Re: Travelling by air with a Kelty Kid Carrier and Yellowstone questions

Do you need the portacrib? It might be a good opportunity to try the
two year old sleeping on a pallet (sp?) or in a sleeping bag. Of course
the main concern there might be bugs in the cabin. You could locate a
second hand store to pick up a portacrib too--then take it back to them.

I have always worn my back-pack carrier in the airport, but my kids were
a little bit younger when I did it. As someone else mentioned, the
cosmetic issue is the main concern. As far as safety goes, you should
tie the support leg closed and tape down the waist straps and any other
straps so that they don't get caught in any conveyers. If you have an
old pillow case, that may work as a good cover for it. Make sure there
is a luggage tag on it.

I don't think the "cabins" are really cabins. They are just really basic
motel rooms attached in groups of 4 or 8 or something, from what I can
tell.

Our backup plan is to bunch up a bedspread or something on the floor
and let him sleep on that. If he balks, we can put him to sleep in
our bed and then move him. I suppose we could bring the thin
vinyl-covered-foam mattress that we have him sleep on when we go
camping.

I think we will both have other things on our backs in the airport, which
is why I want to try to check it. :)

Thanks for the thoughts,
