Hi,
I am planning on bringing my Britax Boulevard G3 on the plane and to use for the car rental for my 2.5 year old, which I think all would agree with. I have a CARES harness just in-case the fit is too tight. His 5-year old brother will be in the seat in front of him so no worry about reclining issues and leg room.
For my 5-year old (43lbs, 44"), he will just use the lap belt. At home he normally sites in a Britax Frontier or Graco Nautilus with harness (he is getting close to the shoulder limit of the Graco). When with Grandparents he is now using a Graco Affix highback booster, so we are bringing that with us. If we were doing any long car rides where he would sleep, I would consider lugging one of the harnessed seats, but we are only doing short drives nearby.
Should I consider bringing one of his normal big seats for a short 4-day trip?
I am also following the advise on everyone here and plan to gate check whatever I bring. If I were to check the Graco Nautilus, that would make things easier, but I would expect to get it back with cracked foam on the head and other unknown damage.
Thanks
