Flying on US air

Trishbuch · Jun 23, 2013

We are flying with us air soon and I have a couple questions. We are Canadian but flying in the US, so our car seats will only have Canadian safety labels, will this matter? I was planning to take an evenflo generations with the internal harness. Also, I want to take a booster seat for my olde daughter, but I am concerned about checking it. I bought a new backless booster and am wondering if it would be safer to leave it packaged up ( as I bought it) in case it gets thrown around in cargo? Also, will I be allowed to check this without a fee?

Any advice would be appreciated!

As long as the seat has a government (any government) label saying it's approved for airline use, it's fine.

For the backless, I would probably just carry it on (not to use, but it should fit under the seat or overhead). If you check it, I don't believe they'll charge you.
