Will the Britax Boulevard "Click and Safe" fit on an airplane? Has anyone had experience using this carseat on airplanes?

We have a regular Britax Boulevard, and it fits an airplane seat. I believe the regular Boulevard and "Click and Safe" models are the same size (although I could be wrong). It was a semi-tight fit through the aisle, but we didn't hit anyone. :) The carseat fit pretty easily into the airline seat by just lifting the armrest. The airline seatbelt was a whole different story. I had a very difficult time getting the belt tight enough through the carseat bars-it is just a bad angle. I held onto the seat on take-off and landing just to be sure. Also, I would suggest purchasing wheels for your carseat. go-go Kidz Travelmate is a set of wheels that attaches to your car seat-essentially turning it into a stroller. It is pricey, but worth it. This way you can check your stroller and not have to tow a carseat and stroller through busy airports. Put it together and practice at home to be sure you can do it quickly and easily at the airport. Hope this was helpfu!

We have used it on 8 flights so far. It is fine in the sense that it fits on the plane (we had it rear-facing) and it works the same as it would in a car. The downside is the weight of this carseat means it is not easy to haul this carseat onto the plane and through airports between flights (we strapped it to a cart to go from one gate to another). The other downside is that the person who sits in front of you won't be able to recline their seat on the plane at all and this may upset them (but this is probably true for most carseats). I would take it on a plane again.

My husband just installed the Britax Boulevard in his Prius and it fits securely. If you go to the Britax website, it has a link that will tell you which models are recommended for which vehicles.

I would not know if it would attach to your carseat but this is what the straps looking for since it only has three-hole ring. one on the top, two on the side. Therefore you would need on your carseat: - tether and LATCH for attaching to the first hole on the middle top and the lower tether (LATCH) for the two side holes. so i dont know what else can cause problem in attaching carseats to the luggage. well someone else might know better =D i also purchase this for a long travel reason (US to asia pacific). which is as far as your trip too. =Dgood luck!

I've used mine on a plane. No car seat is really easy on a plane, I guess. The hardest part was just getting it down the aisle. But it was well worth it. My kiddo slept the whole flight.

Hi Jessica,I have a small car myself and this car seat is really big. My husband placed it rear facing and it was a tight fit. The front seat had to be moved up to accommodate the size of the car seat, but overall it fit. We haven't tried it forward facing, but I imagine it would fit better that way. The car seat is also very heavy, I doubt you would be able to lug it around while traveling and you may have some difficulty fitting it on a plane.Hope that answered your question!

I believe both Britax infant car seats do click in... We have the b safe and it goes ONLY on the top not on the bottom..UNLESS you buy the adaptor and then it clicks into the adaptor. We returned our adaptor and used the Britax b safe infant car seat on top when our son was smaller and put our daughter (the eldest) in the second seat below.. My kids are 15months apart in age so that's what worked best until my son outgrew the infant car seat then we put him on the bottom and my daughter up top in the regular seat is comes with! I hope that wasn't super confusing lol.

We didn't use it on a plane, but according to the Britax website and the booklet came with it, it won't be difficult to install. We use the Britax carseat bag and checked in at gate along with our stroller, both didn't count as extra luggage. The bag also can be carry like a backpack, it was light and easy to carry. The Carseat bag also could fit a toddler potty seat from IKEA. So it worked perfectly for us.

Yes, I have used it on a flight. It even fit snugly and perfectly between the seat in front and the seat it was placed on, during my United flight. Seemed very secure even before I attached the lap belt to it. Infant slept in the carseat for the entire flight :-)

Definitely. I travel with it regularly and haven't had any trouble. Fits nicely in the overhead or under the seat.

I am not sure about that. We use Graco and have never had a problem. The side of the car seat should have a label saying it is airline approved or TSA approved.

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?

Yes, it is certified for aircraft travel. I went to the website for you. http://www.britaxusa.com/car-seats/b-safe

I was wondering the same thing! I am trying to decide between the Graco Nautilus and the britax. I really like the extra "snacky" features of the Nautilus because I know what my 5 year old uses. (This seat would be for my 1 year old.) Input from anyone who knows about these carseats would be appreciated!

I am sorry to say I don't know one way or the other as I have never had to take a toddler seat on a plane. That being said, this seat is about as portable as any of the previous 4 I have tried. I yank it in and out of my car all the time as I only see my little granddaughters once a week and I use my back seat for multiple other purposes than car seat storage. My daughter has one like it and she likes the seat too but I don't think she took it on their one and only plane ride (she did not take any seats as they are 3 and 5). Good luck and have a good trip.

Yes it fits any size carseat that is Britax brand. The bag is pretty large but easy to travel with because of the wheels. And it offers great protection when you do check the bag at the counter!

I brought it on an airplane and it fit (just barely). The seat height may differ depending on the airline, but it worked for me.
