Can I roll a RadianXTSL down an airplane aisle on a GoGoKidz?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

In a few weeks, I will be taking a transatlantic flight (on Continental), with my two boys - aged 3 1/2 and 1 1/2. I will be flying alone with them, so am trying to figure out the logistics. I have flown alone with them both one time previously, and it actually went better than I expected. I am still dreading this, though...especially now that my younger one is at such a wiggly age.

 

We have two carseats-a Boulevard and a Radian, and I will be bringing one of them on board the plane. Last time I flew alone, I brought the Boulevard, and I promised myself I would never to do that again. What a hassle! The Radian is heavy, but I have a feeling it will be a better choice.

 

Our family travels a lot, and we do have a GoGoKidz. (In retrospect, I wish we had just gotten a luggage cart, but what's done is done.) So anyway, my question is simply: does anyone know for a fact that the GoGoKidz will fit down an airplane aisle with a Radian on it? We will be sitting in the very back row, so once I get it to our seats we won't block the other passengers. Being able to do this would be a HUGE help for me. All in all, I have to get the two kids (one with a small toy backpack), the car seat, a backpack and a diaper bag (which can attach to the GoGoKidz) down the aisle, and I have only the GoGoKidz and a MeiTai baby carrier to help me. (Oh, we also have a CARES.) It will be difficult for me to make two trips, since I can't leave my toddler in the back of the plane without me. (Frankly, I'm not sure I should leave the 3 year old there either.)

 

So, will my plan work?

I've rolled it down the aisle on many planes on a luggage cart.  Is the go-go kidz any wider than the radian?  If its the same width or narrower, it will fit just fine.  If its a lot wider than maybe not.

Here is a discussion about the topic. Maybe there will be some info on there that helps you. Good luck!

I'm a CAL flight attendant....I've not used the GoGoKidz, but I can tell you that some of our aircraft have wider aisles than others.  I can offer some insight if you happen to know what aircraft you'll be on.  The aisle in BusinessFirst on the 757 is fairly narrow now that we've installed the lie-flat seats - so navigating those first 4 rows might be a bit tight if you're on that type of plane.  In the past when traveling alone with the wee ones, I've left an item or two in the jetway while getting other things situated.  It isn't ideal to go back and forth for a number of reasons, but it can be done if need be!  Please send me a pm if I can help.  :-)
