Can u sit with the baby facing out in this carrier? Is it a good choice for long air travel?

Baby can face out in this carrier once he can support his own head. They recommend you have them face in until then. Not sure about air travel; I know that anytime I want my son to be still and quiet, he's going to be squirmy and fussy. Presumably even more so on an airplane surrounded by irritable passengers, ha ha. Good luck!

Yes facing forward was our preferred position. But only when they are tall enough to see over the bib section. It balls up nicely to travel, but it takes a bit of work because of the many straps. But do it a couple of times n you will be efficient.

I have - it worked great! Traveling through the airport was SO much easier than the last time I traveled, without the Go-Go Babyz Travelmate Deluxe. Be prepared for a handcheck at security, as the car seat and carrier won't fit through the x-ray machines (the car seat doesn't fit through on its own either, even without the carrier). You'll have to detach the car seat from the carrier when you're boarding the plane, because they won't fit down the aisle. I used the car seat on the airplane, and tucked the carrier under the seat while flying. When traveling through the airport, it works just like a stroller. I buckled in my 3-year-old and off we went! He enjoyed riding in it as much as I enjoyed the stress-free travel. I highly recommend it.

I have traveled with the carseat and alone with a 2-3 yr old, both internationally and domestically. Now, I'm a pretty strong woman, but it's not very joyful carrying this over your back along with carry on bag, stroller, kid, backpack, and or whatever you choose to bring with you. It does not come with the back straps, they have to be purchased separately (I purchased on amazon) and they have about a 6 inch long padding strip (which is very minimally padded). My daughter is 3 now and I have no plans to travel anytime soon, but if I do I'll be checking in the seat, not bringing it on the plane. Now, the seat itself is incredible, it's fits on any airline seat, its comfortable, safe, amazing quality. Although I can't really give a great experience traveling with this seat, I do have to say it is and was a lot easier than when I used to have to travel with a regular carseat. It is also alot easier if you are traveling with an adult companion (I've always traveled alone with toddler with this seat), and can find a way to add a little extra padding to the strap, then you will be golden! Hope this helps!

Yes!! I have a newborn who sits rear facing just fine in his Graco car seat. Great stroller!!! Would definitely suggest purchasing!!

Yes. Just be prepared the sides rip where the child sits. But you can still sit in it. I use a stroller almost everyday and this didn't work well for that. Wasn't worth the money to me.

I am sorry to say I don't know one way or the other as I have never had to take a toddler seat on a plane. That being said, this seat is about as portable as any of the previous 4 I have tried. I yank it in and out of my car all the time as I only see my little granddaughters once a week and I use my back seat for multiple other purposes than car seat storage. My daughter has one like it and she likes the seat too but I don't think she took it on their one and only plane ride (she did not take any seats as they are 3 and 5). Good luck and have a good trip.

Yes, you can either have your baby facing forward or facing you. It's one of the things I love about the VISTA!

No. But you can carry on your back. Babybjorn is the best facing the world carrier.

Personally, although this is my number one way of transporting my baby, I would be reluctant to bring it on an airplane. It is a little too big, and not flexible to try and fit under a seat.

It can be placed rear facing but you would have to check manufacturers minimum weight for using it for a baby

It's very comfy you learn how to wrap it quite easily. It's comfortable for you and baby. Good as a hip carrier however I stopped using mine at around 7 months of age for my daughter since she grew out of it. I'm sure it would be great for a toddler. I don't recommend it as a back carrier though.

It is not the best seat to travel with. The shape makes it bulky and difficult to pack. I recommend getting the "Pottette" instead - it is compact and folds easy for travel, and also doubles as a stand-alone potty for emergencies.

This is all one piece... it is not an infant seat for travel systems. This is what you would use when your child is too big for those (I couldn't really get my baby and the infant seat in and out of the car easily at 7 months). These are WAY more comfortable for the baby, so once you are not using your infant seat as a travel system, I would upgrade to this. You can then turn this forward facing as your child gets older.

You can only carry a baby facing you in this carrier, or on your back. I should think the carrier doesn't make that much difference with the position of baby's legs, as this type carriers always mean legs are wide open and knees bent, kind of like squatting, much the same way as if you're carrying a baby on your hips. That is supposed to be more ergonomic for the baby than legs hanging right down, less stress on the baby's back.

yes i would say it's great to travel with. i've traveled with this stroller on 4 flights. it's easy to fold up and also stands after fold. it's great that there is a strap you can put on your shoulders if you need to pick up the stroller and go quickly your hands are free to hold the baby and other things.

The easiest way is to put the chair face forward and pass the airline safety belt through the slots on the back of the chair.The chair is quite light and compact. I was traveling overseas alone with my one-year old, and was able to carry both the baby and the chair (and a diaper bag, and a backpack and a stroller) I still keep this chair for future flights.
