Only child restraints that meet certain standards are allowed for air travel. The standards are even more stringent that those used for car seats (not all car seats are approved). This is a booster seat for dining. It does not meet the requirements for travel of any kind and is NOT safe for an airplane.

My granddaughter has gotten a great deal of use out of this. We replaced the large highchair in my dining room with this & it is both useful & compact. It would most definitely fit in a plane seat & I would consider using it for flight travel.

This is not a car seat, it is for dining and will not provide the safety features needed to protect and restrain a child while traveling.

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.

Hi Judith, its a pretty big seat. We have always checked in our car seat at the counter. In the past, we tried lugging a car seat (Britax Marathon and its about the same size as this seat) and installing it on the economy air plane seat once and will not do it again. It's too much of a hassle. It was such a tight fit that the person in the front of my child's seat can't recline. I ended up holding my child's leg the whole flight so she couldn't kick the seat in front of her.

Agreed. We literally got back from California tonight. My kids are 16 months and 3 and a half years old. Very few cars could accommodate a stroller this big is the only downfall, we rent mini vans, by the time you get it and your luggage in, you'll be happy you did. I have a toyota Highlander so it's no biggy for us around home. For anyone who doesn't know though, you don't actually take the stroller onto the plane, once you are about to board the plane from the airwalk you drop the stroller there and it gets checked, then you pick it up in the same place after the flight.. Most air lines check strollers and car seats for free fyi as well. Your wording sounded like you planned on taking it onto the plane, so I thought I would clarify that.

It does not work as a seat on airplanes. You need a hinge to attach the top that exists in most cars but not anywhere else.

I have had no problems putting it under a seat on domestic or international flights. It does tent to get caught on flap for the front pocket so I slide it under the seat upside down to avoid that.

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.

We didn't use it on a plane, but according to the Britax website and the booklet came with it, it won't be difficult to install. We use the Britax carseat bag and checked in at gate along with our stroller, both didn't count as extra luggage. The bag also can be carry like a backpack, it was light and easy to carry. The Carseat bag also could fit a toddler potty seat from IKEA. So it worked perfectly for us.

No. There is no way it would fit. Well, perhaps on a large plane. I'm not sure exactly about the dimensions but I think it ends up being to tall. The seat itself is approved for in flight use so you could use it on the plane. The airlines check carseats for free with a child so I went that route.

Hello - I've never taken this on an airplane, but from what I have managed to get under the seat, this pack is too long. Also, if full, it will be too wide. I take things out of it to get it into the long locker at my gym (YMCA), if that's any help. From what I have seen people put overhead on the plane, it would certainly fit overhead.

Mine is a little big for me to bring on the plane I need my two carry ons. I have seen people wear the smaller ones around their neck while walking in the airport. Which I will do next time.

Many other sellers are including the travel bag for free right now. That said, I have the Foonf and wouldn't ever think of traveling with it. The thing weighs a ton and I would not want to lug it through an airport with all of the other stuff you end up needing when traveling with kids. We used an older car seat that weighs 13 lbs less than Foonf when we flew with out daughter recently and leaving the Foonf at home was the smartest thing we did that trip.

I have but we had a hard time getting to down the aisle....its a pain in the butt becuase its so big. For around the airport I put it on a folding luggage rack, but it was too wide for the plane aisle my husband and the flight attendant had to lift it over the seats, but it technically does fit the airplane seat.

We used seat on a trip to Florida. It worked well for the trip, is very lightweight and easily portable. I'm not sure I'd like to use it on a daily basis. It scooted around a bit on the chair it was attached to. It's great for travel, not sure about daily use.

I have not unpacked it yet. But from the looks of it, if you want to use it on an air plane,I think it is to big. For a car trip I think it would be ok.

I don't know about the plane (it depends on the airlines I think, we were not able to use it last time). But it is perfect for your stay. It is easy to carry when you are taking cabs. At 2.5 he is at the limit, but we used one on our 2 year old and it was ok. For the planes, you dont need a special seat after 2 I think. We did not. Have a safe trip!

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 :-)
