My husband will be flying SW with our 2.5 year old and her stroller, my MIL - who was kind enough to travel with them - and 2 God forsaken cats as 2 carryons in their kennels. Back to carry ons later.
Now, we have 2 radians, so we can have one already folded up and ready to carry. To make things simple, I'd assume that we'd use two straps on the back and have hubs carry it in his back, so he could use his hands to carry the cats. My mil would push Babs in the stroller. We don't like to waste money, and I would assume we'd only fly once a year with the baby, or so, so I wouldn't want to spend money on that car seat carrier. What is your experience carrying the rxt/backpack mode our any other method?
Also, the two cats count as carry ons. So, with the 3, they're allowed one more carry on and their "smaller item" each. Does the car seat count as a carry on? Have you had hassle boarding the plane - wait - imagine the chaos - sitting in your plane seat, settling in when you look up to see this crazy group carrying 2 loathsome cats, the best baby, and a car seat on this poor man's back - okay, so back to question.- what trouble are we getting ourselves into? I know we're doing earlybird check in. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks for reading!
