Has anyone had recent experience flying Turkish Air and successfully getting their 5-point harness seat onboard? I read a few posts that said they were challenged when boarding. Our 6yo still fits in his Radian RXT, but the web site says that only kids 2yo and under may travel with a car seat.
I'd rather not have our seat taken away and gate-checked - if it seems unlikely that we will be allowed to take our seat, what would you suggest for car travel at the other end? We will be renting cars for travel in Bodrum, Turkey, and also for drives around the hill towns outside Rome, Italy for another leg of our trip, so I'd like to have a nice sturdy option. DS is still on the small side for his age (about 49 in/125cm, 40 lbs.), so we could bring a Bubble Bum, but I am debating the practicality/wisdom of bringing a high-back booster and checking it in our luggage. (Somehow I feel better about packing a seat - disassembled - in a suitcase, surrounded by clothes, than handing over a 'naked' seat to gate staff.)
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!
