Infant Travel

[as2]

When traveling with a forward facing car seat, is there a way to avoid the buckle being right in your kid's back?

Not IME, but my kid never seemed to notice.

I managed to get the buckle past the back of the seat.

Might depend on the car seat. Our Britax CT does not work with the buckle in back, and we've always managed to close it on the side.  Then again, it's a bit loose on the side which kind of defeats the purpose...

Does anyone have experience flying on air Canada to lhr? Would they allow me to gate check my city mini gt double and would I get it back at the gate at lhr?

AA metal. Been discussed before. Yet have a policy that is a bit over a year old. No bulky strollers or any strollers over 20lbs

Is this still enforced? asking about taking a double stroller on AA, and who enforces it? In other words, if I get past security, will they make me take it back when I get to the gate?  Asking about AA Domestic small plane flight.
(Not checking in luggage, so I will be going straight to security)

Wife and I purchased RT flight to Israel on the United Deal that Dan posted a while ago. At the time my wife was pregnant so we did not add a lap infant. Just called United to add lap child and was under the impression that they would charge 10% of current fare which is approximately $1100. However, rep told my wife that it would be over $600 to add lap child. Any advice? Flying out this coming Wednesday.

What is the standard policy of gate-checking booster seats without a back, like this?

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Cosco-Rise-Booster-Car-Seat-Black-Onyx/527347571

Its not a car seat by FAA standards but is similar.

I'd like to bring it on low cost carriers- Spirit, etc.

Thanks

How do you book a ticket for an infant that has not yet been born?
International. So usually 10% of parent's ticket price.
We want to book now, when the price of the ticket may be lower than after the kid is born.  But we don't have a first name for the kid yet.


Also, how soon after birth will the parents be able to get a passport for the kid - I assume it will need one?
