Let's get the topic for Airlines and Car Seats (Britax Marathon) Below :

We are planning on going to Europe this summer and would like to take our Britax Marathon car seat with us, our Baby will be 7 1/2 months by the time we would like to leave to Europe.

My question is, do we have to check-in the seat with the airline or is it a carry on? The car seat is 15 1/2 lbs.

Will they consider the car seat as a luggage? If so, will I be only able to take a luggage of clothes for myself and the baby?

Definitely get a ticket for your baby and use the Marathon ON the plane. You aren't required to, but its a really good idea to take one. Kids do better when they have their seat on the plane, same as in the car. They are less likely to want to run around and such since they are used to being put in a car seat whenever traveling. And believe it are not, they are safer. Should turbulence happen, they are less likely to be injured or scared. And if you purchase a ticket for your child and bring an FAA approved seat (which the Marathon IS FAA approved) they MUST let you use it.
