Tips for flying with a booster seat....

I guess we are not worriers like most. We do the Disney thing every 12 weeks, always flying non-stop carriers. Our clothes always seem to be there and we never pack anything for a carryon other than important papers....I guess we live dangerously. We have checked our carseats more times than most people. And we would be a B too because we would just strap the kids in the regular seatbelt and stop at Walmart, Target, or Big lots to pick up new ones if it came down to it.

Going non-stop DOES make it a little safer, but still no guarantee. We always connect and I think 3 out of our last 4 flights had one piece of luggage delayed.

My aunt came to visit us one time and "lost" her luggage... it never made it on the original flight.

another thing that has not been mentioned is, at 5 years old it is legal in FL to go without a booster. I know personally I like that booster seat, but if push comes to shove, she isn't required to take it.


Wow! It is a requirement in PA to have one until 8 years old. My dd's only weighed 38 lbs at 5. With their weight and height that would be completely unsafe....Dh is a safety seat inspector at his police station so this just shocks me!
