Hi
We fly with first choice on the 18 May to Lazarote,we are going with our so,partner and or 9 months old grandson,we booked a seat for the grandson,using a car seat and wonder if anybody as any knowledge on a good lightweight car seat that we can buy for this purpose,or have done the same and can give us any info at all.
Thank you
It's on a a special in Mothercare stores at £59.99 at the moment - a decent no frills seat that's easy to fit - most others need a lap & diagonal belt which of course can't be used on a plane.
Hope that helps.

Call your airline, and they will advise what kind of seat are permitted onboard. Most airlines insist on forward facing, five point harness, rigid construction.
It must be one that can use with just a lap strap also, as that is how it is secured on the plane seat.

I'd say from weight and size point of view tho' that the Freeway would be your better option - I'm a car seat fitter for Mothercare and weighing everything up I would personally recommend the Freeway for aircraft travel.
Yes a Freeway would be better as it is cheaper and if it is lighter that is great
The Renaissance also allows a lap belt but that's even heavier than the Eclipse.
Not sure about any of the Maxi Cosi range - to be honest it's VERY rare we get anyone wanting to fit a seat in the middle anymore and most new cars have the lap & diagonal.
