We are flying with our 2 year old, with an hour layover/plane change in each direction. We are debating on whether to put his car seat on the plane or get a harness. I think we will all be happier with him in his car seat once the plane gets going, but I have some concerns maybe you can help me with:
I'm worried about lugging his seat between gates to catch the second leg of our trip. It feels like we'll have a lot of stuff to manage at that time - bag of toys/snacks/diapers, stroller, kid, carseat, one other carry on. Anyone done all this before?
Will his Recaro Proride fit in the airplane seat in its full and upright position?
Are the FAA approved CARES harnesses safe? Easy to install?
If we check the car seat, will it be handled with care?
I have so many thought swirling my head - I should have paid the extra $$$ for a direct flight!!!
