I'd forgotten about this thread -- I hope it is useful to people as they plan their trips.
To add to the list here, earlier this year we used a Britax Roundabout 40, rear facing (RF), in coach/economy class on the following:
- Air France, Boeing 777, middle seat of center section
- US Airways, Airbus 319, window seat
- Porter Airlines, Bombardier Dash 8 Q400, window seat
- Jet Blue, Embraer 190, window seat
No troubles with installation. Flight attendants on one of the Air France flights (but not the other) tried to prevent us from using the carseat, but ultimately OKed it once they checked their manual. On Porter they wanted to see "CMVSS 213" on the label but accepted my explanation that US seats don't have that label but are still approved by Transport Canada.
Happy (and safe) travels, everyone.
