Has anyone flown with this car seat? I'm curious if 18" wide will fit into a coach seat.

This seat will fit well in most planes, but you may have to raise the arm rest.

That depends on how much room you need as the driver. My husband is 6 ft tall and drives a VW CC - mid sized car and my son who is 18 months sits directly behind him in the car seat. They have enough room but if you have a Yaris and are 6 ft tall you wont have room for it.

I have had mixed experiences with this. Most of the time, I have been allowed to carry it own without an issue. I have once been told I had to check it - admittedly, it was stuffed completely full and it was an international flight. I have not had a problem with it fitting in the overhead space, but it will not fit under the seat in front of you. Agree with RF Zeiss, I think it is a great carryon. It's a terrific bag.

I have used this car seat on the plane with no issue. It's heavy and hard to maneuver, though, and I used a big car seat bag to carry it onto the plane.

My son is 8mo's old and is 25.5lbs and 31" tall and fits wonderfully with lots of room to grow. I have the seat in my Lexus GX470 and it takes up less room than the infant seat. I am more than glad to send you pics if you need!

Hi Judith, its a pretty big seat. We have always checked in our car seat at the counter. In the past, we tried lugging a car seat (Britax Marathon and its about the same size as this seat) and installing it on the economy air plane seat once and will not do it again. It's too much of a hassle. It was such a tight fit that the person in the front of my child's seat can't recline. I ended up holding my child's leg the whole flight so she couldn't kick the seat in front of her.

Hi big enough to fit a 4 wheel walker with seat. I cut it down to suit a 3 Wheel walker. Re sowed it up on a sewing machine, no problems. This size now good to travel by plane. Hope this might help Regards JB

Different airlines have different rules with car seats. You will to check with them. I will say that I would NOT travel with this car seat. It is really heavy and bulky and difficult to transport/carry. We actually bought a lighter, more manageable car seat for travel in Europe.

Just fine. We drive a Toyota Camry and it fits great. If you have long legs and need to push the drivers seat back most of the way you may have an issue but this seat isn't any bigger than any other infant seat so if that's a problem with this seat it will be the same with others...

The seat width is about 20-21 inches (by comparison, most airplane seats are 17" or 18"), but the arm rests are cushioned so if needed, the seat width can easily be "widened" merely by squeezing the armrests.

I can tell you from experiance using this seat on an international flight it is great. I flew from Germany to Texas without a car seat. I had this one ordered and sent to my destination, as my daughter was about to out grow her infant car seat. On the flight back to Germany my husband buckled this seat into the normal plan seat, and within mins my daughter was asleep and slept the entire 10 hour plane ride, lucky we had a night time flight. We also had a rental car while in the states and it fit perfectly. I did not install this car seat my husband did, but he said it was easy both in the car and on the plane.

Hi there! We own the medium carrier and used it to transport our two parakeets by car for our cross- country move. It is very well made and sturdy and not so sure it would fit under the airline seat. It is not all that malleable. Wonder if u could find out from the airline the max height that could fit under the seat.

Yes! My daughter loves it. It is a booster so the padding isn't quite like we are used to with an actual carseat. However, the padding that is on this seat is much more comfortable than others I looked at. We find it very comfortable riding long distances as well.

I have the Alpha Omega from Costco and agree with what Keri said. The carseat does fit in the seat, but you'll definitely want to remove the cup holder, raise the arms, and maybe buy the person in the seat in front of your little one a drink, because they'll be getting kicked the entire flight.

Not sure my answer will help. The RelaxoBak is 18" wide; according to google, airplane seats are between 17 & 18" wide. You could call your airline and ask them the width of their seats. This would be perfect for long flights. My dh didn't think to bring his on a 12 hour flight.....

It's easy to set up. You just unfold it, like a camping chair. However, I'd check the dimensions. I'd be surprised if there's enough room on a typical, coach seat, plane.

hi! the width at the level of the seat is 17" ... the dimension of the padded seat are 14" across (wide) and 12" deep.dunno the carry weight ... it's listed as 17.8 lb in the specs. i can tell you that i am a 77 yr. old disabled 5 ft. short,old codger-ette and i can hoist it into the trunk of my car! it's a life safer for me. best of luck to you ... i hope that you can find a way to make your life easier and less stressful!
