Mrs. Milesjamie, Milesjamie Jr. (who will be 13mo; 22lb; 30in at time of travel), and I will be doing BOS-PVG (Shanghai) for a couple weeks. This will be Jr.'s first airplane trip. I am not looking forward to 17+ hours of travel time, and my question is your thoughts whether whatever extra padding is on the $160 Cocorro will make a difference on a plane vs. the $40 Scenera. I am assuming the price difference is partly in the padding? I would pay the $120 difference if it meant for a happy baby but I see the Scenera recommended over and over for long distance airplane travel and it may be good enough as is.

I am a little concerned about an Amazon review that says the (paraphrasing) their baby couldn't stand the seat after 30 minutes. That could be true for a thousand reasons but I wanted to get your success or failure stories with these seats for really long-haul travel.
