what issues will I face (bring the car seat and snap and go to the gate?) should she sit on my lap? should I buy an extra seat (2 hour flight) ect.
Answer
Snippet from the article :
1) If you BOOK a seat for your child, bring the car seat on the plane. If you DON'T book a seat, check your carseat as you would a bag - if you wind up trying to bring it on the plane ''in case'' there is an empty seat and there isn't, they'll need to gate check your carseat - uncovered - and it will get manhandled. To check it as luggage, we bought one of those embarassing but lifesaving ''backpack cases'' that you can place a carseat in and then wear it on your back. Goofy looking, yes. But have you ever tried to lug around a carseat? Plus, you can jam clothes into it.
...
Bring the stroller - you can check it at the gate (wheeling it to door of plane, doesn't count as luggage), and rolling baby around while carrying bags is infinitely easier than carrying baby while carrying bags.
...
As for food - BRING SOME. Bring extra. Bring something like a cookie that you'd ordinarily not let him/her eat. I make sure I have more than enough food in case of delays, etc.
...
And some unsolicited advice: I often offer to buy my immediate seatmates (front/back/next) a glass of wine as soon as we're all seated - I pre-apologize about their sitting next to a baby and offer the glass of wine. It's a great ice-breaker and disarms most of the people we've flown with.
2) The airline (United) lost our bags---and with it all his clothes, food, diapers. So I'd recommend packing a couple of days worth of clothes, diapers, PJs, jars, etc. in case something like that happens to you (not that I'd wish it on you!) Do take food with you. There's nothing worse than arriving after a long plane trip and having to scurry around looking for somewhere to get basic supplies.
...
As for the carseat on the plane, I'd bring it. We had a seat for our son and he was able to nap in the carseat. Set it in the plane seat facing you if you can--that way your son can't kick the seat in front of him :)
...
And do bring a stroller, a light one if you have it. Even if you're Bjorning the baby, a stroller is good for loading up with a bag or two in airports! Some strollers also carry some carseats (w/o baby), which makes getting around a bit easier.

Is the JanSport All Nighter backpack good?
so_happily
Hi all,
Looking at buying the JanSport All Nighter backpack to take on my travels on the airplane with me - specifically interested in it being able to take my 15 inch laptop, but also for other bits and bobs that I'll want on me.
Can't seem to find any reviews online. Has anyone got one? Is it good?
Thanks!
Answer
I have one and it's bulletproof. Been everywhere with that baby and even dropped out of the gondola at squaw Valley a couple of winters back. They have been in the biz for over 40 years so they know there stuff. And they wear like iron.
