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!

I see a bit of miss information here. You can absolutely take your car seat on an airplane if it is FAA approved and you have purchased a seat for your child. In fact, it is the safest way for your child to travel in the airplane.

I flew with this carseat. For its size, I thought it was surprisingly lightweight. We used a luggage cart and laid it face down on top of the other suitcases and it balanced fine. A flight attendant helped us install it into our coach seat, but it seemed easy enough. It only fit forward facing. My one year old slept the whole flight in this carseat :)

Our carseat safety inspector advised against using this, even though we have a Britax carseat, stating that it was too bulky and not sized to fit properly. It would be similar to buckling in a child wearing a thick winter coat because it prevents the straps from being tightened sufficiently. She recommended rolling up receiving blankets and using those for support if needed.

I've never used it on an airplane but from using it in my car I would say yes. It doesn't stick out very far. Hope this helps somewhat!

Yes, this definitely fits under an airplane seat. I've taken it on three flights and haven't had any issues.

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.

Hi! I am sorry. I have never taken this carseat with us while traveling. Although, i can tell you that this seat is on the heavier side.

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.

We took it to NYC from California on a Jet blue airplane. We put it next to the window and it fit fine. It is a bit big but not so much that it blocks the middle seating area. We had the whole row, so it wasn't a problem for space. She was comfortable and I recommend this car seat 100%. The flight attendant actually let us board first so that we could install it properly. If you ask, I'm sure they will allow it. It is a bit heavy as well so keep that in mind when you are trying to tote this and your bags around the airport.

I did not use it with a carseat so unfortunately can not answer. I had a click and go frame.. They are fantastic!!!! This stroller is horrible.. just saying again..I replaced it with a Joovy Scooter.. best thing I ever did!!

No it's not. The boulevard is a convertible that stays in your car. B ready is compatable with the britax chaperone or b safe seats . You can use it with other brand seats with an adapter bar.

The Seat Saver waterproof liner fits perfectly in the Britax Boulevard CS. I can't speak for other models of Britax car seats.

When using this on a plane, it is only approved to be used as a 5 pt harness car seat. The seat belt goes through the belt path in the back. I use it in my car with the seat belt and have no problem. I imagine a plane wouldn't be much different.

No. There is no way it would fit. Well, perhaps on a large plane. I'm not sure exactly about the dimensions but I think it ends up being to tall. The seat itself is approved for in flight use so you could use it on the plane. The airlines check carseats for free with a child so I went that route.

The FAA website says that as long as the car seat is 16" wide or less, it will fit. We are preparing to bring it on a flight next week, so I just measured ours and the width (the widest part, which is the base) is 15-1/2", so it will fit. Others who have said the seat is 18" wide are just going by what is listed on the product details page, but I believe that is the width of the shipping box.

We used it for air travel, fairly easy to install and fit the small seats in those small rural airport planes. Easy to carry around too as long as you are carrying only a backpack diaper bag and the carseat with baby. I wouldn't recommend trying to juggle more than that (unless you have a husband or helper to assist you.)
