We are flying to CA for Thanksgiving. We went last year at Christmas, and had a SecureKid there for my oldest. Box was accidentally tossed, so it didn't make the trip home with us and is still sitting at my friend's house, so we'll be able to use it again this year and hopefully bring it home to have as a backup seat.
All that said, is it okay for our 5 year old to fly out there without a carseat, and then use the SecureKid for the trip home?? He's 5 1/2, but very small for his age-- 37" tall and 31-32lbs. Is he safe on the plane like that? If its better that we fly with his Maestro, will our 8 year old be able to use the SecureKid on the plane to get it home? I'd planned on just taking his Turbobooster for in the car while there. Or, do we take the Maestro and gate check the SecureKid on the return trip? I don't have a bag or anything for it and really don't have extra money to buy one.
What's the safest option for both of our kids?
Thanks for the help!
