[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you figure it's too much? Are you quoting airport regs or just trying to make OP feel bad?

Each person is allowed a carryon (pull bag) and a personal item (mom's backpack). The diaper bag and carseat don't count, and the carseat will probably be gate-checked anyhow. Even if the diaper bag did count, it would be dad's personal item. [/quote]

Not trying to make the OP feel bad.   I'm assuming she has a conscience and would feel bad about being selfish.  I'm trying to prevent that.

On the past several flights I have been on, MANY passengers were forced to gate check their carry ons because there is simply not enough room for everyone to bring multiple carry ons and store them in the over head compartment.   On one flight I recently took, neither myself, nor my traveling companion were allowed a single carry on because everyone else had already taken up all the room.   So it DOES bother me when I see someone planning to take more than one carry on per person to put in the overhead compartment, as the OP does.
From what I've always read/heard, a "personal item" is supposed to be small, like a purse.   Since OP specifies that the backpack will be kept with them (as opposed to the overhead bin), I'm assuming she is planning on putting the diaper bag in the overhead bin.   Plus with 3 people in only 2 seats (which is a whole other level of selfishness...) its unlikely they will have their coats on their laps/under their seat--I'm sure OP is planning to put those in the overhead bin as well, etc.[/quote]
