Ladies,
We're taking a last minute vacation to the Bahamas and my Chicco Nextfit won't arrive until after we get back. My 24 month old is still in her Chicco Keyfit 30 but she's right at the height limit and since she's so big I cannot install without the base b/c the belt goes across her legs. I just flew with her and was given a lot of trouble on one flight about the seat being rear-facing. I brought the heavy base and used it on the airplane even though the manual says to install without the base on airplanes. It was such a pain to get everything on the plane. I don't want any hassle on our 4 flights to and from the Bahamas.
I want to buy a convertible seat to forward-face on the airplane but rear-face on the taxi rides. Most seats seem to require pool noodles for proper rear-facing installation. Are there any narrow convertibles that would easily install in the taxis rear-facing without the need for towels and pool noodles? Something that fits well in smaller cars and is narrow so it will fit in an airplane seat easily?
Thanks for your help!
