Baseless Best for Air Travel?

Traveling with a Shuttle 33. Would baseless be best for travel on the plane? Is it a pain to install the base and trek it through the terminal?

I would definitely go baseless for air travel. Infant seats are a breeze to install on an airplane without the base and it makes travel easier as well. For seats that allow install without the base, it is just as safe to use it without the base as it is with the base, it is a convenience factor and takes out the variable of having to install a seat every time you put it in the car.

The only caution with the Combi Shuttle 33 is that the base must be used after 22 lbs, but I am thinking you are using this for a newbie anyway. :)

A lot of seats you HAVE to install baseless on a plane because the ginormous plane belt buckle sits in the way of the carrier hooking into the base,

Thanks :)

What I needed to hear. I think I'm even going to leave the base at home, too. Well, I go back and forth on that. I guess we will see.

LO isn't even 9 lbs yet ;-) so baseless is kosher.
