I'll be taking DD (15 months) and DS (turns 4 in September) on their first airplane trip on Saturday. DD will be riding in her Marathon in a purchased seat (we bought the nifty traveling toddler gadget...pretty cool!). DS is big for his age (45" and 44-45lbs) and we have him in a Britax Regent for daily use. We bought a Graco TurboBooster for secondary travel when necessary (he's used it only once so far, but he was able to sit still in it as instructed). I will bring the Graco TB for this trip...I would like to avoid potential damage to the seat and carry it on. The problem is I think it's awfully big, and I'd have to carry it on in separate pieces (they each barely qualify as a carryon according to Southwest guidelines...the back of the booster is about 1 1/2" too long when you include the hinge part in the measurement). So...
1. Can I bring just the base? Is that unwise? We'll be travelling from a resort property to DisneyWorld each day (just 8 or 9 miles one way on highways) in a full-size rental sedan.
2. If I really should bring the entire seat, I'd rather gate check it. How do I protect it in that case? (I no longer have the original packaging).
Any and all help is VERY much appreciated...TIA!!!
