Travel to USA with a 6 and a half month old & an almost 3 year old

Thanks Amber. Were you able to anchor the car seat the same in the american car as we do in Australia? The other option I suppose was to hire a car seat whilst over there so that we don't have to worry. We will have to take a domestic flight from LA to Tuscon so need to be careful of all the excess luggage as they may not allow it. Thanks again.

I can't remember how we anchored the car seat, I think it was the same as here because I don't remember DH mentioning it.
It was really great for the flight because it meant my DD had to sit still and was comfortable doing it because she was used to sitting in her car seat. And because you'll have to pay for her seat it means that you can take luggage for her so excess baggage probably won't be a problem because it will be spread out over the 3 of you (does that make sense?!)
They'll have cots on the plane for your youngest so that won't be a problem either.
I say go for it, we had so much fun we're planning another trip over for February!
