We had Noelle sit in her own seat w/o a carseat when we flew 9-10 hours to Cancun, and she was able to nap! And if she wasn't napping, the iPad was our BFF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644681 Mon, 19 May 2014 12:40:33 +0000 keiki_mama 1644681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd leave it... you'll have enough stuff to lug around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644575 Mon, 19 May 2014 12:03:48 +0000 chopsuey 1644575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: @mrs. wagon: just worried she won't sleep in the car once we land, since the drive isn't too long and my parents are picking us up in their mini van. </p> <p>oh well. worst case, she doesn't sleep and is crazy tired :P :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644567 Mon, 19 May 2014 12:02:29 +0000 chopsuey 1644567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sammyfab: she dropped her nap a looong time ago. every once in a while she sleeps in the car though! </p> <p>not a big deal if she doesn't nap, but with the time change, she'll be super tired and overstimulated by the time it's bed time :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644543 Mon, 19 May 2014 11:54:10 +0000 Smurfette 1644543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Leave it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644534 Mon, 19 May 2014 11:50:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 1644534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: that's exactly what happened with us! Wagon Jr. was totally silent watching cartoon network the entire plane ride, then passed out as soon as we got into the rental car. On one flight without the TV he did fall asleep in the seat without his carseat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644516 Mon, 19 May 2014 11:39:37 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1644516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>leave it. she's old enough to be occupied by tv and will pass out as soon as she gets in the car. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644495 Mon, 19 May 2014 11:32:13 +0000 looch 1644495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would probably not bring it. Having the tray table that folded down was a bigger benefit for a shorter flight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644491 Mon, 19 May 2014 11:30:41 +0000 Sammyfab 1644491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't think she'll nap without the carseat? I'm sure if all of the stars aligned she would fall asleep on the plane without it! :happy: I'm all about bringing as little as possible onto an airplane! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644458 Mon, 19 May 2014 11:18:34 +0000 photojane 1644458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it means a nap, I'd take the seat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-would-you-do-46#post-1644429 Mon, 19 May 2014 11:08:04 +0000 chopsuey 1644429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're flying to CA at the end of June and buying a seat for each of the kids. </p> <p>DS will sit in his convertible car seat. My parents have a convertible car seat for DD at their house (I bought one the last time we were there and shipped it to them), but I'm wondering if we should take DD's seat anyway for the flight and just use it while we're there. </p> <p>The flight is 4-5 hours long and there's a good chance she'll nap if she's sitting in her car seat. </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
