Re: Car Seats for the flight? Confused?
Ok thank you everyone, I was wondering about transporting them so I guess that's one thing less to organise!What about Sit n Stroll, great for the plane but are they AUS compliant?

Re: Car Seats for the flight? Confused?

It's OK on a short flight (7 hours or so) so if you are making a few stops then they can kind of sleep on you....but if it's a fairly direct flight then it's a bit nightmarish imho....I am thinking about what to do now...maybe take my maxi cosi on the plane and then keep it for return journeys? I have no idea because we won't use it, and can't sell it as no one uses second hand ones here...keep me posted, we will be traveling roughly the same time as you to Oz....

I have done this several times...check with the airline bu if they say yes buy a REALLY cheap one you can chuck the other end as I have now found out even if the seat is AUS compliant if it doesn't have the AUS compliant sticker then it's illegal in a car voiding the insurance.

sorry when I said extra seat I meant the actual seat rather than car seat. As in I will have him on my lap for the duration...
we are going to uk for a holiday sans partner!
