Will these fit on an infant while fastened in a carseat or are they too bulky? We're looking to purchase for 9 month old for private plane use.

They should fit on well, provided the child doesn't have padding right next to their head. My daughter wore hers in a stroller and another friend's infant wore them in a car seat while attending a wedding reception.

Ithey are bulky so I doubt they would work. We wouldn't be able to use them now with a 15 pound baby in his 1st car seat.

I had a baby trend car seat and it fit in snug, but for safety I used the strap. The summer infant cadres fit the same in the adapter as my baby trend.

I have a baby trend. Its a pain in the toosh to get on when the baby is in the seat though. FYI.. I haven't used mine yet.

Our carseat safety inspector advised against using this, even though we have a Britax carseat, stating that it was too bulky and not sized to fit properly. It would be similar to buckling in a child wearing a thick winter coat because it prevents the straps from being tightened sufficiently. She recommended rolling up receiving blankets and using those for support if needed.

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.

The vest is not intended for airplane travel but I did use the vest for my 2 year 9 month old daughter last summer, it fit ok but I would have been less comfortable if she were any smaller than she was. She isn't the tallest so if your son is on the taller end of the chart he should be ok.

I used them on my newborn and they fit just fine, but she was also almost 9 pounds. So I'm not sure how it would go with a smaller baby.

No. As long as they aren't skin tight sheets. If the sheets were too big the bumpers might slip. If child is mobile, these will not work. Good for a young baby.

The infant insert (the patterned part) is sort of slippery, not very soft and could possibly be a little hot. When that is removed the fabric underneath is very soft and breathable. I feel like this carseat is very safe, just make sure the chest strap is placed at or slightly above the arm pits as the straps are a little wide. In an accident the straps could easily fall of the shoulder if the chest strap is low.

They are too large for a passenger. Mine cover the rear foot pegs. However not an issue for me because I don't ever take a passenger.

No the seat is too bulky and does not fit on an airplane seat. But it is perfect for the car. Your baby will love you for the mini-couch feeling :).

The straps are lap only - it says it can carry a baby, but I'd make sure they can sit up on their own and then be right there while they sit it it - once the seat is tilted back, the baby should stay in fine, but if they are on the go, they could probably wiggle out of it once stationary, but the seat is only to keep them contained while traveling through the airport. We are testing ours out the end of this month with a three year old who hates to walk and carry stuff. Good luck!

I believe the manual states that it is rated for airplane travel. I do not have it with me now, and we have never tried. I would imagine as a forward facing carseat it would fit, but rear facing would be a very tight squeeze and probably wouldn't fit in the recommended reclining position for smaller infants.

In my opinion they are a little bulky and heavy for a 2 month old. Also, they are adjustable but I dont think it woukd fit correctly on a two month old.

My kids are 16 mo apart, so my older child wasn't huge when the baby was in the infant seat, but they fit great. The back seat reclines enough to make it not feel too cramped. The compact size is awesome, so I definitely wouldn't change it, but as my infant got bigger, his feet would be right at my older child's face. It made it very hard for her not to play with his feet while he was napping in the infant seat :).

We ONLY use this carseat for air travel. It is FAA approved for forward facing, narrow enough to fit with the armrests down, and lightweight for carrying through the airport. There is a carseat backpack available which it fits into nicely. It is very easy to install in an airplane seat. BUT, it is a major pain-in-the-neck to install in the car once you get to your destination. It doesn't seem as stable in a car as some of the more expensive brands, and you can't adjust straps with your kid in it. For that reason, it pretty much collects dust for us when we're not traveling.

I think they're too big. The company makes one designed to fit under an airline seat.
