Hi all,
We are flying with 3 little kids, and connecting flights both ways. I have my kids in 2 ProRides and a ProSport. My choices for the plane are:
1. Take the 3 Recaros, and rent a minivan on arrival
2. Take the ProSport for my 3.5 yo, (40", 34 lbs) and buy 2 Sceneras or 2 Coccoros for the little ones (1 yo, one is 17 lbs, one is 21 lbs), and borrow my brother's 5 seater Dodge Journey.
The cheapest option is the Sceneras, followed by the minivan rental, followed by the Coccoros. The plus side of the Coccoros is they might fit in husband's Dodge Caliber, along with the older daughter's FFing Britax Advocate CS, making them useful beyond this trip. The plus side of the Sceneras is the $$. The plus side of renting a van is the comfort of knowing our seats.
So - the biggest question is how easy/hard is it to install any of these seats in an airplane? Since I'm going to be installing 3 seats in 4 legs of an airplane trip over 4 days, that might be the deciding factor.
Also - any thoughts on the car seat strap thing that attaches it to a rolling bad vs. strapping it to a luggage carrier would be appreciated.
Thanks so much!
