[quote=Anonymous]Mine screamed bloody murder any time he was in the car seat for more then 5 minutes from 3 months to over a year (yes, it was awful). We ended up flying everywhere, including a "memorable" trip that involved me breaking my foot 2 days before, a five hour layover at O'Hare that turned into 8 hours, and then hobbling across O'Hare on that broken foot with a six month old in an umbrella stroller when they changed the gate at the last second. And honestly, baby was the least stressful part of that day!

You could have a very basic convertible car seat sent to your in-laws to install in their car. The Cosco Scenera is inexpensive. This why you don't have to drag a car seat through the airport.

Since you cloth diaper, I highly recommend putting cloth diaper covers over disposables! Covers contain blowouts far better than disposables alone. Saved so many outfits that way.

Bring a nursing cover, since baby does latch. Feeding on takeoff and landing helps alleviate ear pain from the pressure changes. Giving a bottle works, too, but baby might want to be snugged up against you for comfort.[/quote]
