We have two boys, ages 4 and almost 2.
We fly a fair amount and have used Sceneras for both boys, up to this point. They have worked marvelously, especially for two kids, since they nest really well inside each other for easier carrying.
My 4-year-old is 39 lbs, though, so he's at the limit of his seat.
So now we have to figure out what to get next.
Here's what we like for an airplane seat:
- Lightweight
- Compact
- Reasonably easy to install using belt path, easy latch install a bonus.
- If the 2-year-old's Scenera can nest well inside the new 4-year-old's seat, that's a plus, or we'd be willing to get two new seats, if there's some other seat that nests like the Sceenras do.
All the above being said, if, another seat doesn't quite meet these requirements but offers its own set of advantages that are overwhelming, then we might be up for considering it.
The Radian is compelling, since it folds and can be worn on the back, but I'm not sure it would really work, since my husband and I each travel with back packs already, and I often wear the 2-year-old on my front in the Ergo. But maybe it could work, if I put my backpack on my front/Radian on my back and walked the 2-year-old down the aisle. (We usually also take along an Uppababy G-Lite umbrella stroller for getting through the terminal.)
Budget is flexible. If there's something good but pricey, we can stretch for it if the benefits warrant the price. But if there's something good and reasonable (like the Sceneras were) that's awesome, too!
Thanks for your insight!
