I'm flying in a couple weeks to the USA on Air Canada and I purchased a seat for my one-year-old son to put him in a Cosco Scenera car seat, but often Air Canada flights turn into United Flights. So I have concerns about the United FAs not letting me use my car seat on board since it does not say it's approved for airplane use on the actual seat - although it does on the manual which I will bring. On the Air Canada site it says the Canadian seats are approved as long as they have the National Safety Mark: CMVSS 213 for a child restraint device or 213.1 - which mine has.
But the United Airlines website only has this: "The seat must be an FAA-approved child safety seat device". I know there can be some variation to interpretation once on board so my fear is that a flight attendant will not see a sticker and reject the seat. Has anyone had a problem with this when flying with Canadian car seats in the USA?
Also, I tried to find something on the FAA site that said we could use Transport Canada approved seats but I couldn't find it, if anyone has a link to that I would really appreciate it because I could bring something from the FAA on board as well to show them.
Any advice or experience with this would be very appreciated, I'm really stressed about them rejecting my seat.
