Baby #1 is due April 3rd. The first weekend in June we're flying to Colorado for a friend's wedding. We're planning to buy a seat, use the KF on board, and check the keyfit caddy at the gate. We'll also have the base as carry on. We'll probably be flying United.
I came across a thread about successful installs that I think made mention about some infant seat that was able to be installed with the base. I do know how to install the seat baseless, but am more comfortable installing with it. Do you think the seat can be installed on either of these airlines with the base? Looking at flights so far it looks like the jets we'll most likely be on either an Airbus 320 (3 seats either side of center aisle) or the Canadair 700 (2 seats either side of center aisle). Also...where would you try to sit on either of these jets? I'm thinking more towards the rear (nearer the restroom)...
Any other tips? So far the flights I've found are non-stop from San Antonio to Denver (we'll drive a rental car from Denver to the Springs), but some of the flights also stopped in Salt Lake City. I plan to have the moby wrap for in the airport, but know I can't use it on the flight. Plan to feed and change as close to boarding as possible to keep the kid buckled in the seat as much as possible through the flight.
This trip is a good learning experience for us. We'll also be flying to IL the first weekend in July and plan to use any tips picked up from the first trip.
