I install it forward facing now that my son is three but I have also done a front facing install on trips when he was over a year old, even though he rode rear facing at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-seat-when-you-travel#post-1223758 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:28:55 +0000 pinkcupcake 1223758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: thanks! It looks like it got good safety reviews. I'll have to check it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-seat-when-you-travel#post-1223749 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:27:21 +0000 looch 1223749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either way, the Scenera is our travel seat. I've brought it on board and I've checked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-seat-when-you-travel#post-1223738 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:23:56 +0000 pinkcupcake 1223738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: oh oops, should have specified - she flies as a lap infant. I was asking for once we reach the destination. We check our car seat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-seat-when-you-travel#post-1223705 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:13:03 +0000 Mamaof2 1223705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a cosco scenera too! Its only $35 and is pretty light so its great for travel!</p> <p>We actually use them at home too rather than switch out their Britax seats my DH just grabs the cosco ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-seat-when-you-travel#post-1223686 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:03:51 +0000 mrs. bird 1223686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: do you buy her a seat when you fly or does she fly as a lap baby? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-seat-when-you-travel#post-1223684 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:02:50 +0000 looch 1223684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We fly long haul regularly, and my son gets a seat now...so we bring on board a Cosco Scenera and he sits in there...it is especially important when we fly overnight because we can tilt the seat so he can sleep, otherwise, we're all a mess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/convertible-seat-when-you-travel#post-1223680 Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:01:39 +0000 pinkcupcake 1223680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What do you guys do about a convertible car seat while you're traveling (specifically, flying)? </p> <p>Until recently, LO still fit into her Chicco infant seat so we just took that with us. Now she finally outgrew it, so we either need to buy another convertible just for flying or take our Britax with us. I'm a little hesitant about taking our expensive seat and having the airline toss it around.</p> <p>What do you do? </p>
