airplane travel with an infant seat?

I was reading in the companion's manual that to install in an airplane seat, you don't use the base. Is this true of other infant seats as well?

My question then is this- if we take just the seat without a base, will it install well/easily in a rental car (compact, if that makes a difference..)? Is there a trick to installing infant seats without the base to make them solid?

Thanks!

That is the case with other infant seats too. I don't know if any allow the use of a base on an airplane.

I think when we flew with DD in an infant seat, we just took the base along and used it in the rental car, but I could be wrong. Mommy brain! Anyway, I'd suggest practicing a base-less install at home first, so that you're comfortable with it. I found it not too hard, but you do end up leaving the seat in the car and carrying the baby, or else installing the seat every time.

HTH!
