I have a special needs child who is a small 8 year old. She has flown before twice in the past few months and not used any carseat on the plane--we did not use a car at the location we flew to.
This time we travel, we will be renting a car upon landing there. So we need to take our Britax Regent along. I am worried about it being damaged so would like to check it at the gate as people do strollers.
The problem is I have my hands full with just my autistic child! Much less lugginig around this large carseat & luggage. So I am searching for ways to bring it along easier.
We aren't flying experts and this is all new to us. I will be alone traveling with my daughter. I saw people somehow attaching smaller car seats onto rolling luggage. Is this an option for the larger Regent?
She has to be in a 5 pt harness car seat to be safe in vehicles so going without is not an option nor is a booster. She only weighs 53 lbs and 48 in tall. She would not sit still and would move around if not buckled in and possibly would climb onto the driver.
Any purchases to help with this need to be done soon so the item will be here in time before our trip. Any suggestions on something that would help us in this situation? We do not have a stroller as her weight OR height rules out most all strollers except double strollers.
Thank you
