[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends. I have flown many many times with my now two year old.  There is NO way she would sit in a car seat for a long flight (over 2 hours) so then it just gets in the way.  We always buy her seat and rent a CARES harness for take off/landing and turbulence but beyond that she gets up and down from her seat to play on the floor.   The full size seats are huge and may put your kids feet into the seat in front of them which means non stop kicking.  We held her on our lap until she was 9 months old and then get her a seat with no car seat.  We gate check the seat.  Althugh we have rented them with cars before, they meed all safety standards but definitely not as nice as the one we own.[/quote]

Do you let her decide whether to sit in her car seat in the car too? And does she set her own bedtime and choose her own meals?[/quote]

I am not PP, but in the car I don't care about bothering other passengers.  I am sure you are one of those parents on the plane who just lets their kid scream, but I am not.  My kids stay quiet and one of the reasons is that I don't strap them in car seats they hate![/quote]

I wrote the post about letting my kid NOT sit in the car seat not he plane.  She is 30 inches tall and in a diono radian on a plane her feet would be hitting the back of the seat and no doubt super annoying.  So yes, I let her get up and down from the middle seat between her parents. And letting her do that means she doesn't fuss or tantrum to walk up and down the aisles.  At one point she just played on the floor on a blanket.   Its silly to assume that because we do this on the plane that we let her run roughshod over us everywhere else.   [/quote]
