direct air made me check our booster (no back)...

courtfrog2 · Jul 15, 2011

Obviously I knew we couldn't use it on the plane... I planned on stowing it. Nope they made us check it. Now I have visions of it being thrown :-(. It was only a harmony. Should I be worried??

DD is almost 7 so we thought the radian would be overkill. So here I sit in the terminal second guessing my decision.

Thoughts?

Nope, don't worry. It's already been thrown plenty of times between manufacture and purchase, there's nothing baggage handlers can do to it that's any worse. Is it at least in a bag so it won't get filthy?

courtfrog2 · Jul 15, 2011

Crap... no bag. As long as it'll be safe I guess we can handle filth!

How many other carry-ons do you have? If you're under the amount allowed, I don't see how they could make you check it as long as it would fit on the plane and isn't a banned item.

5 people are traveling. We only have 4 carry on suitcases, 2 backpacks, and 3 little totes with books. Well under the limit :-(

too bad it wasn't IN a backpack... I doubt they would have made you check it if they didn't know what it was.

I'm not as worried about a booster being man handled, now the radian no way!

Sent from my iPod touch, sorry for any auto-correct typos!

We all arrived safely and the seat seems fine. She fast asleep in the booster on our way to disney!

I would not have been as nice as you.

Nope, I would have demonstrated that it was within carryon limits and asked why I could not put it under my seat. Or "disappeared" around the corner and "got rid of it" into a bag.

I think because the booster is classified a "mobility device" they can't make you check it. (Obviously, this doesn't always stop them). If they try the same thing on the way back, ask what they're going to do if they misplace it and you're stuck at the airport with no way to get home.
