Another which seat should I take thread

The kids and I fly out in about a week. We have a short flight, 30 min layover (ha!) and then a longer flight. So obviously when it is time to get off the first flight, I need to be able to get moving fast. I can't decide if I want to take the Radian or the TFP. I have flown with the Radian before and loved it. I have never flown with the TFP. But I wore the Radian backpack style last time, and this time I am considering using a luggage cart (the last flight lands super late at night, and I would like to be able to pull one sleeping kid through the airport). If I install either the Radian or the TFP on a luggage cart, can I wheel the whole deal down the aisle? Or is the TFP too wide for the airplane aisle? And how does the TFP install on the airplane?

The TFP is quite wide. It won't wheel down the aisle, and you'll probably have to turn it sideways to carry it. It will fit on the airplane but it will require an armrest up (no bulkhead seat!) and you won't be very comfortable if you're in the middle seat next to it (since you'll have about half a seat left.) Whether the Radian will go down the aisle will depend on the aisle, as well as whether there are people already seated when you board, etc.

Thanks KQ! I think I have decided to take the Radian since it is narrower. I can either backpack it or attach to a luggage cart depending on what mood my 4yr old is in ;) And i know it installs well and gives me plenty of room to sit next to it.
