Should I RF my 13 mo old on the plane?

Our princess Radian 80 just arrived yesterday :thumbsup: We are planning on taking it with us to Sweden this xmas when she'll be 13 mo old. Obviously, she will be RFing in the car in it but should I also put her RFing in the plane? I would think yes but if so, I'd prefer to be in bulk head seats so as not to bother any passengers in front of us...it's a loooong flight.

Thanks!

If you can figure out how to get a RF Radian in a plane seat, do it! :) I don't think it will fit in most plane seats, though. I saw a woman trying to RF a Radian when I flew to California and it wouldn't work. She finally just put it FF.

I guess a bulkhead seat (as you said) or *maybe* an "economy plus" seat would work, but most coach plane seats don't have enough clearance to put the Radian RF.

If you can, though, definitely do it!

I would say yes, definitely keep her rear-facing on the plane. She'll sleep better too laying back instead of sitting upright if she was forward-facing. And, you'll be able to see her better (face to face) if you're right next to her, instead of leaning forward and turning your body to see a forward-facing child next to you. I just hope you get a seat that more space in front of it, like a front row. Those radians I think are pretty long and might smash up against the seat in front of it.

I definitely can't fit it RF in just any row, only a bulk head seat. It will fit in a bulk head for sure. I called the airline and asked for the measurements and then they said I can't RF if it impedes the seat in front of it and must be in a bulk head. Which is fine by me because then my kids can't constantly kick the seat in front of them :p
