Will this seat fit on an airplane?

I'm sorry but I'm not sure if it would fit on a plane. It's pretty big, I would like to say yes, but I'm not 100% sure. I think it would be "cutting it close" due to it's size. Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

Check the recaro website to see if it's approved for airline usage. Not every carseat or booster is. For instance, their performance sport is in carseat mode, but not booster mode. It will be clearly stated there, otherwise you can ask them on their Facebook page, they're awesome about answering questions there

The FAA website says that as long as the car seat is 16" wide or less, it will fit. We are preparing to bring it on a flight next week, so I just measured ours and the width (the widest part, which is the base) is 15-1/2", so it will fit. Others who have said the seat is 18" wide are just going by what is listed on the product details page, but I believe that is the width of the shipping box.

The bag has a large capacity. So, of course, the fit depends on how much you put in it. I have not tried to take it on a plane as a carry on, so dimensions have not been tested.

Yes, this carrier will fit with no problems. It is actually a very nice carrier, perfect for flying.

This will be a tight squeeze if you are using it rear facing in a small vehicle, but forward facing it would fit fine. It is very heavy compared to a regular infant seat and I usually have to have my husband help me when I need to switch cars. It is very comfortable for my daughter, but I highly doubt it will fit on an airplane comfortably. A large international flight you would be ok, but on any smaller jets you would be hard pressed to make it fit. Hope that helps!

No it will collapse under the seat around the animal. I did not have any problem with it fitting. Now I flew Delta a larger plane. I am not sure about the smaller airlines.

I doubt it would fit. It's a pretty tall carrier. You're better off looking for something that's more horizontal and, of course, calling the airline to find out what their requirements are.

Not sure my answer will help. The RelaxoBak is 18" wide; according to google, airplane seats are between 17 & 18" wide. You could call your airline and ask them the width of their seats. This would be perfect for long flights. My dh didn't think to bring his on a 12 hour flight.....

Yes, it fits easily under airplane seats. I used it on my most recent trip to NYC.

Hi Judith, its a pretty big seat. We have always checked in our car seat at the counter. In the past, we tried lugging a car seat (Britax Marathon and its about the same size as this seat) and installing it on the economy air plane seat once and will not do it again. It's too much of a hassle. It was such a tight fit that the person in the front of my child's seat can't recline. I ended up holding my child's leg the whole flight so she couldn't kick the seat in front of her.

Yes it does fit under the seat on aircraft. I have the pack filled about 60 percent including side pockets and there is still a bit of room left to fit.

We used it on a regional jet from Montreal. It fit under the seat in front of us. Leg room was a bit cramped but that should be expected. You might want to upgrade to get more leg room.

I don't think it would be too wide for a plane. It is bigger than the food tray that folds down from the seat in front of you.

Hi Jean! This back support would not work for airplane seats. The straps help stabilize the support in place especially since it's a 3-prong cushion. Hope this helps :)

I have used this seat on several long distance flights and yes, it does fit. Airlines don't seem to like car seats placed in aisle seats unless the entire row consists of "family" (related to or traveling together). The side impact cushions do crowd ever so slightly into the next seat--really a non-issue for most though, especially if next to a family member. I am 6'4" and about 220lbs . . . I am a little aware of the impact cushions, but not anywhere near as inconvenienced as I am by the airlines' reduction in leg room---but I digress. Truthfully, if it keeps my daughter safer, I would endure anything . . . but this is really not an issue with this car seat . . . and if you can place this car seat in a window seat and you sit next to it, it is a non-issue.

It is big and heavy. I dont think it will fit in Airline Economy class seat.

The answer is probably. It depends on the airline for actual room under seat. Keep in mind that just because an item can fit under the seat of an airline seat, this does not mean that it meets the airline's size requirement.
