Please help settle an argument...
11month old, 23lb, 28" daughter & I are traveling via airplane next month. We were supposed to be going via car and therefore, would have had our own car seat. A friend has recommended that we 'rent' a car seat from a car rental company (I did not know that they even did that) so we don't have to lug ours around.
My husband wants me to check the seat as luggage (sunshine radian xtl). I'm hesitant to check the seat for fear of what could happen to it (I love this seat!) but don't relish the thought of carrying my 23lb daughter and a 20lb car seat also. Any suggestions, thoughts or information on why checking our car seat would be a bad or good idea? Thanks.
