I am taking off to the states tomorrow because of what dh has done so I am coming home to the Bay area and Phoenix for a month w/ the kids any way ds is 5.5 y/o and weigh 45lbs maybe more. Should I lug his Graco Nauti or should I let him use the Graco HB that I have? I did not have time to get pre approval to use his seat on the plane.

I just booked my seats today!

Thanks

If he does ok in the HB I'd probably bring that. If he'd prefer the Nautilus I'd probably bring that and gate check it if they don't allow it (is that a real risk?). The slight recline on the Nautilus with the plane's recline may make sleeping a little easier for him, it may not. But if you think he'll be fidgeting either on the plane or in the car here bring the Nautilus. If you think he'd do just fine in the HBB then I'd bring that.

I just know what a pain it is to carry and I have to go through 3 airports on the way and a couple of local trips then back to Au and I would hate for it to get lost or damaged, at least I could put the HB back in my suitcase and the bottom on the plane w/ me.

I'd bring the booster. The trip is going to be stressful enough without a car seat to add to the mix, especially since you might not be able to use it.
