I'm traveling by air in May when my twins will be just over 2. I was planning to gate check their seats and get some CARES harnesses for the plane. We are traveling with my sister and her 8 year old is bringing his booster along.
I am nervous about fitting their travel seats (Avenues) and his booster in the rental. I have a full size SUV reserved, we have a Pilot at home but have Marathons installed in it, but we've also rarely gotten the car promised! This weekend we had one of the avenues installed in our accord in the middle and his booster couldn't sit next to it due to the curve in the back of the seat on the edge. So, I got nervous not knowing what sort of seat would be in the rental!
So....I just discovered (well, read on here!) about those travel vests and got to thinking that I could buy 2 of those for the use on the plane by my boys and then he could use it in the rental. But....as I write this I remember hearing that CARES is the only one approved for airplane travel so maybe I just wrote all this for nothing? We will travel plenty so I don't mind buying the CARES but got to thinking of the use for the vests in the future too.
Thanks...hope this isn't in the wrong spot, I thought there was a travel section but I could't see it.
