Ok, I know I have talked about this before, but I need to figure out what to do. I have three kids:
1. 44", 38lb 6.5 year old. Rides boostered at home. I really, really want her in a harnessed seat on the plane because last time I flew with her, she was miserable and couldn't sleep on the plane in just a lap belt.
2. 41", 30 lb 4.75 year old. Rides harnessed in a Pro Sport at home.
3. 33", 21 lb 2.5 year old. Rides RF in a Complete Air at home.
We leave at 2am, and they need to be able to sleep on the plane.
I have the following seats available: ProSport, EFTA, Complete Air, Radian XTSL, Coccoro, Scenera (and Turbo and Parkway).
My original plan was to buy a Frontier for the 6 year old, but we just can't swing it financially right now. She can squeeze into the ProSport, barely, but I have no idea if that will work on the plane. I might be able to borrow a Frontier for the trip, but is that feasible? I know it will physically fit, but is it going to be a huge PITB to carry through the airport and use?
I think I'll take the Scenera for the 4 year old, if she still fits. It would be pretty close, I think, as she's on the top slots of the ProSport and Radian. Otherwise I'll take the Complete Air for her (serious Radian travel hate here).
DS is very, very close to outgrowing the CCO, but I think I'll try to squeeze him into it for the trip.
I have a rolling luggage cart, and a double Mountain Buggy. I'm trying to figure out how to get them all through the airport. We have a very small airport and we won't have to walk very far here, but we transfer in Seattle and will likely have to walk with three cranky tired kids, and their seats. Would it make sense to bring the stroller? We have the carry bag for it, if that makes a difference.
