I'm flying tomorrow, and have been trying to figure this out, but I'm stumped and need some help.
So, here's the dealio. I'm flying alone tomorrow, with my 2 year old. I have a Radian XT and a Scenera. Which do I bring on the plane. As you can see in my siggy my daughter is almost 28 months (on the 3rd). She weighs roughly 28 lbs, and is right around 33ish inches. I'm HUGE on keeping her RF as long as possible, and with no exceptions except when absolutely necessary. A plane seems like a pretty necessary time to be having her RF, but I will not be getting lucky and sitting in the front seats that don't have seats in front of them (handicap seats?)...So, what do I do? What would you do?
Here's what I've figured out so far
My problem with checking the Radian is that it has the wings. Do you think since the Radian is so sturdy, and everything, it would be fine. I would worry about cracks in other seats, like the Scenera. That thing would just crumble under baggage. Or any other seat that doesn't fold. I don't think I'm so worried about it cracking, as I am about the wings, since they stick up. Do you think it would be safe? I don't have the carrying bag, but I have a suitcase I could put it in.
Alright, I think that's it. What do you guys think?

I FF her on the plane in the Radian, simple as that.
I RF her on the plane in the Scenera, but by doing this I check the Radian (not gate check, though. Like CHECK it. I called and they won't let me bring the seat to the gate to check it there)
