Can a ComfortSport fit in a bulkhead seat? What can?

Hi -

We are flying internationally (to the UK) in December and I need to figure out which carseat to take. We normally use our Britax Advocate, but don't really want to lug the beast through the airport. We have a ComfortSport (Felicia model) available so am hoping it fits.

If not, what seats fit into the bulkhead seats? We are flying British Airways, in a 747.

Thanks!!

My daughter will be approx. 2 1/2 when we travel... She will prob be around 28 lbs. We have the "Felicia" model and I think the base may be slightly wider than others (at least in the pics I've seen online).

Thanks so much for your responses/recommendations.

It looks the same as all the other ComfortSports I've seen from the pics. As far as I know the shell on all ComfortSports is identical, just the padding differs. Since your seat has a lot of extra padding, thus possibly shorting the time it can be used, make sure she still fits in it before you head out on your trip with her shoulders below the top slots. It's not uncommon for kids to outgrow the ComfortSport before 2.5 y/o. But if she fits, I'm sure it will fit in the bulkhead. It's a very narrow seat really. And light too! It's nice for travel.

Also, I'm assuming the cup holder is removable. If it is I would definitely remove that for the bulkhead and probably for the whole trip.

To ProudMommyof3: The CAA (Britain's FAA) say that their testing did not show that a baby was safer in a rear-facing car seat than they would be unrestrained and therefore they do not allow rear-facing car seats, only forward-facing ones.
