Would this car seat be very easy to take onto an airplane for the child to sit in during the flight?

No, this is a large car seat. You can't fit three across the back seat of a car.

Not unless you have the roller carrier for it. It's pretty heavy, that's why its such a safe and wonderful car seat!

This isn't meant to be portable like that , yes you can but no it won't be easy. It's a little heavy and its big

it's a really big seat so there are probably other seats that would be easier than the recaro. There are car seat covers that you can get that have a handle that would make it easier to travel with.

It really depends on the childs height. We started using it when our granddaughter was 3 years old and she was much more comfortable riding. Her legs were not pushing into the back of the front seat and she could move around a little more easily. For us her weight had increased, as it should, and it was much easier for her to climb into the carseat on her own and we can then buckle her in. She is now 4+ and can almost buckle herself in. It has been a great seat for us and her.

Depends on how your toddler is. I started using it with my son at 23 months. The decision didn't have to do with age or weight, it was just his age when we first purchased him his own seat. I wouldn't hesitate to use it for my daughter who is currently 20 months. I don't know her weight, but it's about the same as your child. I find this much easier to use than lugging a car seat through the airport. It's guaranteed to fit in the plane seat, which isn't always true for regular car seats. One warning, you have to distract the child from the plane belt buckle. At first, they want to keep undoing the seatbelt. My son got over it rather quickly (or I flipped the buckle so he couldn't lift the flap).

Extremely easy. Best car seat I have ever owned! (And this is the 5th infant carrier I have owned)

This booster seat is big and not for a toddler at all. It would be for a 6+ age group I think. It is not FAA approved. I don't know there is any booster seat that is approved for use in an airplane. I would suggest something like a Cosco Scenara.

I have traveled with the carseat and alone with a 2-3 yr old, both internationally and domestically. Now, I'm a pretty strong woman, but it's not very joyful carrying this over your back along with carry on bag, stroller, kid, backpack, and or whatever you choose to bring with you. It does not come with the back straps, they have to be purchased separately (I purchased on amazon) and they have about a 6 inch long padding strip (which is very minimally padded). My daughter is 3 now and I have no plans to travel anytime soon, but if I do I'll be checking in the seat, not bringing it on the plane. Now, the seat itself is incredible, it's fits on any airline seat, its comfortable, safe, amazing quality. Although I can't really give a great experience traveling with this seat, I do have to say it is and was a lot easier than when I used to have to travel with a regular carseat. It is also alot easier if you are traveling with an adult companion (I've always traveled alone with toddler with this seat), and can find a way to add a little extra padding to the strap, then you will be golden! Hope this helps!

It seems to be comfortable. My 4 yr old son has no problem with it. It is very easily removed if you want it to be. Love this car seat.

Yes! the seat comes off very easily, so you can either click in a car seat, using the car seat adapter.

My wife, 2kids (ages 3 and 7 months at the time) flew from TX to CA in June of 2012. We were very glad to have the stroller. It kept both kids contained when needed and was easy when she needed to get down. The plane ride was no more difficult than taking a single stroller. If renting a car you do need to get a SUV or a car with a full size trunk.

That's a good question, I wish I could say for sure but did not fly first class. However I'm fairly certain it would work, there is plenty of slack for a small child. My granddaughter is 37 pounds and is 3 years old, and there was plenty of slack. Have a great trip.

No... Not really. As pictured it only works in a vehicle. I use the seat for my 4 year old and we went on a flight without it; plus I don't even think it is authorized for use by the airlines... Best advice I can give is call the air line and get a booster seat if you really need it.

No, it's only for cars. There is a flight system approved for toddlers on airplanes. Go to FAA.gov and search on child restraints

Yes, the car seat is way easier to move back and forth between cars than a regular car seat.

I used this seat until my oldest turned 4 when I moved him into a high back booster. I think he actually prefers the Combi seat to the booster he moved into, but he hit the weight/height limitations recently. As far as taking it on a plane I always take 1 of my Combi Coccoro seats on with me. I have a 20mo old and a 6mo old who will take turns in the seat depending on who is napping because the cushion makes it more comfortable to sleep in than the plane seat. The seat fits very easily into the plane seat also, so no struggle there. We fly internationally quite frequently and this has been a lifesaver for me on those long flights when it's difficult and uncomfortable to hold a heavy sleeping baby (or 2!) the whole way.

I haven't done it personally with this booster specifically, but did travel with a convertible car seat with no problem. We actually bought an affordable model specifically for travel in case the airline lose or damage it.

What I like about it is that this car seat is slim and doesn't take up much space. The question is are airplanes safer than these car seats?

This will be a tight squeeze if you are using it rear facing in a small vehicle, but forward facing it would fit fine. It is very heavy compared to a regular infant seat and I usually have to have my husband help me when I need to switch cars. It is very comfortable for my daughter, but I highly doubt it will fit on an airplane comfortably. A large international flight you would be ok, but on any smaller jets you would be hard pressed to make it fit. Hope that helps!
