So we are thinking about flying to Florida to go to Disney. We will be staying in a house with some friends so we would need car seats for the kids. If we fly it will most likely be southwest because I can get the best deal on tickets for 4 with them. DS is 7.5 and riding in a booster so I was just planning on packing a backless for him in one of the suitcases. DD is 3.5 and FFing in a TF Roundabout50 and a Nautilus. What seat would you take for her? She rides in the TF in my car, the roundabout in my MIL's car and she rarely rides with DH but when she does it is in the Nautilus. Also would you put your 7.5 year old DS in a backless if he normally rides in a high back booster daily?

Are you open to buying another seat for your daughter, or are you deciding between the two you have?
I would be fine with a backless for the 7-year-old.

If you're deciding amongst the seats you have, I'd take the RA50. Easiest to install in lots of cars and probably fits better on an airplane than the TF.
I would be fine with a 7 y/o in a backless on vacation. My 5.5-year-old was in a backless on vacation. She was just fine (she rides in a highback booster most of the time).

Thanks, I didn't think of that. I would hope the baggage would make it on a nonstop flight I guess you never know.
It generally does, but I've had 2 trips within the past year where at least one of our suitcases was delivered to our hotel 12 hours after we arrived. I find it easier to just make sure that I have whatever seats I need at my destination on the plane with me (I do sometimes check boosters in luggage on the way home because I don't need them in my car at home).
When are you going? You could join us for the drive in August
We are going in March. We might still drive, we haven't decided yet. If we drive I might DS a FR85 that I will then hand down to DD after the Disney. Just like a bought a used BJCMD because DS and DD fight over the stroller and I want a stress free vacation if that is possible.
