So my husband and I are traveling for Christmas with a 2-year old (her own seat) and almost 1-year old (lap). We will have a longer layover there. So i have been trying to think of how to entertain both my children on our longer travel day.

Any Suggestions????

Thanks,
Sasha

Thanks for commenting! No, we did not want to carry the base with us overseas, so we didn’t bring it. Our rear facing car seat has a spot on each side to slide a seat belt through. So the seat belt went over the baby. I hope that make sense. I have attached a photo (not my baby) and you can see where it looks like hooks on the side of the seat. I slipped the airplane seat belt through those without the base. So, in that case it was easy to install.

I will say that Cathay was confused with our car seat. On one flight they insisted that I hold my baby in my lap with the child lap belt that attaches to my seat belt during take off. My baby just slipped through their belt. So I obliged and held her, even though I thought she would be safer in her seat. It turned out fine.

During the flight the stewards and stewardesses were very kind and would offer me juice or a diaper. Even though I didn’t need any of what they offered.

I hope your flight goes well for you and your baby sleeps most of the way! Good luck!

If you have any other questions, I would be happy to answer them.

Thanks for writing this ! I am flying with my 3 month old on a non stop flight (20 hrs with a 2 hr re-fueling stop in which we stay in the plane). I was wondering if it is safe for her to be in a plane for so long? Your non stop flight was for 15 hrs at a stretch ?
