Hi - hope I'm not too late to help you. We have a Quinny Zapp and have taken it as far afield as Bali and swear by it. It folds really small, has a great carry bag and fits in overhead lockers on planes as it is not much larger than any other bag that people take on. You may find some airlines insist on you putting it in the hold but with the carry bag nothing sticks out to break and you will always find it on a carousel, unlike a Maclaren! Some are OK and let you take it on board, depends if the luggage tag is visible... It doesn't recline, but neither does the average car seat and we have not had any problems with our son sleeping in it, a neck brace can double as a toy and will fit in the bag for transportation. It folds so small it is perfect for bus, train, even hiding under the table at restaurants. Have a great holiday, or hope you enjoyed it if you have already been!
