We are flying from NY to Australia with a 2 kids, will the harness interfere with the other passengers tray tables on Qantas planes?

It depends how tall the child s. For me it did but most people are willing to work with you when boarding. You can have them open the tray and then fasten that harness behind it o the person can use their tray. I flew from NY to rome and everyone was so helpful and understanding.

You will have to open the table from the back seat to install but after that and until the end of the trip there is no interference.

Most planes have the tray table "recessed" into the seat in front of them. Usually families travelling with children are allowed to board first. You just have to lower the tray table behind the child, slip the strap in place and tighten then return their tray table "to the locked" position. The belt will not interfere with them opening or lowering their table during flight. Not sure how you confirm the plane you're traveling on has the tray tables recessed. I used mine for 3 years on probably a dozen flight (internationally as well) and never found a tray table not recessed...but I've heard some planes don't have recessed tables. Hope this helps!

No it does not. You will open their table to slip it on, but the passenger behind did not even realize it was there.

No all you have to do is have them open the tray put it on and then they can close it back up before take off .

I would say this is the only complaint that I would have about this chair. The tray is fixed so you cannot move it to fit to your child. My daughter is actually able to pull her legs up and put her feet on top of the tray. Personally, this isn't a big deal to me. But I can see this being a problem for some.

I used this seat until my oldest turned 4 when I moved him into a high back booster. I think he actually prefers the Combi seat to the booster he moved into, but he hit the weight/height limitations recently. As far as taking it on a plane I always take 1 of my Combi Coccoro seats on with me. I have a 20mo old and a 6mo old who will take turns in the seat depending on who is napping because the cushion makes it more comfortable to sleep in than the plane seat. The seat fits very easily into the plane seat also, so no struggle there. We fly internationally quite frequently and this has been a lifesaver for me on those long flights when it's difficult and uncomfortable to hold a heavy sleeping baby (or 2!) the whole way.

They're just a seat cover and shouldn't interfere with anything. I don't see how they would affect an air bag any more than the seat itself!

We had no issues when we flew our pup in this. The carrier was United and it was a domestic flight... So I am not sure what the regulations are for international flights. However, I have seen people manually drill holes after they have the crate. We thought the crate was great for the price and would recommend it.

Yes, I was quite concerned about that as I wss taking an internationsl flight with two plane changes. Mine is a twin donkey and too large to be gate checked. A "fragile" tag was attached and it arrived safe and sound. The stroller is securely fadtened eithin the transport which has some insulation. Bon voyage!

The safety straps attach to your dog's harness. Standing on his hind legs will not displace the cushion. These are truly one of the best designed seats I have seen. I have 3 of them for my 2 beagles and a small Basenji mix.

There are several ways to use this pillow. In most cases it will not block the screen or tray table, but if it does, the pillow can be used an alternate way (which 50% of users prefer anyway). Additionally, most airplanes now have the bendable "wings" behind your head which makes a perfect place to loop the cord around and stabilize the Travelrest Pillow. Please see our instructional video on our website to get an idea on how to use it both ways. http://www.travelrest.net/Travelrest-Pillow-Videos-s/1822.htm

Right, I've had that problem too. I think it has something to do with the smaller straps that hold those gray chest pads (forget what Britax calls them - HUGS pads?). I just pull the strap release (accessed through a slit in the seat cover near where the lower strap comes out between the child's legs), grasp the black clip that holds the 2 shoulder straps together across the child's chest, and pull that clip upwards until it moves no further. That's usually enough slack in our case to get our kid out easily. It does seem to run up against those little HUGS pad straps though.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't work in 1st class or on the exit rows either if the tray table comes out of the armrest.

I used it with my 3 year old on AirTran, but that was 4 years ago. She hated the feel because it was so different from her carseat and she was not used to it. She was comfortable and found asleep on the 6 hour flight. Good luck and God bless.

When using this on a plane, it is only approved to be used as a 5 pt harness car seat. The seat belt goes through the belt path in the back. I use it in my car with the seat belt and have no problem. I imagine a plane wouldn't be much different.

I dont think its an approved aircraft restraint. The average 2.5yo will be too small for the size small. I think it says 3.5 and up but I began using it for my 3yo who was bigger than an average 4yo. Worked well for him. For a 2.5yo Id get a small cheap lightweight 5pt harness seat.

Two straps, one on each side, snap into a strap between the legs. I would never remove the tray as it adds another measure of safety.

I have no issues with my X1 Carbon, it fits on the tray just fine. I have 1st Generation, but the dimensions of the 2nd are practically the same. But I agree with another comment, who pointed out that carriers configure their planes differently. There are some airlines that skim on space between the seats, which means they use shorter trays too. But I'm yet to come across one.

It hangs from the tray table. The last international flight that i took had footrests, so I didn't use mine.

I'm just stumbling upon this now. I have flown with my rabbit on United on 14 flights. Only one flights attendant (on the last flight we were on) gave me a hard time. I just had to switch from the single seat side to the double seat side. On the regional jets (all the flights we've been on), it's tight, but it fits if you tip it a bit to get it in. You won't have much room at your feet. I'm traveling with her again next month and I'm a little nervous because of my last flight experience and also the recent crackdowns on carry-on bag rules.
