Convertible car seats for travel

[mrsg123]

I cannot find a thread re: good convertible car seats to check. Can anyone rec a good/relatively lightweight seat to check while flying? Any recommendations are appreciated! Kids are 20 mos and 4 almost 5. TIA!

Cosco Scenera has been great for us. It's incredibly light and I would not care if it were damaged. It installs on a plane easily enough, too (we've gate-checked it once and used it in a purchased seat twice).

Thanks! I will look these up.

I took a Cosco Scenera to Cuba along with my 10 billion pounds of diapers, medicine and pretty much everything else I would need for 10 days. Very lightweight and easy to deal with. DD was 22 months at the time.

By age 4, I was traveling with a Trunki boostapak internationally and with a Graco Turbobooster within the U.S.

212 knows a really good one that I can't remember the name of. It's super lightweight and easy to install.

Combi Cocorro. But it's spendy and not great for tall kids. Other than that, it's a great seat.
