Hi Everyone!
We are taking our 23 month old son on a plane for the first time next week 2/18 and need your input. We are flying United in the economy plus section (our son has his own seat) round trip from Ohio to Florida and will be bringing a car seat for our rental car on our vacation. We are not sure if we should bring our Britax Advocate or our Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite on the plane. I believe our Britax will not fit even though it is "approved" for air travel but we prefer this seat. Also, we were not sure if we should bring a CARE harness as well incase we can't use the car seat due to size? Would there be a place onboard where the car seat could be stored as United will not allow you to check car seats at the gate as you would a stroller? It seems that the CARE harness may be better as it would allow our son to be in the middle seat between us instead of in the window seat but if there's not a place to store our car seat, what then?! I greatly appreciate any info and words of wisdom on this subject! Thanks so much!!!
