We are a party of 7... 4 adults and 3 littles we need 1 booster seat and 2 car seats.... Any suggestions?? Last time we flew we only had our granddaughter so we checked the car seat and uber'd. Now that we have the twins in the family its a hole new experience traveling with 7! Not enough hands to handle the luggage, stroller and car seats and kids
When we had littles DH and I each wore one on our back in a soft carrier. Like sakura bloom or lennie lamb. We each carried a car seat on the plane. (Do some research on buying your under 2 kids a seat on the plane. And never check a seat. We were recently in a crash and so glad I didn’t have to worry about my seats integrity. My 7 yo is still harnessed forward facing, no booster.) Each of us carried a bag with diapers and change of clothes for babies, snacks and activities. We used our double stroller to push the car seats and carry on through the airport. Gate checked the stroller.
We check our luggage and we’d usually be able to get it in 1 lg suitcase or maybe 2 if needed. We had boxes of diapers sent to the hotel from
amazon. We bring quarters plan to do laundry once during the trip. We’d do it during nap in hotel break.
You might want to look into buying a triple stroller. We are renting from city strollers (they have a joovy triple) this time and just bringing a Maclaren single in the airport (for 6 yo) with 2 yo on my back. We’ll only have one car seat.The big kids will have a mifold booster and a harness only car seat, which they can’t use on the plane.
We bought the $50 car seat from
Walmart that’s light plastic to make it easier to carry on the plane, once they were out of the rear only infant car seat and in a heavy, metal frame seat. The older flight attendants often made fun of us for rear facing my 2-3 yo on the plane. It’s legal and safer, don’t let them talk you out of it. Plus they won’t kick the seat in front of them!
Now we only have one little and 2 kids almost ready to outgrow the stroller! Let me know if you have further questions.
