We have flown often since DS was born. Until recently we'd been using a Roundabout but that was outgrown by height this Fall and now I have a Marathon as our travel seat. Last week, I installed it FF for the first time on the plane because during our last trip he was so uncomfortable during flight that he kicked/cried the entire flight (both legs) begging to get out. Well, I hate the Marathon on the plane FF. His long legs were all over the seat in front of us, constantly kicking the poor woman. I spent the whole flight trying to get him to stop. This Marathon is our travel seat only. Our main seat is a BLVD and he still rides RF in our vehicles.
I have someone who I can sell my new Marathon to if I can find a satisfactory replacement. My biggest concerns are the ability to get a good install in rental vehicles as each trip brings on a different set of circumstances.
DS's stats are 23months, 31.5lbs, 35.5" long. I am not against FF him on trips in the vehicles if a combo seat would be the most comfortable for him on the plane. I'm due with Baby #2 in May and don't anticipate any flights in the next 6 months, by which I'm sure he'll be at/near 33lbs by then. Cost is not really a factor. As a tech, I know I can get a Radian at discount, so that has been my lead contender. Just curious what other options I should consider. I will keep him harnessed as long as possible, even if that means buying another seat in the future. So really I'm looking for the "NOW" solution, not a long term solution.
