No...not looking for whether you think I'm crazy!
We will be flying with my large 3 year old and my 4 month old twins. The babies' seats are no problem because they are FAA approved and will just make the trip with us (two Graco Snugride 32's). The problem is that the big guy is in a Regent and that can't go on the plane and I really don't want to check it, plus, we'll have to rent a van instead of borrowing my FIL's Dodge Intrepid while we are there which is an extra expense.
Anyway, I posted about this several months ago (before I had my twins and I was thinking straight), but never followed up. The suggestions I got then were to get a Radian or to use the Ridesafer travel vest. My son weighs over 40 pounds and would technically be fine using just the airplane belt (although I'm still not sure how I feel about that since I don't really trust him to sit through the flight if he can get out of his belt), but we would need a solution for the car.
So...I guess my choices are...
1) Get a Radian and use it in the car and on the plane.
2) Get just a travel vest and use it in the car and just the belt on the plane.
My questions are...
1) We are traveling to Michigan, so a winter coat will be involved. Does that make one choice better than the other?
2) Will a Radian and two Snugride 32's fit three across in an Intrepid?
What do you think we should do? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
