Check out the Cosco Scenera. It's super lightweight. The only issue I've found using it on the plane is that you have to be in the bulkhead seats to rear-face it but other than that it's a great, cheap, lightweight seat. I think it weighs about 8 or 9 lbs and depending on the version you get it's between $40 and $60 so you can't get cheaper.

I have the Graco Nautilus 3-in1 car seat. I bought the Brica Roll 'n Go & it was a lifesaver going through the airports with my 2-year-old granddaughter. I would recommend this item to others.

I have seen a universal type stroller thing that should work there are also backpack type bags for them! We just pulled out the straps and had my hubs backpack it through but if you plan to travel quite a bit it would be helpful to purchase something else! It's a VERY lightweight seat!!

I haven't done it personally with this booster specifically, but did travel with a convertible car seat with no problem. We actually bought an affordable model specifically for travel in case the airline lose or damage it.

We're still using it here in Brasil especially when the sun's out, our son seems to be fine, He sweats alot in his car baby seat even with the AC running..It's still far better than the other equivalents here, folds away nicely and easily, it's light weight and still has room for his things underneath the seat. It also seams to be easier to maneuver than most of its peers out there for the money..

I would think you could use this on a small plane like a Cessna etc. which is similar in size to an automobile seat but I'm not familiar with the cushion's flammability characteristics as required by FAA standards. I would guess if it's safe for a car it would be acceptable in an aircraft. I find it very comfortable and have used it in my car for several weeks now. It's not that expensive and you could always return it if it doesn't fit.

When we lived overseas, I used to bring it on our trips home for my son. I had a car seat travel bag by Eddie Bauer and I could put the aerobed in the car seat and both in the bag and zip it up. If you went to the bother of folding it flat, you could probably get it in a traditional rectangle suitcase, but it would have to be at least a 26inch suitcase (I think). The motor is not large, no bigger than a football - so it is mostly in how you fold the rest of it.

Yes, it is certified for aircraft travel. I went to the website for you. http://www.britaxusa.com/car-seats/b-safe

This seat is heavy and pretty big. I wouldn't want to lug it around on an airplane because it doesn't have a big handle for easy carrying. It is sure comfortable inside of the vehicle though.

It is small; the tube and the arm (the black part holding up the tube) could be packed away in the foam in the box it came in and put into a carry-on, which would be the only way to fly with it. But the legs would have to be checked. On the other hand, if it's a long car trip you're talking about then yes, no problem, it's very portable.

I've used mine on a plane. No car seat is really easy on a plane, I guess. The hardest part was just getting it down the aisle. But it was well worth it. My kiddo slept the whole flight.

Yes, it is very lightweight (vinyl construction) - because of the soft-sides it fits well under airline seats.

We carried it on very easily, though we're did double it up in our car seat bag with our younger child's FAA-compliant seat, which was in use in the plane. It's extremely lightweight, though, so if you have a bag it fits in, it doesn't make things ungainly. I've never used the Bubble Bum, but have heard from others that it's pretty uncomfortable. This one got no such complaints.

I bought the better seats and I am glad I did. I have not sat in the cheaper ones but they are pretty comfortable and I like the zipper compartments in the back, it's a great place to stow the air caps.

The easiest way is to put the chair face forward and pass the airline safety belt through the slots on the back of the chair. The chair is quite light and compact. I was traveling overseas alone with my one-year old, and was able to carry both the baby and the chair (and a diaper bag, and a backpack and a stroller) I still keep this chair for future flights.
