[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your stroller one of those car seat/stroller combos?  If so, use that until you get thru security.  Then put the baby in a baby carrier when boarding and carry the seat, install it, then put the baby in the seat.  Gate check the stroller frame.

Have multiple changes of clothes and make a few diaper changing kits with disposable changing pads (puppy pad), two diapers and some wipes. Just take that into the bathroom to change the baby.

I did a few solo flights with an infant and it’s much better than with a toddler! But I was nervous until I did it.  She slept the whole time and the person across the aisle didn’t even realize I had a baby with me until we deplaned. [/quote]

Thank you! Yes we have the cybex libelle that has adapters for the nuna pipa lite. The libelle folds to fit under the plane seat or in the overhead with the adapters. I just worry about carrying the car seat but I guess I won't be carrying car seat and baby. She will be in the carrier while I set up the seat. Is it hard to install to the plane seat? Also I'm bigger since giving birth and haven't lost any weight. I'm 210 so I already feel obese sitting next to someone. Let alone with a baby strapped to me. Now that I think we will be most comfortable with the extra seat even if she doesn't use it. I can toss our stuff there and have it in case. She does fall asleep in the car seat and likes to sleep there in the car when moving. But imagining I can feed her until drowsy then Buckle her in and finish feeding. I might be lucky to get a break on the flight [/quote]

PP you’re quoting - clearly I’m out of the loop on baby items - I don’t think those were around when my now 10 year old was an infant.  😂

Anyway - whatever brand we had wasn’t bad to install. I just watched a few YouTube videos.  I also practiced installing the seat without the base in our car at home.

DH would drop us at the airport and I’d check bags curbside.  When I did this the first time, it was to stay with my parents for two weeks- so I just had Amazon deliver diapers, lotion, wipes etc.  so I didn’t have to pack them or try to get them when I got there (in hindsight, I could have made a Target run, but I was overthinking then…).

Also, doing this will boost your mom confidence.

I also think it’s much better than driving at that age - even though she was fine in a car seat, it would have taken forever with stopping regularly to feed & change the baby.   We did a longer road trip when she was just over a year, and that was fine, however.  [/quote]
