DD and DH are going on a trip to Minnesota to visit grandparents this winter (without me). I'm trying to plan what car seat DD will be using. They will be flying there. DD is 40 lbs, 45", and 6yo at time of trip. Not sure what cars this will be installed in.
I'm looking into the Harmony folding booster. This is the booster DD has at her other grandma's house (I'd have to buy another though). Is this small enough to be a carry-on on the plane? The reason I ask is because I really want to unbox the booster myself, set it up, and practice with DH a bit. I don't want to ship it straight to MIL's and just hope she's done her best when she shows up with it at the airport. She's old school and there's just a million reasons why I won't have her in charge of that. If not a carry-on, would it be safe as checked luggage?
The other thing I was thinking was maybe that harness vest thingy.. can't think of the name at the moment. Would that be easy for DH to use? If I recall, it's a little more $ than I want to spend but if it'd be easiest/safest then I'd be ok
My other option would be bringing her Radian. I don't know if that's going to fly with DH, ha. Super heavy for him to lug through the airport, and I don't know that he'd be able to get a great install. Misuse might be a big issue with grandma as well.
Any other things I'm not thinking of?
