Thanks to everyone for the recommendations about which seat to take on our flight. In preparation, I re-read the manual for our Roundabout 40 and the instructions for RF, lap belt installation.
The manual is very skimpy on aircraft installation and a few things are still unclear to me. First, do I need to use the lock-offs? I thought I could skip that since airplane seatbelts can be manually tightened.
Second, where is the buckle supposed to sit once everything is tightened -- on top of the seat near baby's legs, or below that near the lock-off? If the latter, am I likely to need a belt extender? On my last flight, I took a good look at the seatbelt at it seemed awfully short to get through the belt path, but I could not be sure.
Ideally, I'd like to practice this beforehand but I don't have access to a vehicle with lap-only belts.
