on, luckily my toddler could walk to our seats.

I can tell you from experiance using this seat on an international flight it is great. I flew from Germany to Texas without a car seat. I had this one ordered and sent to my destination, as my daughter was about to out grow her infant car seat. On the flight back to Germany my husband buckled this seat into the normal plan seat, and within mins my daughter was asleep and slept the entire 10 hour plane ride, lucky we had a night time flight. We also had a rental car while in the states and it fit perfectly. I did not install this car seat my husband did, but he said it was easy both in the car and on the plane.

Will definitely NOT fit, on some airlines it exceeds the check-in size. You can check plane side and the bag will protect the car seat

Not sure my answer will help. The RelaxoBak is 18" wide; according to google, airplane seats are between 17 & 18" wide. You could call your airline and ask them the width of their seats. This would be perfect for long flights. My dh didn't think to bring his on a 12 hour flight.....

Yes, it fits just fine under a seat. I've used it a few times now when flying, and there's never been a problem.

Yes, this definitely fits under an airplane seat. I've taken it on three flights and haven't had any issues.

This will be a tight squeeze if you are using it rear facing in a small vehicle, but forward facing it would fit fine. It is very heavy compared to a regular infant seat and I usually have to have my husband help me when I need to switch cars. It is very comfortable for my daughter, but I highly doubt it will fit on an airplane comfortably. A large international flight you would be ok, but on any smaller jets you would be hard pressed to make it fit. Hope that helps!

Yes. I have french bulldogs and it fits. As I mentioned, to put under airline seat you must flatten down a bit. Also, some alirlines say it's too big for in-cabin travel but I've never had problems.

No... Not really. As pictured it only works in a vehicle. I use the seat for my 4 year old and we went on a flight without it; plus I don't even think it is authorized for use by the airlines... Best advice I can give is call the air line and get a booster seat if you really need it.

Yes it fits. I carry it though the airport often. Just don't over stuff it. It will fit In The over head compartments but it will not fit under the seat.

The FAA website says that as long as the car seat is 16" wide or less, it will fit. We are preparing to bring it on a flight next week, so I just measured ours and the width (the widest part, which is the base) is 15-1/2", so it will fit. Others who have said the seat is 18" wide are just going by what is listed on the product details page, but I believe that is the width of the shipping box.

I think it might be a bit large to fit on a coach seat... but in first class/business it would likely fit? I don't see it being an issue?
