Is this car seat FAA approved for use in air travel?

Yes, the instructions manual states that this child seat is certified for aircraft use.

yes! We just flew (November 2015) and we were able to gate check it each time. When you get to TSA, they take out the car seat and swipe it/test it for chemicals. Nothing will fit through the scanner. It was not a big deal at all. However, the airline took it down to the carousel on one of the flights and the entire wheel and casing was sheared off.

Yes. It is a bit big but they will let you use it on most airplanes. At the very least, they will allow you to gate check it for free. Check with the airline - you have to call them anyway to let them know that you're traveling with infants.

Yes, it has the FAA certified sticker on the seat stating it is approved for airplane use.

I don't know of such a sticker but we traveled with it on Southwest recently. Then again, we checked the car seat so we never used it on the actual airplane. And for what it's worth, a seat for a child small enough for a car seat is an airliner racket. They're not really much safer in their own seat or a car seat when/if an airplane crashes.

It is approved for airline use. If concerned about the weight of the product and transporting through the airport, you may also want to consider the Britax travel cart.

it is a great car seat; i feel very safe putting my very tall 2 year old granddaughter in it. it has a function to recline but only when you are installing it; another words, you have to do this while it is unbuckled from your car. there is a piece of support that you can fold under which makes this car set tilt back more. i do not think you can do this while the seat is strapped in.I do not know if it is FAA approved, i do not know if it works with the stroller set up; i only use is a few times a month for her.Noni

I can't say whether this crate is airline approved or not but... in my opinion, it seems much too light in construction to endure everyday routine handling by airline personnel or others. One of my dogs is 15 lbs. and we have a medium size Compass crate. It works for transporting this dog in a car but even that has some limitations as the crate does not have holes at the outside corners for tie downs. Hope this helps.

No it is not airline approved as a carrier. It is a backpack or rather a front pack

No. This is not certified to be used on aircraft. This seat requires a type-2 harness (lap and shoulder belt), which is not available on aircraft.

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.

Yes it is approved and it has a sticker that states it on the car seat. We have flown internationally with this seat and have had no problems.

I would think you could use this on a small plane like a Cessna etc. which is similar in size to an automobile seat but I'm not familiar with the cushion's flammability characteristics as required by FAA standards. I would guess if it's safe for a car it would be acceptable in an aircraft. I find it very comfortable and have used it in my car for several weeks now. It's not that expensive and you could always return it if it doesn't fit.

Yes. We used it flying to the Bahamas, on both a "standard" size plane and a much smaller 40 seat one. It is also "airline approved".

Sorry, but have never used the seat in an airplane, strictly Prius in the back seat. Seat IS heave and would not want to carry through an airport but if I had no other choice I would.

No it is not permitted for air travel. I keep mine in my check in case and use it at my destination.

Yes, we have used it on an Alaska flight to Hawaii. Our daughter was 18 months, front facing. They make you put the car seat on the inside seat. The armrest next to it does not go down with it. The seat buckle also buckles in the middle so their is a lump in the middle of the child's back, unavoidable. Bring a blanket to use for padding.
