We will be flying to Japan in mid Jan. We will most likely be flying from Charleston SC, (then probably to ATL to switch flights, then possibly another change somewhere else) and then into either LAX or Seattle and from there we will be flying to Japan. Im not sure if we will have any other stops between the states and Japan or not.
DD will be almost 4 by then so she has to have a ticketed seat. We have a Britax FR85 and from what I have been told it will fit in the seats just fine.
BUT I have NO idea how to lug it around the airports. DH says that we will jsut carry it, but I dont know if we can do that easily.
We will have DD, the stroller, diaperbag, 2 laptops and a rolling carry on and DH will probably have his own backpack full of stuff. That is going to be a TON of stuff to deal with.
DH thought that maybe we could just put her in the plane seat without the carseat and just put the carseat in a travel bag and gate check it with the stroller, but doesnt she have to be in her carseat as a ticketed passenger ??
I thought about getting one of the GoGo Kids travelmates and then just skipping the stroller, but I dont think that the FR85 will even fit on one of those things. It says that the Original Frontier and the Regent will work but nothing about the 85.
I also thought about trying to put the seat in the stroller somehow, but I dont think that will work so well.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Anyone know if it will fit on the Travelmate ?
