Flying this week, what info do I need to print and bring?

BrookeSLP · Apr 18, 2010

I am flying with my 4 children this week. We are checking two SK Montereys and will have two MAs on the plane, one rear facing and one forward facing. The last time I flew, the flight attendant hassled my about having a convertible rear facing and we were told we could not have two carseats in the same row.
What info should I print and bring to avoid trouble this time around.

Here are the regulations -

You should be able to have them in the same row, but the rf seat will have to be next to the window, and they may not allow one on the aisle. Restraints can't block the egress of another passenger.

and a clarification about erf or HWH seats -

notably-

Discussion: No operator may prohibit a child (an individual who has not reached his or her 18th birthday) from using an approved CRS when the parent or guardian purchases a seat for the child, the child is accompanied by a parent or guardian and the child is within the weight limits for the CRS. If an approved CRS, for which a ticket has been purchased, does not fit in a particular seat on the aircraft, it is the responsibility of the aircraft operator to accommodate the CRS in another seat. The regulations also permit an operator to use its discretion in identifying the most appropriate forward-facing passenger seat location, considering safe operating practices.
