Graco Snugride 35

[tweety 1]

Hi,

Can anyone confirm me that the Graco Snugride 35 will fit into a economy airplane seat? We will be flying American Airlines.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The FAA does not control the approval of hard-backed child restraint systems (CRS), nor does it recommend one over another. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards set the standards that manufacturers must meet in order to sell approved CRSs. Only then are two labels approved to be attached to the seat and must read as follows:

*

This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards.

*

THIS RESTRAINT SYSTEM IS CERTIFIED FOR USE IN MOTOR VEHICLES AND AIRCRAFT.

if it does not have the above sticker, they may not let you use it on the plane.

It does have the sticker. I'm just asking if it fits in a economy seat cause the infant seat is on the large side. e.g. it won't fit on some shopping carts.

I am used to seeing everyone check their seats plane side. But most people don't pay for a separate seat for the child and have to hold the child all the way.
