is this a good carseat for flying with?

This seat is definitely heavy and the rebound bar feature flips up & down when it's not installed and would flap around if not secured in a car so even having never flown with it, I'd say just from owning it, it's probably not the best seat for flying/transporting through an airport. I'm sure there are some that are lighter/more compact. Like the other person answered though, it is pretty easy to install so that would be a plus.

We usually don't because it is pretty bulky & there's really no adequate grip to transport through an airport.

i've never flown with it, but it is pretty heavy to carry around an airport. its easy to install with a belt, so that wouldn't be an issue, but the weight would be too much for me.

Yes! My daughter loves it. It is a booster so the padding isn't quite like we are used to with an actual carseat. However, the padding that is on this seat is much more comfortable than others I looked at. We find it very comfortable riding long distances as well.

I am flying with my little dog on Sunday and bought this for that reason. It is soft and will fit under the front seat.

Call the airline and ask them. You can take as cushion, whetehr or not you'd be bale to use the car adapter feature on a plane, I don't know.

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.

I would believe it would work well. It has a handle to carry it by, and sitting waiting for your plane to take off you could sit on it there as well.

We have used it on 8 flights so far. It is fine in the sense that it fits on the plane (we had it rear-facing) and it works the same as it would in a car. The downside is the weight of this carseat means it is not easy to haul this carseat onto the plane and through airports between flights (we strapped it to a cart to go from one gate to another). The other downside is that the person who sits in front of you won't be able to recline their seat on the plane at all and this may upset them (but this is probably true for most carseats). I would take it on a plane again.

When using this on a plane, it is only approved to be used as a 5 pt harness car seat. The seat belt goes through the belt path in the back. I use it in my car with the seat belt and have no problem. I imagine a plane wouldn't be much different.

It is way too big for that kind of transportability. It's very light though. I would not recommend for plane or car

I have taken it. It's awesome for child control. The only time my kid slept on a plane. Kids understand the car seat well and a plane seat with lap belt is like a free for all. You put the seat belt through the back to hold it in place. However, it is large and takes up the entire allotted space of the seat, both side to side and front to back. the pros may not outweigh the cons for you.

hello, i would double check its specs but i think it would depend on the kid's height. i have a 5yr old and a 3yr old, im not using it w my 3yr old yet although he is tall enough. i just figure that is safest o have them in a 5pt harnest carseat specially since most cars now have side airbags etc, hope this helps :)

This isn't something you use on the airplane. You just use it to carry your carseat to the airplane by tying it to your luggage. You'll need to take it off when you get to the plane so you can stow your luggage and either install or stow your carseat.

We used it for air travel, fairly easy to install and fit the small seats in those small rural airport planes. Easy to carry around too as long as you are carrying only a backpack diaper bag and the carseat with baby. I wouldn't recommend trying to juggle more than that (unless you have a husband or helper to assist you.)

I did not use it with a carseat so unfortunately can not answer. I had a click and go frame.. They are fantastic!!!! This stroller is horrible.. just saying again..I replaced it with a Joovy Scooter.. best thing I ever did!!

Hmm I'm not sure although I have that same carseat. But, side note , after receiving the product I regretted getting it. It's thin and not appropriate for cold weather. There is another version that is perfect but this particular one is not. My opinion only.

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 :).

What I like about it is that this car seat is slim and doesn't take up much space. The question is are airplanes safer than these car seats?
