HBB belted booster on airplane?

[Ms B]

We are travelling with The Biscuit by plane next week and will need a carseat or booster at our destination.

The Biscuit is up to 47 inches and 49 pounds. He rides FF in a Diono Radian in DH's car, in a Britax Frontier 90 in my car, and in a Recaro something or other in our convertible. However, he rides in a Graco HBB (I cannot recall make) in my ILs truck. We have an Evenflo Amp HBB booster for our sitters to use or to have for a spare when we transport a friend.

I am thinking that we will bring the AMP in a carrybag and gate check it and The Biscuit can just use the lap belt on the plane. We plan to use the AMP in our rental car; none of our drives will be over 30 minutes during the trip.

Sound like a plan? Or should (or even can) we bring the AMP on the flight with us and have him sit in it on the plane?

TIA!

I could be wrong, I'm no expert, but I thought​ belt-positioning boosters were not FAA approved and couldn't be used on an airplane.

Can't use booster on planes.

Just bag your AMP for gate checking it, as boosters cannot be used in an airline seat.

I would check it. Boosters can only be used when you have both a lap and shoulder belt, that is why they can't be used on planes
