I'm considering a RSTV for an upcoming trip for DS1 (6yrs, 41-42lbs), and would love input on the plan, as well as experiences with use of one since I really don't know much at all about them.
Regularly, DS1 rides in either a FR85 or Performance Booster depending on the day/trip. We have an upcoming trip that will begin as a long road trip, then a flight, followed by more driving. Then will be reversed for return home. I'm not comfortable with him in the booster for the first part of the trip because I know he will be sleeping some, so we will head out with the FR85.
I don't, however, want to take a seat for him on the plane. He will need something after the flight though for a fair amount of driving. I know carrying on a no back booster on the plane would be easy, but I just don't think he is ready for that "freedom" driving on the other end, and I know he wouldn't stay in position if he fell asleep. Thus I was thinking of taking an RSTV in the carry-on and using that in the rental vehicle for that portion of the trip.
Would that work well? Is there something obvious I am missing? Do they work well? If in a vehicle with center shoulder/lap belt, would it work next to a ff Sureride?
Thank you!
