We're flying to my hometown in NY for a whirlwind 4-day trip for a family reunion in July. I'll be about 5 months pregnant then, and there's a possibility DD and I will be going alone (but DH is trying to get the time off).
We're booster training DD soon, and I was hoping to use a booster for her during the trip. The thing is, I can't decide if I should bring one of ours (put the back in checked luggage and carry the base on the plane), or if I should just buy one (Walmart has the Annette HBB for $40 with free site-to-store shipping) and keep it there. On one hand, it'd be nice to no longer need to fly with a seat for DD... especially when we'll have a baby with a seat of it's own to bring with us for future flights. On the other hand, I'm not sure how often it would get used by the time DD outgrew it, as we only make it to NY every 12 months to a year.
WWYD? I'm leaning towards buying one and having it shipped to them, my dad assembling it so it's ready when we land, and just leaving it there for future use. They have the storage, as far as I know.
Is there any possible down side to not having the seat with us ourselves??
