Does anyone have experience using it RF in a plane? Our baby will be a year old when we fly. Would it be better to FF it on the plane?

I used it FF because RF does not fit. My baby traveled very confortable, and so did I!!!

This will fit fine rear facing on most planes. It will probably not be at the correct angle, but I would personally be more comfortable with my child rear facing at a more upright angle than forward facing that early.

Yes you can , I have done it on several flights...while out eating...while in a hospital waiting room...on vacation or at a friends house. My daughter (now 20 months, 26lbs and very tall) really loves to sleep in this. She had tubes put in her ears last week and we had to be at the hospital very early. She was so very tired but wouldn't sleep in her bed, I strapped her in and she went to sleep and I just sat back down. My daughter really loves this, I keep it in the car as I really only use it for her to nap in while we are out if needed. I've back carried a couple of times too if we go to someplace where its tight space and the stroller isn't an option.

Yes, I have used it on a flight. It even fit snugly and perfectly between the seat in front and the seat it was placed on, during my United flight. Seemed very secure even before I attached the lap belt to it. Infant slept in the carseat for the entire flight :-)

No this toy is not a good choice for air travel in a comercial flight. The box is large and will too heavy for 2.5 year old. My child is 3years old and she canoot carry to far.

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.

I took it with me on one flight and had no problems at all. The device was not entirely problem free, however. It's noisy, very noisy. It worked well for me for three months keeping the temperature of the insulin between 2 and 5 degrees Celsius. But then one morning I found that it was at room temperature and my insulin was cloudy. I'm not sure if it had been frozen or cooked. It hasn't worked since then.

Not a good idea for the plane -- far too many pieces. Also think 16 months too young for this item. Hope this helps.

Oh yeah! I have gotten one for all 3 of my 7 year old grandsons. All love it and can operate it well. Be aware that this is for indoor use only. It is much to light to handle even the gentlest breeze. The plane is very sturdy and I let them fly it in my living room, with no adverse consequences.

Yes. We use it on planes so we can both watch a movie. It worked well for us. Airlines are going to more updated planes and our last 2 flights were no movie or radio on board so DVD player or other personal device is only way to be entertained.

Hi Tze - The receiver does very well in the air band, i would say yes to using in a plane .. but i would definately recommend a better antenna, exterior of the craft would be optimal.

Hi, we are adopting and need a travel crib for the new born baby until we can fly home. Do you think this would be a good option. We do not want to use the hotel one due to germs and want something clean and safe for the newborn. Thoughts?

We have only used ours at home and in the car, but we have no complaints. We love them! I believe these would work great in an airplane. One can be watching TV and the other sitting right there with his headphones I haven't gotten one complaint.

We did...once...my grandson had been pulling on the remote antenna wire...had to PUSH IT BACK DOWN in the unit!... it worked! Also, he's so rough with it that somehow he got the back wheel off track like a blown out tire!... the plane wobbled and wouldn't back up or run fast on the rug (after only two days of play!)...sooooo...ONCE AGAIN...his SugaMama became Mechanic Extraordinaure and put the tire back on the wheel and all is happy and rolling with the little guy!Good luck!

I use eflite's 200mAh 25c lipo pack. It works great (and fits perfectly in the plane) and should do ten minutes of flight without any trouble. Part number is: EFLB2002S25

It's using RF at 2.4 GHz. BTW, it's not obsolete because it's not bluetooth. It's meant to be used for a home entertainment system (not for a cell phone). If you need an airplane, don't give a bad review to a car because it can't fly!

I've used mine on a plane. No car seat is really easy on a plane, I guess. The hardest part was just getting it down the aisle. But it was well worth it. My kiddo slept the whole flight.

That's odd. Mine didn't have one and I bought it soley for use on an airplane. I've used it on about 10 international flights. At first, I thought the flight attendants might say something. But I've never had anyone say anything. I did mention it to a Microsoft scientist sitting next to me. Even though I bought the thing, I have my doubts about the science. When I mentioned it to the scientist, however, he said there is some scientific support for the technology employed by the device.
