We are going for a short vacation in San Diego in a few weeks.
DS1 is 4 years 39 lbs and 42.5 inches tall
DS2 is 20 months 23 lbs and 34 inches tall
Each kid will get their own seat. The flight will be 3 hours long.
We will rent a car in San Diego.
We plan to take Combi Coccoro for DS2. We will take it into a plane.
We will also take Evenflo Secure Kid 400 with us to use in the car but don't plan to take it into the plane.
Reason why we are thinking of checking in our Evenflo is because DS1 struggled to sleep in Evenflo SecureKid in our previous trip.
Is he tall enough to sit in the airplane seat comfortably?
Should we buy something like cares harness along with rider safe travel vest and skip the car seat all together. We plan on taking other trips in near future so can invest in cares harness and RSTV if it makes sense.
We will gate check BJCM. Do you have any recommendation for a bag that will hold BJCM?
We will carry DS2 in Ergo and let the DS1 sit in the stroller if he is tired.
In our last trip we had both the seats in the plane and we used go go kidz to carry the evenflo and tied up combi cocorro with a bungie cord to a Uppababy g-luxe stroller.
Our brand new gogo kidz broke down in the first flight of the cross continent trip so my spouse is refusing the consider another car seat carrier.
Let us know if you have any suggestions for us. I want to do whatever I can to make travel comfortable for the little ones.
