[quote=Anonymous]There's no great answer here, in my opinion. We just flew to CA with our 3 year old a few weeks ago. We checked his car seat and he used the lapbelt on the plane, then we used his car seat in the rental car. We were going to rent a carseat but it was going to be the same $ as buying a cheap, travel car seat would be anyway. I know that things get damaged in checked luggage handling and I was worried about that but a) this is not the seat he uses the majority of the time at home; it's just a travel car seat we bought specifically for when we fly/rent a car, and b) planes are way too small to accommodate even smallish convertible car seats (unless you're in first class I guess) and I didn't want him kicking the seat in front of us the whole flight or me being scrunched up in the seat next to him without any space the whole flight either.

My kid would have been too big for the CARES harness thing.

Someone upthread said that checking a car seat is free. It was for us but check w/ your airlines because I think it's not free on some of the budget airlines.[/quote]
