Hi there,
I am based in the UK and will be travelling to Brazil in January with my 10 month old daughter. I have paid for a seat on the flight and would like to buy a car seat that will be accepted on the flight. Air France have specified the seat must be approved for air travel and no wider than 42 cm or 16.5 inches. I checked the actual flight on seat guru and the seats are 17 inches wide. I am struggling to find a seat available in the UK that is not too wide, the Britax Eclipse was recommended as a very narrow seat, but this is still over 17 inches wide and I am concerned it won't fit. Consequently I am looking at the possibility of importing an American seat.
We will be doing a lot of travelling over the next couple of years in Europe as well as South America, so I am looking for a narrow car seat that will be accepted on all planes and easy to fit into rental cars.
Thanks so much for any help!
Chris
