I just wanted to update on our travel situation. I posted awhile back about not being able to decide which seat to take on the plane/install in a Geo Prizm. My choices were MA, Como, or RN XT. I ended up buying an Uptown a few weeks ago, to use instead. The thing was a dream. Seriously. A dream. Easy to cart around the airport, easy to install in the planes, easy to install in the Prizm. The only downside was that I had a pool noodle in my suitcase to install in the car. Well, they searched my luggage at some point and zip-tied it shut. :thumbsdown:
No scissors at the airport, so I couldn't get my noodle out. I ended up rolling my Yamo(baby carrier) and using it like a towel, and I got an acceptable install. However, that was only temporary and I'll be replacing it with the noodle tomorrow. Anyway, here are a couple of pics from our journey from FL to CT.
UT on an Airbus 319
UT and sleeping baby on an Embraer 170
Even though the seat was very upright, we had no head slump issues once we got leveled off. My DS, god bless him, was asleep before we were even taxi-ing down the runway for takeoff. Some of you know my struggles with this kiddo in the car. He hardly ever sleeps in his seats unless he's sick. I think he's gonna be a great little flier, though. This was his 7th and 8th plane(minus my dad's Cessna). He was just as good as gold and the other passengers around us were very complimentary. I also didn't have any trouble from the FA's about RF. :thumbsup:
