Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I have searched and didn't find anything close enough to my situation.
We are flying for the first time with my daughter in Sept (she will be 3 at the time, turns 3 in June). I would really like to keep her in a carseat on the plane. I know she will be more comfortable and since she knows she has to stay strapped in her carseat I am hoping it will cut down on wiggling, wanting to get up, etc, and also I know it's much safer when you encounter turbulence, etc. And I'm thinking she will sleep in it also (only a 3 hour flight, but early morning going there and late coming home).
My problem is finding a seat that is narrow enough for a plane that she will fit into. Most of the information I can find is on younger babies. I would prefer not to buy a seat to only use once (but will if I have to). She is around 32 pounds and 37 inches tall. She is also about to outgrow her carseat in my mom's car (height wise) so I would love to find one I can use for the plane and then she can use to replace the one in my mom's car.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks so much for the help, I am completely overwhelmed with what to do!
