Nautilus on American Airlines

I would like to get some feedback from anyone who has had to fly coach on American with a Graco Nautilus. My DD is 4 and 39lbs, so forward facing is preferable. Does the seat fit? Our DS (18 mons, 30 lbs) DD's two seats now are Nautilus and Britax Decathalon. DS uses Britax Boulevard and the Scenera. I'd really love to not have to buy ANOTHER seat to be effective on the plane and in the rental car for our trip.

Any insight? Previous experiences?

Thanks!

I've seen pictures of the Nautilus installed on planes. It looked like if fit very well, the armrest probably needs to be up, but that's pretty typical. If you're concerned just bring the Decathalon for your DD. We've flown many times with our Marathon and never had a problem with it fitting (FF at least).

My two kids and I went on 4airplanes total through Us Airways in June. I had no problem installing the Graco Nautilus on any of them. We went on a small plane and a big plane.

Whatever you take, make sure you know where exactly the label is that says certified for use in aircraft. When you're trying to board and the gate agent asks to see the sticker is not when you want to start hunting for it. Trust me, BTDT.

THANK YOU for all the responses. I may take the decathalon (for DS) and the nautilus (for DD) since the feedback is they have both fit per your experiences... The scenara just isn't that comfortable...

Anyway, thank you again.
