Its probably more important to get the timing of the trip right, rather than the aircraft type. It seems like most of the folks are recommending to bring the car seat and install on the seat. Does anyone have any experience with the CARES harness system? I'm assuming I still need to bring the car seat for the rental car at destination too. Just thinking of ways to keep baby as calm as possible.

At 18month old, CARES will be far too small.

Bring the car seat and use it on board. You'll appreciate the ability to restrain the child.
The time frame between 1 and 2 was a horrible time for my kid to fly. The car seat was a life saver.
