[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have only done this with an infant carseat, but I brought it and strapped it in rear facing. There was barely enough room for it in the seat. I can't imagine front vs. rear facing makes a difference in a plane. Also, the security people at Dulles were totally clueless as to how to get the carseat through the scanner. It barely fit and took forever. It was like they'd never dealt with a carseat before.[/quote]

How long ago was this?  We have had no trouble at Dulles or SFO in the last two years.

FYI to OP, you don't take your kids through the body image scanners (safety concerns aside, they don't stand still for it).  Instead, your whole family goes through the metal detector and, if you're carrying milk or food pouches, those will get inspected and one or more of adults will probably get swabbed and/or patted down.  It takes a little more time but personally I think it's easier and everyone at TSA has been very kind and understanding.  If they can they will open a new security line for you because families take so long to get all their stuff screened.[/quote]
