britax Frontier 90 on air plane?

corrielainedd · Oct 27, 2014

We are flying Wednesday, i planned on taking my 2 Radians, but wonder if the Frontier 90 is usable? I read on Britax's website it is FAA approved. Is there a FAA sticker on it? Ive been asked every time ive flown w seats to show the sticker.
Is it wide in the seat? Or ok?
Im almost 7m pregnant, so will be toting 2 car seats, bags, 2 kids, etc.

What would you take? 2 radians, or radian & frontier?
Vehicle space at destination is not an issue (van).

Are you comfortable that the Radians will install in the car at your destination? If so, I'd definitely so 2 Radians over Frontier. I've owned both. The Frontier is a beast! If hate to lug that anywhere.

I know my Frontier says not approved for airline use, but Britax has since said it's OK to use but I don't know when the change was made on the stickers.
Having said that, I'd definitely take the Radians instead since they fold and all!

There would never be a reason for me to take a FR on a plane. Never. Never ever ever. Way too much of a beast of a seat.

I would use the RNs

I wouldn't use my Frontier on a plane, no way man. I'd use your Radians or pick up an Evenflo Sureride.

At 7 months pregnant, I'd be putting anyone under 4/4.5 in an Evenflo SureRide and anyone over that and mature enough in a booster with the back portion packed with the luggage for anyone under 6/anyone who sleeps a lot. This is just me, though. Radians are heavy, I cannot fathom someone toting two at 7 months along. Definitely wouldn't take a FR. Not a chance. It's huge.

Oh man I completely missed the 7m preggo part! What she said ^^

Taking 2 seats (radians) & being preg isnt really an issue. I have a luggage cart thing that will carry the radians to the plane.
Last time, i had a flight attendant carry one seat to our row, and i carried the other. I *could* have my mom (whom we are visiting) just buy a cheap convertible & a booster (girls are 4 & 6 buy pretty small).. But Im not ok with that.
And Im not going to fork out more $ on seats Ill never use again.
I can easily carry both Radians myself, even preg.

Thanks for the thoughts on the Frontier. I love that seat, but agree, its kinda bulky :/
