Flying solo with a 3.8 yo and 8 mo. Shall i take a carseat for my baby on the plane?
Flying solo with a 3.8 yo and 8 mo. Flight is 4 hours.
I have a stroller where I can put both infant car seat (if the baby still fits in it, shes 6mo now and 10kg already) and a seat. It makes it super bulky and im concerned about how i will disassemble it for security with a baby (im planning on putting her in ring sling) and a toddler.
I got 3 seats for us. Shall I take car seat on the plane? Baby is ok with it in the car, but im not sure how its going to go on a plane.
With this company you must hold your baby for take off and landing. So im wondering if car seat is just going to take up space and I honestly dont know how ill manage physically to bring it inside the plane. Its going to be flight bus boarding, so I can take stroller up until we get to the trap of the plane, disassemble it there and check it in. Then I have to carry baby, car seat, and hopefully my toddler will be happy to walk herself. She loves planes and usually there are no issues with her when flying. She is potty trained, but from our experience, her belly does weird things at take off and landing and she confuses it with needing to go to the toilet. Which is another fear of mine - toilet on the plane.
We flew with the baby one time before and she had a blowout at taking off and at landing, which is another concern.
Another option is not to take car seat at all and then at the airport I put my baby in the seat and my toddler can sit in the "trunk part" of the stroller, not sure how its called. I also read that its not recommended to check it car seat, because it might make it unsafe for travelling.
Happy to hear your experiences, thoughts and recommendations!
