If I'm travelling with my kids I'm minimizing the amount of crap I have to manuver through the airport. The car seats are already a significant portion of that bulk and those go in the seat. We have backpacks that go under the seats and maybe one medium duffel bag that goes in the overhead between the 4 to 7 of us.
