Meaning a backless booster. I have looked into it a little and found that the booster cannot be used ON the plane..but will I need to pay to lug it around with me as if it were another piece of luggage?
We have not flown before and I have no idea what I am doing haha.
I considered purchasing a cheap one upon arrival but then I still need to bring it back home, I guess..
Thoughts from anyone who has dealt with this before?
I will also gladly take any other travel/plane related tips you may have.
Thanks.
I guess I might have to call. Thanks.
Quoting kam013:
I know when we traveled with my GS, they allowed us to check a stroller and carseat and DID NOT count it as "checked" luggage. I would think a booster would be similar to a car seat. Call a travel agent or an airline directly if you are still concerned. Different airlines have different rules.
Thank you.

I've flown 3x with a booster, and have never been charged to check it. It might depend in the airline, so if call to double check.
I would not recommend checking a booster or any car seat. They get thrown around by baggage handlers and during flight, so a strong possibility of damage. A backless booster might be small enough to count as a personal item or carry on. There is also an inflatable backless booster called the BubbleBum which is great for travel and will fit inside your carry on or purse.
