Strollers on planes

**~clover~** · March 5th, 2014, 09:49 AM

I'm wondering about car seats with the new laws. Last time I flew dd3 was under 2, so her seat was free to take & we hired a seat at the other end for DS.

This June though both will be over 2 & both need car seats. I will likely hire a car, but up to $200 to hire car seats just doesn't make sense.

I will likely have to pay, because unless some amazing sale comes up, I'll be flying with tiger air, but I'm still wondering what others experiences have been in the same situation.

We used a Quicksmart one that folded into a backpack when we travelled with infants. That way we could take it in the plane as carry on luggage. It was never weighed or questioned. We took it domestically and internationally - it was a life saver!

The new Mountain Buggy Nano is apparently small enough folded for the overhead lockers

That's what we use too! Loads of international flights with lots of different carriers and never a problem.

I just checked the tiger website, and it says for children aged between 2 and 6 they will take one item of the following free of charge, port a cot, car restraint, pram or high chair..
