I traveled with my toddler and his car seat last year on a plane and it was a nightmare. I had a chicco umbrella stroller and a CA seat. The seat didn't fit in the stroller and I had to carry a bunch of stuff and my DS. I currently have a Jetta Sportwagen and have the CA and an onside RF next to each other. They touch and the Onside in the center seat leans a little. I am adopting a relative's infant in WA and have to fly from TX to WA every 4 weeks. I really LOVED the idea of the folding Radian to carry as a backpack and was devastated to see that I couldn't RF it on the plane. My infant will be 2 weeks shy of 12 months for the first flight.
I wanted to replace one of the current seats with the Radian so that the middle child doesn't lean (the seat fits very tightly). My toddler wants to be able to touch his new baby sister, so I want to keep them seated next to each other. I can only justify the Radian if I can use the folding feature for traveling. I can't take another adult with me and I am considering using the CARES Harness for my toddler.
Would you fly your 11 1/2 month old FF? She is just over 20lbs. I have been searching the other threads all day about the radians and flying. I really don't want to take the stroller or a luggage cart. I would prefer to wear the baby and the seat thru the airport and let my toddler walk. Thanks for your input!
