I'm flying to California with my 3 month old and my dad in a few weeks, and plan to take her Combi Coccoro. I've practiced installing it with the seatbelt in my car, but my car (Dodge Caliber) has automatic locking retractors, so I haven't used the lockoff. It doesn't seem like the airplane seatbelts do a very good job of staying tight, so should I be using the lockoff there? I haven't seen any instructions about this online.
Also, would it be a good idea to ask for a seatbelt extender?
I haven't needed the pool noodle in the car, but should I bring one just in case?
And I use the top tether in the car and it seems much more secure, I guess there's no way to tether in the plane, right?
What are the chances that the seat in front of baby will be able to recline?
I bought the Coccoro specifically because it works well in planes, but both my parents and in-laws have Chicco Keyfits that they and my husband are encouraging me to take instead. I already got my own way by buying the baby her own ticket, should I de-stubborn and take an infant seat even though I dislike those buckets? If so, any special advice on install?
Finally, I have no hope of finding a Flash stroller frame, do I. They're not going to release the new one in time, and the only ones I can find on Ebay are Flash EX which doesn't fit the Coccoro I don't think. I'll just bring my Moby and not worry about a stroller - we have a fancy Orbitbaby G2 at home and even that only gets used once a week or so. If I brought a Keyfit I could bring its stroller too but we're already carting along a PacknPlay and I don't love the idea of another huge heavy item.
Thoughts? Sorry for so many questions, I want this to go smoothly! Thanks in advance!!
