My daughter is the only grandchild on one side...and the only out of town grandchild on the other. Even if they did get a carseat, we could still have borrowed one from one of her cousins!<br/><br/>I didn't mind the price...mainly because I knew that I would be flying alone with her more than my husband would be going with us. Anything to lessen the stress on me is usually worth it! Ah. My daughter is the only grandchild on one side…and the only out of town grandchild on the other.

Those could come in handy. <br/><br/>For me personally a little to pricey, carrying the car seat wasn't all that bad. If I flew alone often with all three kids I would consider it though.<br/><br/>We had 7 children meeting up at my grandfathers house, he wasn't quite prepared with that many car seats :) Christy, thanks for the links.

Since we always have a carseat when we arrive at our destination (My parents bought one just to keep at their house), I use the <a HREF="http://www.kidsflysafe.com/" REL="nofollow">Cares Harness</a> for my daughter. That way, I don't have to worry about lugging the carseat.<br/><br/>If you DO need the carseat at your destination, you can get a <a HREF="http://www.elitecarseats.com/Gogo-Kidz-Universal-Travelmate.pro?gclid=CMnYgYvjgJQCFQyenAodCi1AXQ" REL="nofollow">GoGoKidz Travelmate</a> to use. It's basically a set of wheels that attach to the carseat to allow it to be pulled like a suitcase or pushed like a stroller. You child can even ride IN the carseat while you push/pull it! I have one, but have not used it yet. We're still using our Cares Harness with great success, but I have the other as a back up, should we need it. I fly frequently with my 2.5 yr-old.

I guess it makes it seem more like the car and they don’t get as antsy. My daughter falls asleep much easier in her car seat. <br/><br/>When my first was younger and we didn’t use the car seat he could easily unbuckle the regular airplane seat belt. He would try to stand in his seat and look around and then start grabbing at everything and everyone. At that age it is a little harder to settle them down once they have discovered how easily they can get out of the seat. <br/><br/>I think by the age of three they understand the rules of seat belts (assuming you enforce them at home) and they do quite well. <br/><br/>This of course applies to flights under 2 hours, after that just pray that you all make it there with nothing spilled or broken and no one screaming. :) I’ve flown quite a bit with my kids and I find that under 2 and over that “lap child” stage it is easier to use the car seat.
