Hello,
I am planning a trip with my 18. mo. old daughter where we fly to destination A, stay there awhile, drive 350 miles to destination B, stay there and then fly home from there. We plan to fly infant in arms. (Note: I realize that there are strong opinions about the safety of this, and completely respect those, but would rather save that for another thread. So for the purposes of this question, assume she will be in arms.) We have an almost new Britax Marathon, and don't want to replace it any time soon.
My question is, given these parameters, what is the best option for dealing with her car seat. It seems my options are:
1. Check it with baggage. In this case, how should I package it? We no longer have the original packaging. Do they sell special coverings?
2. Gate check it. In this case, how do I lug it through the airport? And, again, how do I package it?
3. Rent one. Where would I rent one? The one time I rented from the car rental company, it was a total piece of garbage. I know they have baby rental type places, but do they deliver to airports? And can I return to a different locale?
Is there an option I haven't thought of?
Thanks! I have received great advice from you guys in the past, and appreciate your insight.
Cheers,
Jessie
