We'll be flying next month and I'm trying to decide what to do about a seat for my son. He's 7 yrs, 48", 49 lbs and normally rides in his regent or nautilus.
In the past, I've lugged his nautilus with me, but it doesn't fit through the security machines and has to be hand checked. It's a pain to transport it through the airport (we have connecting flights) and I always seem to end up trying to defend his still being in a 5 pt to some security guy or FA in front of my son, who then thinks he's strange because he's not in a booster yet. So, while I hate to buy another seat, I'm considering getting him a smaller, lighter, easier to transport booster. Since we've lost luggage in the past and there's so many damaged seat stories out there, I'd like to bring it on the plane with us. I'm seriously considering the compass b510 or maybe a turbo or air booster, but will consider anything, really. I'd love for it to fit in the overhead bin. Any advice or suggestions? Thanks!
