We're taking a 4 hr flight. DD wants head support for sleeping. I told her she'd have to use a harnessed seat and she's cool with that. The problem comes from the fact that she's too tall for anything other than the FR 85 or 90.
Technically she fits in the Maestro I got for DS since she's 48 lbs and her shoulders are just under the top strap setting, but her shoulders hit the head support and she asked me to move the headrest up since it's not comfortable.
Do I take the 85 even though I really don't want to because I'm traveling with 6 kids, and the less stuff I have the better? We will have 3 adults, and my older 2 boys will be helping as well but still. Or do I just tell her to suck it up on the plane and take the folding booster for her like I'd originally planned? Would the SK's headrest move out of her way enough? I hate to buy a seat for one trip though. I only bought the Maestro cause I got a good deal from NBD and it'll be a great back up seat for him and my nephew.
She really wants to take the FR 90 but it's not FAA approved.
