Before our flight--Confirm car seats are certified for airline use (we use the Clek Foonf) and book tickets for the kids.

Airport arrival—Uninstall car seats from the car and strap on to car seat carts in recline position 1 (which its most upright). The cart makes transporting the car seats easier (our 2 year old son can easily pull it!). The kids don’t ride in the carts much, but it’s nice they can doubles as a stroller which is helpful for tight connections or rolling kids to sleep on long layovers.

Checking luggage— We remove and check the rear-facing base and anti-rebound bar.

Airport security check—Like most car seats, ours doesn't fit through the x-ray machine, so it requires manual inspection.

Gate— If we aren’t able to book window seats ahead of time, we do this at the gate so the car seats will not obstruct egress. We opt to select seats one in front of the other in case our littlest decides to kick the seat.

Boarding- We pre-board as part of family boarding to give us more time to get settled. We like to board together versus one adult setting up the seats alone because the kids actually enjoy the time before the flight to explore the airplane. The Foonf is very narrow (only 16.9” wide), so it rolls down the aisle easily. We roll the seat right up to our row, collapse & store the cart in the overhead bin.

Seat install— We use the airplane lap belt through the forward-facing belt path to secure the seat, referencing our manual for lap belt install. It only takes 30 seconds from start to finish. Having a car seat on board is safer in cases such as turbulence or aborted landings, but our kids also appreciate their familiar, comfortable seat over an adult-sized airline seat. When they sit in the Foonf they are easily able to see out the window too. We can still use the arm rests, however the tray table isn’t able to be used.

Disembark—We wait until the plane is nearly empty to take our time so we can check under the seats for lost toys and set the car seats back up on the cart.
