Will these fit on an infant while fastened in a carseat or are they too bulky? We're looking to purchase for 9 month old for private plane use.

They should fit on well, provided the child doesn't have padding right next to their head. My daughter wore hers in a stroller and another friend's infant wore them in a car seat while attending a wedding reception.

Ithey are bulky so I doubt they would work. We wouldn't be able to use them now with a 15 pound baby in his 1st car seat.

I don't know how diligent the airlines about measuring the child??!!! If it fits otherwise and makes you feel better, maybe try. I don't know when each airline allows a child to use the regular seat belt. Check out the airlines site or call!!

Some cloth diapers are extremely bulky and some can be very trim, perhaps too small at times. It really all depends on the brand of the cloth diaper in the age of your baby. I found that the BumGenius Freetimes were comically bulky on my baby up until she was 5months old. That is due to the fact that you cannot reduce the number of soakers you have in your diaper since they are sewn in. I've found these are great for nighttime diapers since they are extremely absorbent.

We have Costco seats that are 17.5" wide. We fit but we as a parent had to deal with the seat impeding our full seat since we had to put the arm rest on. Also walking down the aisle was a HUGE ordeal. Ask, beg, plead to be able to take your car seats on plane before everyone else boards. Otherwise you are knocking elbows.

I had a baby trend car seat and it fit in snug, but for safety I used the strap. The summer infant cadres fit the same in the adapter as my baby trend.

I know this is late to the discussion, but it will help someone in the future. We traveled with that car seat and had no problems. It was difficult to get through security because they had to hand search it, and carrying a car seat onto the plane was bothersome, but the added safety is well worth it. Had no problems getting the car seat to fit once on the plane. Strapped my son in and he slept the either flight.

Regardless of the brand of carseat, you will have the same problem. My son is now 15 months, and we had to turn him around today because he just won't fit rear facing anymore...

My 10 month old is still using them and he is 22 lbs. I think they would fit a toddler depending on his size.

Just tried them on my 3 year old. They stay put. A little loose, but for just sitting still they're stay on just fine. Also they're very light so they don't bother her at all. Hope this helps.

They are too large for a passenger. Mine cover the rear foot pegs. However not an issue for me because I don't ever take a passenger.

My kids are 16 mo apart, so my older child wasn't huge when the baby was in the infant seat, but they fit great. The back seat reclines enough to make it not feel too cramped. The compact size is awesome, so I definitely wouldn't change it, but as my infant got bigger, his feet would be right at my older child's face. It made it very hard for her not to play with his feet while he was napping in the infant seat :).

No...not if the plan seats have same leg as normal plane but they will most likely not allow the baby to be anywhere other than in your lap so I would bring strap on body carrier that what I did.

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). Depends on how your toddler is. I started using it with my son at 23 months.

It's very convenient for moving in and out of cars - like taxis. However, the fine print says NOT to use on airplanes. I will say it will depend on size of your child too, my middle son is stocky but when he was 3 he still was tilted because he was too small for the best even though he weighed minimum weight restrictions for best. Now he is 4 and fits fine, but it may be too big to be comfortable at 2.5! The weights might have changed - check into the new vests. It is VERY CONVENIENT for a third child in back seat of tiny car!

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

I have a baby trend. Its a pain in the toosh to get on when the baby is in the seat though. FYI.. I haven't used mine yet.
