We have not flown in many years, last time I flew I only had 3 kids and they were all under the age of 4!
We will need the car seats for both our 3 year old and 6 year old for the rental car and I am not fond of checking car seats as they can easily be damaged and would prefer to carry them on board the plane and have them ride in their seats.
I will just check with the gate attendant when we get there to see what we need to do! I also plan to check-in as soon as we are at 24 hours out!
We also do not mind sitting towards the back of the plane.

We are flying in 9 days and I'm wondering if our whole family will be eligible to board with family boarding?
We will have 2 adults, 4 kids ages 10, 9, 6 and 3. We will likely have our 3 and 6 year olds in their carseats and I wouldn't be able to carry both seats myself, so I'd need my husband to board with me, but we obviously wouldn't leave our 9 and 10 year olds alone.
Thank you!!

Thanks for the response . I will only have one bag to check and the boxed carseat, checking a carseat in the original packaging is the only safe way to do so according to carseat safety technicians. I travel very light so I am not worried about incuring extra baggage fees.

Hi. I will be flying in December on a direct flight each way. My dilema is which option would be doable: A. Put my 1 year old, and 4 year old in the window and middle seats in their carseats and myself in the aisle and my 5 year old across from me in the aisle seat (I would check his carseat in the original manufacturer box and packing materials). Or B. Put my 4 and 5 year olds in their carseats in the window and middle seat and have the 1 year old as a lap infant and check her carseat in the original manufacturer box and packing materials. Am I allowed to have 3 children on one row with myself as the only adult? Anyone who has had to fly like this, please let me know. Thanks. And before anyone asks - having a carseat waiting at my destination is not possible as I still have a 3 hour drive to go. Nor will I rent a carseat as you do not know if they have properly been taken care of or have any recalls.
