[quote=Anonymous]I consider myself a strong advocate of using a child seat on a plane.  I did it with both of my boys through age 2, one or two trips per year.    But at around age 2, I found my boys much less content to stay strapped in the their car seat on the plane.  And, as their legs get longer, hitting the seat in front of them becomes for of an issue (when in their car seat).  I did use a CARES harness once at age 2 with my youngest.  It was fine but we never used it again.  Just went with the airplane seat belt.

Since your child may somewhat be used to not being confined to a car seat in the plane and he's getting near 2, I'd probably skip the car seat.  You can't selectively use it on the plane as there would be no place to store it when not using it.  I'm not familiar with the blow-up thing you mentioned.  A standard airplane seat is pretty roomy for a 20 month old and he can lay across your lap, if needed.  Probably better to bring a small pillow or blanket for comfort.  [/quote]
