There is a possibility that I may be taking an international flight, by myself, with two toddlers. DD will be 3 and DS will be about 20 months.
Those who have had experience with CARES, do you think this harness would be adequate for a 25 pound boy? On the demonstration video it looked a little big on the boy they used. Also, what do you do about planes fitted with viewing screens in the seat backs? I assume that the strap blocks the view of the passenger sitting behind the kid. That's no good, especially on a long international flight.
I just can't imagine lugging two kids, two car seats, along with all of our gear, stroller, etc., through the airports all by myself, let alone getting everything hooked up properly and stowed properly all while keeping an eye on the kids. So, I'm just trying to wrap my brain around what I'm going to do if this trip becomes a reality. All I know is that the kids will need to be restrained in some way, not only for their comfort and safety, but for the comfort and safety for me and the rest of the passengers...lol. We're looking at almost 24 hours of travel time. I can't have them running around the plane if/when I doze off...lol. That would be a disaster.
I won't need car seats at our destination. That will be taken care of.
