Traveling by plane with a three month old and a chicco fit2. We will purchase a seat for the baby and fly with the fit2. From what I have read, we can’t install the base on the airplane seat and I believe the rebound bar part of the base will make it so we can’t fit the base in the overhead compartment. I’m hesitant to check the base because I have heard of damage occurring. I’m also hesitant to to travel without the base. Even though the fit2 has European path for baseless install, we will be in and out of the car very frequently and driving in potentially icy/snowy conditions. I worry that we wouldn’t get a good install every time based on how much we’d be in and out, but maybe this isn’t as difficult/time consuming as I’m making it out to be? Also we will have a rental car and it may not have a shoulder belt or a belt that automatically locks in the center. Do all recent cars have these things? I’m a first time mom and would be very appreciative of any advice and help!
