Has anyone used this on an airplane? Were there any issues with either taking it on the plane, not fitting or anything else? Thanks in advance!

I bought this for my son's gf who travels on airplanes quite a lot and she loves it. She is a doctor and well aware of deep vein thrombosis. I don't think anybody who is not short can really appreciate this thing. I asked my son recently if she was still using it and he said 'she won't leave on a trip now without it" which I think is wonderfully funny as he told me (before Christmas) he thought is was a really stupid present. She has had no trouble traveling with it.

I have had mine for many years, and have not yet used it on a plane.... But, I use it often, and it makes sitting much more comfortable. It folds up to about the size of a half-size three ring binder (the small ones) and is less than an inch thick when folded. It is light, and the foot base is adjustable for width, so if you needed, you wouldn't have to slide the panels all the way out. I love mine and would highly recommend it to anyone considering buying one.

You shouldnt have any issues carrying and traveling with the footrest at all. It's made of 100% ABS plastic not a single metal or sharp parts so no problem whatsoever! :)

No problem taking it on the plane. It fit fine, but some problem with it flipping to the side during a long flight.

I use my stool everytime I fly. It folds up to be small, so there has been no issues getting it on. It fits perfectly under the seat and is sturdy. I love it!!

You should be able to carry it on the plane. It's 35" long in its case. For the total linear length and weight it should be okay. However each airline is different I'd call the airline and ask

I've used it several times as a carry on without any problems. Only once was I asked to check it right before I walked on the plane but only because the storage bins were all full. Flying out again in two weeks so I'm curious to see anything has changed as of dec 2nd.

I'm not sure about taking it on the plane. I checked it as didn't want to be bothered storing luggage. When full it is quite large. You will have to check the airlines guidelines about size.

I have not taken it on an airplane--only in car and RV. I think it would be ok as it is pretty flexible. You can try contacting and airline and asking them about the verticle space under their seats. If flying with your pet is your primary use of it then one of the lower ones might work better. I wanted it for the car and to have my cat be able to sit upright and it is good for that. Good luck!

Not having needed to take it with me on a plane I really don´t know. This being a small and light object I don´t see any problems taking it on board. However, the practice may vary from airline to airline, so I would contact the company in advance. I certainly wouldn´t accept carrying it in the luggage compartment, only with me in the passanger cabin!

I have used it forward facing on the airplane. As another answer says, it is big and heavy. It's wider than the aisle, so it's hard to get on the plane. Once on, it will fit forward facing (barely!) but it difficult to buckle in. I found that the seat belt buckle ended up right under where my son's bottom would be. To avoid that, the flight attendant wrapped the seatbelt around the armrest so the buckle was off to the side. Not sure how that affects the safety of the seat.

I don't take mine when I travel, although I miss it! I take a smaller one that is not lighted since airlines have cut down on weight of bags. You could take it, I just don't.

I've never used it on an airplane but from using it in my car I would say yes. It doesn't stick out very far. Hope this helps somewhat!

It will all depend on the plane to be honest. I was able to fit it under some of the seats just fine, but depending on where you are seated and how low the seats go. Sometimes it won't fit. It will fit however in the overhead just fine.

I have used this car seat on the plane with no issue. It's heavy and hard to maneuver, though, and I used a big car seat bag to carry it onto the plane.

Hi Linda,I take on the plane all the time and never had a problems the 5 or so years that I've had it. It is small enough to fit in the overhead compartment with other stuff on top of it too.

I've never taken it on a plane, however you should probably place it in your suitecase. I dought if they would let you take it on the plane , due the its size.

I'm not certain what you mean. If you mean is it legal to carry electronic items like this onto a plane, I have no idea, since those rules change constantly now. You'd have to call or email the airline and ask for their list of "no-fly" items. (If you can't bring a small bottle of shampoo or hand lotion on flights now, I honestly have no idea how to judge what they will deem as against the rules anymore.) If you are wanting to know if it's a good travel size, it is. It folds neatly and doesn't take a ton of space in your bag. It works well and I've had no problems with mine. I use it a few times a week and have had it for awhile now. I hope that helps.

It's a small bag! I think you could take it as a carry on if you'd like. I don't see why it would be a problem. I took it with me onto a plane a few months back.

Not sure I never traveled with it. I assume since it's flat and has no moving parts or sharp edges, it would not be a problem. Contact your airline they should be able to tell you?

I've used mine on airplanes twice (Southwest, Delta) and is perfect for the cabin. The first time it was full so I had to take the smaller backpack apart, which fits great under the seat. The second time it wasn't as full as the first and both backpacks fit together on the cabin.I wasn't asked to check it. It's smaller than a lot of stuff people bring into the cabin.And it's very practical! I'm very happy with it. It has enough space for a 4-5 day trip plus several gadgets on the small backpack (I carry a 15.4" laptop, an ipad, kindle, iphone and all the cables).
