Before our flight--Confirm car seats are certified for airline use (we use the Clek Foonf) and book tickets for the kids.
Airport arrival-Uninstall car seats from the car and strap on to car seat carts in recline position 1 (which its most upright). The cart makes transporting the car seats easier (our 2 year old son can easily pull it!). The kids don’t ride in the carts much, but it’s nice they can doubles as a stroller which is helpful for tight connections or rolling kids to sleep on long layovers.
Checking luggage- We remove and check the rear-facing base and anti-rebound bar.
Airport security check-Like most car seats, ours doesn't fit through the x-ray machine, so it requires manual inspection.
Gate- If we aren’t able to book window seats ahead of time, we do this at the gate so the car seats will not obstruct egress. We opt to select seats one in front of the other in case our littlest decides to kick the seat.
Boarding- We pre-board as part of family boarding to give us more time to get settled. We like to board together versus one adult setting up the seats alone because the kids actually enjoy the time before the flight to explore the airplane. The Foonf is very narrow (only 16.9” wide), so it rolls down the aisle easily. We roll the seat right up to our row, collapse & store the cart in the overhead bin.
Seat install- We use the airplane lap belt through the forward-facing belt path to secure the seat, referencing our manual for lap belt install. It only takes 30 seconds from start to finish. Having a car seat on board is safer in cases such as turbulence or aborted landings, but our kids also appreciate their familiar, comfortable seat over an adult-sized airline seat. When they sit in the Foonf they are easily able to see out the window too. We can still use the arm rests, however the tray table isn’t able to be used.
Disembark-We wait until the plane is nearly empty to take our time so we can check under the seats for lost toys and set the car seats back up on the cart.
0:00 You ever wonder what these kids are thinking? They’re probably like, “Wow, does this mean we have to ride in the luggage belly?”
What a great idea! Wish we knew this with all our travelling when our child was 5/under!
Very innovative product! By chance what is the background music playing? Very cool would love to know the name if possible.
What are the carts on the video? Neither option in the links looks like the one you used with the racheting straps.
Brilliant and you can use car seat at the other end. Very very cleaver and prob works well like a pram if your desperate too
You might consider a "Ride Safer Travel Vest". Much more convenient alternative for travel.
I think the ride safer vest can't be used on airplanes
They'll over $ 500 USD on Amazon
Hello. What is height of your bigger child. We are flying 17 hours flight soon. So we are scared. Our child is 3 but only 13kg. However he is tall, and we worry that he will kick the seat in front all the way. Would you recommend us to take the car seat?
What car seats do you have?
Wish I had known about those car seat dollies a few year's back, those car seats are not easy to move around the air plane isle packed full of people.
They make such a difference
Where did you guys buy the carseat carts you used in your video?
There's a link in the video caption
I wish that this was possible for EU seats! Alas, different system and no such carts available. US seats are not allowed on the road, unfortunatly
They are apparently allowed when visiting.
Can we take our car seats inside and another stroller to baggage without an extra fee?
Yes. We fly using our car seats and always check our stroller or wagon
what carts are those in the video?
PLEASE , as if a car seat is going to make them any safer in a crash. Some real BS if you really want to know the truth
Do you also travel with strollers?
I'm sure they do, using over sized strollers with HUGE wheels on top of that
$553 😭such a great idea though
NO Its NOT ! They are useless and HUGE!
Good way to piss people off having to sit next those over grown kids for some BS car seat, Not to mention how inconsiderate making people WAIT while putting securing with seat belts the overgrown kids in a Useless car seat on a plane.
I’m guessing you don’t have kids because although my kids are grown it’s brilliant they get to use car seats at other end the kids are comfortable and contained so safe t for them and less stress for the parents and it wldnt take up more room than a passenger and just instead of having a body next to you you have solid plastic. And as for queues go to a different person if you don’t want to be delayed. They are entitled to take what they need as much as you are - don’t be a Karen
@@ktsdiy6034 Kids or Not , YES i have them, But I'm also considerate of others too and a Car seat is NOT going to save a kid in the event of a crash, Its bad enough you have to wait for people to put their Carry on in the shelves and wait while they shuffle though to find a spot. Now we have to wait for some BS useless car seat?
Fr like why are those 8 year olds in car seats
@@Ruby66739 Exactly my Point, Only people of the White race do things like this!
