We are planning to travel by plane to a destination where we will either have a ride with friends or need a rental car. We will take DD's Britax on the plane, but I would like to find a lightweight harnessed booster for DS, which will also serve as a backup seat for home in case hubby or someone else needs to pick up from school. His Recaro is quite heavy for airport carry - though we could handle it...but since having a 2nd booster for home might make life easier anyway, I'm shopping.
The Nautilus would be my first choice for a backup seat, but I'm not sure it's going to be much more "portable" (weight-wise) than the Recaro for airport travel, especially if we are changing planes, etc. One option I've considered is having our friend meet us at the destination airport with the new seat I'll purchase...then we only have to deal with one car seat on the departing flight and two seats on the return trip.
DS is 5.5y, about 40 pounds, 44 inches, and we plan to keep him harnessed as long as possible. If I remember correctly, his Recaro is set to the highest harness slot, but he has a good bit of growing room beneath it.
