DS will be 2 yr 9 mo when we fly next month. I would like to RF him on the plane, as he's used to it, and he is TOTALLY the kind of kid who would try to kick the crap out of the seat of the person in front of him. And because of the very small risk of a runway emergency.
We have a MR and a TFP. Of those two, I'd rather take the MR on our trip. However, it's pretty bulky/awkward to carry, and I doubt it'd be very comfortable to sit beside. Also, some threads indicated it wouldn't be the easiest to install RF on the plane and that it would require a belt extender?? As for getting the seat through the airport, on previous flights I've worn DS on my back and carried the car seat. (An Avenue, which we don't have any more. ) I *could* get a luggage cart, but the less to fiddle with in the security line, the better.
The other option is to purchase another seat. I'm thinking a CA would be a good bet, as he's too tall to justify buying a Scenera or a Titan now. I know it would have to be super upright to RF on the plane, but I'm OK with that. It's also narrower and slightly lighter than our MR so better for carrying through the airports, I would think. And DS could continue to use the CA for ERF after he outgrows the MR by height or when we turn him FF. I doubt we'd want to keep the MR once he's FF.
So, WDYT? Use the MR for traveling or buy a CA? (And is anyone running a good sale on CA now?)
