Hi everyone, this is my first post and I tried finding the answer to my question before posting but had no luck...I hope this isn't one of those repeat questions!
My husband, 4 year old daughter and I air travel several times a year. My daughter recently outgrew our "travel" carseat that was really lightweight and worked great for our vacations.
At this point, we would love to buy a 5-point booster seat that is great for travel. (our daughter is 40lbs and 42"). This booster would also replace the car seat in my husband's car so we want something that will work long-term for when my daughter moves out of the 5-point.
We will not be taking the seat on the plane, we will be gate checking it. But it would be great to find one that's not horrible to get through the airport, is fairly easy to install and that will fit in almost any car/van.
I was leaning towards the Diono Radian R100 because it folds and can be worn as a backpack, but then a couple folks mentioned it's unusable as a booster seat.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Money really isn't an issue if we can find a seat that meets our needs!
