I posted pics on my profile and under the product page of the install rearfacing in an airplane.

Yes it does. We've used it several times on Delta and even Spirit Air (they have VERY small seats). We did use it front-facing. I don't know how it would do back-facing.

Have to warn you that using a car seat rear-facing is difficult on long flights when the person in front of you wants to recline their seat. When we've flown, we've had to have the seat rear-facing and had trouble with both the aircraft crew and the person in front of us. Many of the aircraft crew were not used to seeing a rear-facing seat since most people don't buy their infants a ticket when they're under 2 (it was a long flight, so we bought our son his own seat). Then, the person in front of us couldn't recline his seat because the car seat got in the way and the got upset. These problems are not unique to the Britax but are problems with using any rear-facing car seat on flights.

Hi Marie,So sorry we missed your inquiry in January. There are two different ways to use this pillow on an airplane. In most cases it will not block the screen or tray table when you attach to the back of your chair, but if it does, the pillow can be used an alternate way (which 50% of users prefer anyway). 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

Hi Jean! This back support would not work for airplane seats. The straps help stabilize the support in place especially since it's a 3-prong cushion. Hope this helps :)

I see no reason why it wouldn't meet approval BUT knowing the FAA, rather than guess, I went to the FAA site at http://www.faa.gov/passengers/fly_children/ and could not find a list of accepted or rejected seats. Also, I could not find anything on the seat saying it was approved. There's a chance I missed something but I suggest researching it further or waiting for another responder to clarify the issue. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No booster seats can be used on the airplane. The booster seats are made for across the shoulder belts only.

Rini, I'm sorry but we have not used it on an airplane yet. We have not had an opportunity to use it on an airplane. Wish we could be more helpful.

I brought it on an airplane and it fit (just barely). The seat height may differ depending on the airline, but it worked for me.

It has always worked when I use it. I sometimes don't take it as I don't really want to carry it around while on business. It has worked on both united and us airways flights I have used it. A lot of the time I just ask to get one as I am boarding the plane so it's not so noticeable.

I have - it worked great! Traveling through the airport was SO much easier than the last time I traveled, without the Go-Go Babyz Travelmate Deluxe. Be prepared for a handcheck at security, as the car seat and carrier won't fit through the x-ray machines (the car seat doesn't fit through on its own either, even without the carrier). You'll have to detach the car seat from the carrier when you're boarding the plane, because they won't fit down the aisle. I used the car seat on the airplane, and tucked the carrier under the seat while flying. When traveling through the airport, it works just like a stroller. I buckled in my 3-year-old and off we went! He enjoyed riding in it as much as I enjoyed the stress-free travel. I highly recommend it.

I haven't tried it on a Britax but everything I have tried it on works. I can't imagine that it wouldn't fit. It is very pliable and the claws screw tight onto anything. I have used it on many things... bouncy chair, bassinet, car seat, swing etc...The only negative thing about it is that they kept having to send me a new one because the battery was dead when I got it.

Yes. This is from the manual "This child seat is certified for aircraft use. Most airlines in the U. S. And Canada will allow the use of a child seat as long as it is labeled as an approved child seat for use in aircraft and fits properly on the aircraft seat. Contact the airline about their policy prior to traveling."I have not used mine on a plane, but it recommends installing it in a window seat position and if the seatbelt on the plane is too short, the attendant should be able to provide an extender. Also, if the lap belts are inflatable (never have seen that) they are not compatible with his child seat. Hope this helps! Yes. This is from the manual "This child seat is certified for aircraft use.

This wheel chair folds up very nicely but I have never tried to take it on a plane. It folds up nicely for car transport. It doesn't weigh too much and I never had a problem getting it into the car. You will need to find out from the particular air carrier what their policy is regarding wheel chairs. Airplanes have to deal with wheel chairs and baby carriages all the time so I am sure they have a policy. Hopefully they allow you early boarding so you can wheel your loved one to the seat and then perhaps leave the wheel chair tagged at the end of the sky walk. I would check with each particular airline before flying. This wheel chair folds up very nicely but I have never tried to take it on a plane. It folds up nicely for car transport.

Sorry, I have never used it on an airplane, therefore I can not answer the question.

I haven't tried it on a plane.....honestly I dont use it as much as I thought I would have for the simple reason is.....I'm not really happy with it. It doesn't keep a charge, it takes a long time to start up, the resolution is not that well, sometimes it doesn't respond when you try to do something on it, and so on! I'm not that kind of person to complain, but it would maybe be a good starter for a kid! Hope my answer helped you!

I have a few and have used them in Britax and Peg-Perego convertible car seats, Chicco infant car seat, a swing and a high chair and it worked fine in all. Believe it would work in most (if not all) car seats.

I can tell you from experiance using this seat on an international flight it is great. I flew from Germany to Texas without a car seat. I had this one ordered and sent to my destination, as my daughter was about to out grow her infant car seat. On the flight back to Germany my husband buckled this seat into the normal plan seat, and within mins my daughter was asleep and slept the entire 10 hour plane ride, lucky we had a night time flight. We also had a rental car while in the states and it fit perfectly. I did not install this car seat my husband did, but he said it was easy both in the car and on the plane.

This booster seat is big and not for a toddler at all. It would be for a 6+ age group I think. It is not FAA approved. I don't know there is any booster seat that is approved for use in an airplane. I would suggest something like a Cosco Scenara.
