Hello all,

We are heading to Ireland in April and I plan on bringing boosters for my 5 1/2 yr old twins. Jools had recommended the B510s and I'm trying to figure something out. I know they have a carrying case but is the case standard when you order it? It looks like some sites (Target, One Step Ahead, Amazon) offer it as an "extra". I thought the case was automatically included???

And also, boosters are not able to be used on the plane right? I'm trying to figure out how to get them on the plane with us but Aer Lingus is really strict on cabin baggage.

Thanks!

Not sure if you will be able to get them on the plane but you may be able to gate check them. Not the best but better than checking them with baggage. Have a great trip.

Only the B510 "Premiere" comes standard with the carry case, otherwise you have to order it separately.

Thanks for clarifying that for me. I'll be sure to look for that when ordering. Doesn't seem like the Camo pattern (which I'm sure my DS would love) comes in a Premier version. Of course DD will want pink.

Thanks again!

Right, the Camo didn't come with the bag (but my dd insisted on Camo ).

I love that she insisted on Camo!

Does anyone have a favorite site that they like for buying seats?

We have the Daisy. It's really cute, and not overwhelmingly pink. I think the brown helps balance it out.

If you're ordering them new, you could always transport them in their original shipping boxes.

Happy shopping!

Actually the shipping box has a handle so you can shlep it around, IIRC.

Kiwi Kids website has them for the cheapest I've seen and with FREE Fedex shipping.
Total with the bag is $99.94
Which is basically the same as the Premier seat with a free bag.

I agree that Daisy is not overwhelmingly pink--I really, really liked it. :thumbsup: There's little bits of pastel green mixed in with the daisy print, and soft brown fabric interspersed with the pink fabric. It's a well-balanced, fashionable seat, not TOO MUCH at all.
