Hi. This is my first post, so please bear with me if I'm in the wrong place!
We are taking my 18 month DS on a trans-pacific flight soon. He has his own seat on the plane. At home he rides rear-facing in a Britax Boulevard (my car) or Roundabout (DH's car). I had read all about how the Cosco Scenera was such a fabulous lightweight airplane seat and so bought one for the trip. Every pound counts when hauling gear!
However, I talked to the airline we are flying on (Singapore) and they do not allow rear-facing seats. I figured we would just FF for the flight. But reading the Scenera manual, it says that DS nees to be a minimum of 34" tall to FF. DS is 32" and 25 lb. Now I'm concerned that the Scenera will not work on the flight.
Any advice? Is there another super-lightweight easy to install carseat out there that can FF DS for this flight? Should I just suck it up and haul the Roundabout around (I don't think the Roundabout has a height minimum for FF)? Or does the height thing not really matter for an airplane install?
We are leaving next week so I need to figure this out soon! Thanks.
