I'm not too worried about Claire because she can play or be otherwise entertained but my precious little boy on the other hand is a completely different scenario. He is just at a tough age to sit still or be held. I've never taken a carseat on board before we've always just gone with the good ole lap belt but I thought that if they would let Ford sleep in it then it would be worth it. He is used to sleeping in it in the car but it's going to be tough to get him to wind down in our arms. Thanks for all of the wonderful advice!!Megan https://www.blogger.com/profile/00376134109485489424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21514040.post-23922184392951445382008-11-17T22:43:00.000-06:002008-11-17T22:43:00.000-06:00I agree with above commenter. We found that they ...I agree with above commenter. We found that they were pretty strict about take off and landing - otherwise they won't pay any attention to you. <BR/><BR/>And again - new cheap toys are great. Go to the dollar store. The favorite on our trip to Spain was stickers. We had about 30 packs of stickers that each came with their own little sticker book to stick them in. We pretty much left a trail of stickers from Mississippi to Ireland to Spain to England and back again. <BR/><BR/>Are you taking the car seat on the plane b/c she will sleep better in it or for safety? We never use them on the plane - I guess I feel like if your plane crashes then really what are your chances anyway? And a carseat is huge to lug around the airport with a double stroller, diaper bags, carry ons etc... We bought a bag for relatively cheap (ebay) for checking the carseats. It has a strap, so you could also use the bag for carrying the seats to the plane. <BR/><BR/>My best advice is just to give yourself plenty of time. It's defnitely a mom and dad team effort to transport two little kiddos internationally. And when you start to get rushed to make a flight, everything starts to break down.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275078287616975230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21514040.post-90033814885565173122008-11-17T19:31:00.000-06:002008-11-17T19:31:00.000-06:00Hi Megan!What a day!!

From my experience, they will not care AT ALL who is in the seat while you are flying. They can be sticklers for the taking off and landing part, but the time in the air--you can pretty much do whatever you want. And my suggestion for entertainment--a bag of new (cheap) toys, boks, etc. The newness can buy you hours!!Matt & Kadie Laughlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00429740082970299234noreply@blogger.com
