What car seats or approved by airlines?
In order to be certified for use on an airplane, the car seat has to met the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Check the labels on the side of your car restraint for a sticker (words will be printed in red) for verification that your seat is safe for airplane use. Almost all car seats pass this requirement. You should check your owners/instruction manual for confirmation, and verify that your car seat has the approval sticker on it. Here is a picture of what the sticker looks like: http://jamiehassen79.angelfire.com/flyin... Booster seats are NOT approved for use in airplanes. That being said, some airlines will allow certain booster seats. For example, Southwest Airlines allows the Century Breverra Booster Seat, but none other. http://www.southwest.com/travel_center/i... You should call your airline to see if they allow certain booster seats or not. If they do, it will most likely be a booster seat that has a high back, and a harness system. There is also a new device that is approved by the FAA for airline use ONLY. It is called CARES (Child Aviation Restraint System) and costs $75. It weighs 1 pound, is certified for all phases of flight (taxiing, take off, turbulence and landing), adjusts to fit ALL size airplane seats, and is approved for kids 22–44 lbs. http://www.kidsflysafe.com/ I've been flying internationally and domestically with my children since they were 2 months (now 8&6 and baby number 3 was born 23 December - she is making her first plane trip this week!). At least three trips a year are the children and I traveling internationally (14+ hours each way) alone. In addition to that, we do another 8-10 international and domestic flights a year as a family. I have never had any problems with my children on any of the flights. I wrote a small article about flying with children that goes more in-depth, gives security rules and regulations for the US, EU, UK, and Australia, offers tips and tricks for the travel, etc. http://www.angelfire.com/jamiehassen79/flying_children.html If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.
Is this infant carseat aircraft approved?
I see you're in the UK based on the name of the car seat, and your referral to group 1. In the US, almost all car seats with harnesses are airline approved- generally the ones that are too big to fit on the plane aren't. I would assume the infant seat you're interested in would be. You can buy it now and just read the manual when you get the car seat.

How do I know with car seats are airline aproved?
How do I use a car seat on a plane? What's the best way to secure my baby's car seat on a plane? Expert Answers Karl Neumann, pediatrician First, I'm glad to hear that you want to use a car seat for your child during flight. It's ironic that the law requires everything in an airplane cabin to be battened down during takeoff, landing, and turbulence except infants and young children. Although the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommend using aircraft-compatible car seats while flying, no airline requires them and not enough parents use them. The answer to your question depends largely on what your child weighs. If he's under 20 pounds, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends that the car seat face the rear, as you would secure it in a car. If your child weighs between 20 and 40 pounds, the seat should face forward. These weight guidelines are for your child's safety and comfort. Once he reaches more than 40 pounds, he can use the airplane seat's regular safety belt. Before you bring a car seat on board an airplane, make sure it's FAA-approved for that use. The label should read, "This restraint certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft." To fit into a typical coach seat, the car seat should be no wider than 16 inches. Make sure it's big enough to fit your child; the shoulder straps should come out above his shoulders. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully when strapping your child into the seat. Car seats should always be used next to windows so they don't block other passengers in an emergency, so be sure to book a window seat ahead of time. A final note: Avoid using booster car seats on airplanes — children may be crushed against them if their airline seat suddenly flops forward under pressure. That's why booster seats are banned during takeoff, landing, and turbulence. Community Answers
Do I have to use an approved car/booster seat on Alaska Airlines?
I am booked on a flight on Alaska Airlines next year with my 1.5 year old. He is flying on a full fare adult ticket not a discounted infant fare (usually 1/2 price). Both our tickets are points tickets (Perth through to Vancouver on Qantas then Alaska AL). Qantas does not require a booster seat for children in their own seat, even if they are under 2 (ie. infants) so I was not planning on bringing a car seat as I am travelling alone and will have enough to carry as it is. I read on the Alaska AL website that "children travelling on 50% infant ticket seats must use a booster/car seat approved for car and air travel". I'm wondering, given that my son will be travelling on a full fare adult ticket whether he needs the booster seat? What will they do if I don't have one, not let us on the flight? Or, shall I just lie and say he's 2 - or just board the flight with him in his own seat w/out booster and they will assume is is two and not longer an infant and therefore no booster required.
Eddie Bauer Deluxe Convertible car seat FAA approved?
I thought I'd try and help you out since no one else has answered your question. I did an internet search for this seat and couldn't figure out if it had FAA approval either. I'd recommend you call Eddie Bauer and ask them directly. As for finding a seat that works best, I'd check out the guidelines listed on our airlines website. I did find the site for Southwest Airlines and it might help you as well.
Car seat and strollers on a plane?
Federal Aviation Laws Prohibit Car Seats and Push Chairs in the Passenger Cabin of the Aircraft. The Car Seat should be checked in at the Check-in Desk along with luggage. The Push Chair can only be taken as far as the Air-crafts Door. It Will be left in the Jetty, until a member of staff can load it into the Fuselage with the rest of the passengers luggage.

Should car seats be used outside cars?
I'm not sure what you mean, but…Car seats can be used in both auto vehicles, and most of them are FAA-approved to be used on airplanes. Car seat manuals will specify how to use in an aircraft if approved.Rear-facing only seats, or infant seats, are designed to click into a coordinating stroller, so that you can take baby from vehicle to stroller without disturbing them. HOWEVER: the position that babies are put into when they're in a car seat is not a position that they should be in for long periods of time, as this can actually result in positional asphyxia (suffocation). It can also result in the much less dangerous flatness on the back of the head.
