Check out the Cosco Scenera. It's super lightweight. The only issue I've found using it on the plane is that you have to be in the bulkhead seats to rear-face it but other than that it's a great, cheap, lightweight seat. I think it weighs about 8 or 9 lbs and depending on the version you get it's between $40 and $60 so you can't get cheaper.

Me and kids are frequent flyer and also use Gogo Babyz Travelmate since 2009 and we absolutely love it. We have used Travelmate with Britax/Maxi Cosi and Evenflo convertible seats and it is the best solution for the airport! Travelmate is also compatible with Pria 70.

I have not used it on a plane yet, but this would be the seat i take since it is light, easy to install and my son seems pretty comfortable in it.

The easiest way is to put the chair face forward and pass the airline safety belt through the slots on the back of the chair.The chair is quite light and compact. I was traveling overseas alone with my one-year old, and was able to carry both the baby and the chair (and a diaper bag, and a backpack and a stroller) I still keep this chair for future flights.

For use on an airplane I think a seat is just to keep an infant secure but not for an impact so don't think height would matter

We purchased a converter strap called the "traveling toddler" from Amazon. I think it was under $20, which allowed us to strap this car seat directly to our rolling luggage. We were very happy with the way that it worked. And it even fit down the aisle of our Southwest Airlines flight. Although it was a very tight fit. Definitely practice hooking and unhooking the strap at home without a child in the car seat before you travel or it will be a nightmare in the security line. But after everything is adjusted and you practice 1 or 2 times it's very easy and quick to attach and detach.

Sorry, we bought this as a second vehicle car seat because the price was great, and we didn't need anything fancy since it isn't the regular vehicle we use. Serves our purposes well and our kids don't mind it not being super soft since the trips we take in these are at most 30 minutes long. The one we regularly use are the britax convertible seats, by far more cushy and great for 11-hour road trips.

I highly recommend also buying the Graco SnugRider Elite Car Seat Carrier for use in stores. I got mine for $60 on an Amazon warehouse deal and it was a great investment.

I have the Graco Nautilus 3-in1 car seat. I bought the Brica Roll 'n Go & it was a lifesaver going through the airports with my 2-year-old granddaughter. I would recommend this item to others.

I have seen a universal type stroller thing that should work there are also backpack type bags for them! We just pulled out the straps and had my hubs backpack it through but if you plan to travel quite a bit it would be helpful to purchase something else! It's a VERY lightweight seat!!

We used seat on a trip to Florida. It worked well for the trip, is very lightweight and easily portable. I'm not sure I'd like to use it on a daily basis. It scooted around a bit on the chair it was attached to. It's great for travel, not sure about daily use.

This wheel chair is very light weight, and easy to set up and use. I think it would fly easily . I would bungee cord it closed to insure it 's safety on an airplane. Hope this helps.

I don't know of such a sticker but we traveled with it on Southwest recently. Then again, we checked the car seat so we never used it on the actual airplane. And for what it's worth, a seat for a child small enough for a car seat is an airliner racket. They're not really much safer in their own seat or a car seat when/if an airplane crashes.

I have a safety first car seat. The snap n go itself is light and compact. I just think there have to be better ones out there. Now I either use the baby bjorn or my carriage!

Yes, no problem, very light weight, good seat, will hold enough for a day hike.

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.
