My kids:
5mos
3.5yrs: 38lbs, 40.5"
6yrs on 3/1/12: 52lbs and 48"
We're flying soon for vacation. Our longest trip will be the hour from the airport. Once at our destination, most of our trips will be less than 10mins in duration or we'll be walking.
It hit me last night that my 3.5yr old could now ride in our RSTV and save me lugging the Radian along. I'm thinking either a Harmony backless or a
Bubblebum for my 6yr old. We travel by air often and with 3 kids I need to keep it simple and easy. To me the Bubblebum is worth the expense to save having to hassle with a backless thru the airport. So long as the fit is good, obviously.
Baby will be riding in a Coccoro.
The older 2 will be fine in the lapbelt on the plane. The fit is decent on my 3.5yr old as I tried it the last time we were on a plane just to see. I find the RSTV to be a bit of hassle in terms of use if you're in/out of the car a lot, but I don't think that'll be an issue on this trip as we're more planning just for a lot of R&R.
My 6yr old has been booster training for over a yr, recently moving into a Parkway full time. He does not generally sleep in the car. My 3.5yr old does sleep in the car if we go out in the afternoon, mostly because she no longer naps. We plan to stop for lunch on our way from the airport to destination to break that trip up anyhow so I don't think that'll be an issue.
Any concerns with this setup? Other thoughts?
