Can't decide, car seat on plane, she's almost 6

So is this going to be my first flight without a car seat in tow?

She has a Radian, which is a dream on the airplane. I would use a Turbo Booster for her at our destination. We'll be doing some car travel but not a huge amount.

I brought the Radian last year but we were driving down the coast of California. This time, we might do an hour here or there...

She weighs almost 47lbs and turns 6 in February. Forgot her height but she's long and skinny. She's kind of wiggly and active though and is used to her Radian. She's at the top slots (but only recently!)

I'm actually going to ask her and take that into consideration. We have a Turbo Booster here so she can try it out.

What would you do?

If she can't stay in position, I would take the radian with out. Whether or not you use it on the plane, really is up to you.

I would definitely use it on the plane. It helps her see the movie and it's still safer and more comfortable.

Besides, I never check car seats if I'm not forced to do so. I purposely try to fly U.S. companies for this reason.
