Ok, I already did this before, but I am still beating this thing around in my head. Sorry to duplicate a bit but I am getting a bit clearer on the details and have a couple more seat options...
I will be travelling to Europe with LOT Polish airlines. The seat width on the 767 is listed as 18.7 inches on seatguru.com. I am 99.9% sure I will be able to use DS2's seat no problem, but not sure at all if I will get to use a seat for DS1 as their policy info is useless to nonexistent.
I have reserved 2 of the CARES harnesses, but I am still debating using seats on board (I probably will for DS2 but may not for DS1 even if I can, and use the harness instead so he has more freedom?) and I will still need seats at my destination. I would rather not check seats partly scared of damage and also scared of them just not arriving if luggage gets lost. The driving there is scary to say the least so I really want to have good seats with good installs. It would be nice if they had EPS foam at least...
DS2 needs tall slots, he doesn't fit in the AOEs or the Sceneras. He will likely still be under 40 lbs or just over.
I have available:
3 AOEs (probably not the best of all my choices, and wide?? or are they any worse than the MA?)
2 Radians (compatibility issues? + heavy!)
2 Marathons (is the cowmoo too eye-catching? see * below)
1 True Fit (too big...)
1 Traditions (meh)
2 Sceneras (wish they had EPS foam and more padding)
I could also buy a Safety 1st Avenue (for $150+tax :thumbsdown.
I am also alternately considering buying one or two Britax Two Ways and having it/them shipped to my family there, and then leaving it/them for my cousins' kids as a gift.
* I am totally paranoid that someone will steal my seats out of (or with) the vehicle while we are there (theft is rampant).
What would you do?
I wish I wasn't so debilitatingly indecisive!
