So we just returned from another flying trip, and have four days at home before we fly again. I'm seriously thinking about the wisdom of carrying my seats on board (not suggesting at all DS should travel as a lap baby - not that he could any more anyway.)
I bashed that poor seat around running from one end of the terminal to the other to catch our connections. I'm rougher than I'd like to be on board with it because of time pressure, and also at the other end when I'm putting it in the car. I seriously wonder if even the worst baggage handler in the world could damage my seat any more than I might.
Part of my problem this trip around was that DH forgot the luggage cart for the seat, and we did a "carry-on only" trip (which means we had the maximum amount of carry-on per person.) and DS missed his nap, AND we were late to the airport. This meant I had to RUN through the airport with a child who wouldn't walk and didn't want to be carried (but had to be) carrying both his luggage and mine AS WELL AS the darn heavy Radian. It was the trip from h#ll.
The CARES harness (and a checked carseat) is looking more and more appealing.
Thanks for "listening"
