 We took the folded Dionos on a collapsible luggage cart
 and then installed them front facing. Our kids were 23
 months at that time, I am not sure at what point you
 can do forward facing.The Dionos were heavy but much
 better than lap, coach in size when not used and we had
 no experience with the CARES harness. Because our trip
 had 15 hours of flight each way plus car trips it was
 the best solution.Alessandra

 We have the diono but felt they were way too heavy to
 take on the plane. A lot of people I know travel with
 the Cosco Scerena. Its really cheap, really light, and
 very safe. We ended up buying an Eddie Bauer to travel
 with (my parents use it in their car and it just seemed
 more comfortable for the kids than the Cosco). The
 Eddie Bauer is a little more expensive and slightly
 larger, but also very light and fits in airplane seats
 and down the aisle. We also wheeled the car seats down
 the plane with the girls strapped in. We installed them
 forward facing- not sure you can even do it rear
 facing- and it was easy. Just annoying for the people
 sitting in front because our girls kicked a lot. We
 were the last people off the plane, but other than that
 it was really convenient. Some more unsolicited advice-
 bring easy snacks. My girls wouldn't eat real food the
 whole 14 hours on the plane, and they are usually good
 eaters. But they snacked on cheerios the entire time
 and it was the only thing that made them happy. Drove
 me nuts because I had a giant bag of food prepared.
 Good luck!

 Hi Melanie, do you know who's keeping the travel closet
 now? We are gearing up for our first trip with our
 twins in early July and I was wondering what might be
 available to borrow. I'd love to see if there was a
 twins umbrella stroller so we don't have to being our
 giant one. Thanks!
