Hey there, we got this seat because it meets both US and European standards. In fact it's one of thr highest rated for safety.

This is approved by the FAA and by the NHTSA, so its good in all modes of travel.

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.

The seat is height adjustable, so I don't think your height will be an issue. I believe it is rated for up to 300lbs. Initially, the seat my be uncomfortable but, DON'T go out and get a new/padded one. It may take a few months of consistent riding, but it WILL break in and be very comfortable.

Hi Jean! This back support would not work for airplane seats. The straps help stabilize the support in place especially since it's a 3-prong cushion. Hope this helps :)

Yes it is. We have had no problems with this seat. We have had it nearly a year now. It has to deal with 350 ounds and have had no problems.

Keep an eye on the Britax website. That's usually where the testimonials are posted. There are none right now for that seat, which is good ;), but may be soon.

I dont think its an approved aircraft restraint. The average 2.5yo will be too small for the size small. I think it says 3.5 and up but I began using it for my 3yo who was bigger than an average 4yo. Worked well for him. For a 2.5yo Id get a small cheap lightweight 5pt harness seat.

Our seat broke in two as well. Now I'm trying to find a replacement seat. Belen Samper, did you ever find a replacement seat? If so, where and how much did it cost you? Thanks for any help.

They aren't padded, but I had no problems with the armrests. My problems came from the casters and air-lift breaking.

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.

The chairs need cushions to be comfortable. The cushions are not the greatest but they work fine. It was extremely simple to assemble. And yes the armrests are at a good level for comfortable seating. The only drawback on the set I would have to say is the fact that the feet have black screw in tabs and they leave black marks on the concrete patio when they are moved. I have tried to get other screw tabs but no one has them and even the manufacturer doesn't have a non marking type. I even tried putting tape on each one and glueing felt tabs. Nothing really works. Otherwise, the set is lovely. The chairs need cushions to be comfortable. The cushions are not the greatest but they work fine. It was extremely simple to assemble.

You could use it as a soft seat but it is a little bulky. It would have to be a long flight or you have something like hip pain to make it worthwhile. Have not tried to get it past TSA.

that was not an issue with my use . Seat in my opinon is well made (sturdy) an should accomodate most . The only issue that I can see is the with of the seat may not fit larger people but possibly trying a cushion may possibly take care of that problem . You have to try and see.

This seat comes with standard mounting rails, you can mount a post clamp on these to use with seat posts that don't have an integrated clamp, but will need o purchase one separately.

I don't know about the seats but my husband and I have used this together. We are about the same as your weights but he is 6'4". We fit ok, a bit cozy but it works and is not too uncomfortable. I recommend taking a little air out of the bottom of the seats to lower your center of gravity a bit to make it more stable.

I have a bad back condition and I find this seat to be very comfortable and doesn't interfere with my back. As as far as your knee, I can't see how it would interfere with your seating, as nothing is in your way when you are sitting on it.

I want to ensure the "BOTTOM SUPPORT" of this seat is going to be comfortable for EVERYDAY USE, along w the "BACK Support". My child just turned 2 years old 4 days ago. He is custom & VERY use to His "Chairries/by JonTi-CrafT" but enough eating in living room!! Does anyone feel this Transition of not only The Cairrries but his own personal"Security, Stability, Safty" WILL BE MET BY THIS PRODUCT?
