I travel all the time with my son. The stroller actually makes it easier becasue I can load it up with everything and then check it planeside. Plus, I've found that some airports don't have high chairs... can you belive that! So, I use the stoller to feed him. I always check the car seat with the luggage. If you can't put the carseat on top of the stroller you can pull the straps out all the way and sling it over your back like a backpack. My last trip I had the giant carseat, a stroller, 2 bags, my non-walking son and diaper bag. It's not so bad once you get everything checked in. And, if you can do curb side check in... do it! Also, let him run around as much as he can before the trip. Lucklily Ohio is a short trip. Good luck!
