Bella29 - I know, the security thing is a pain! When I had my close baby carrier the metal rings set off the alarms so I had to take Mitchell out. However this is another reason why I love my ergo - no metal! I've been through a few different security gates with him now, including airports and I haven't had to take him out. Very handy, especially as I normally travel on my own.

Loulita - just another thing I thought of - if there is room the airline will normally block out the seat next to you if they can. Just ring up and ask. Hope it goes well.
