Convertible car seats
Our daughter was 18 months old when we brought her home and we bought a convertible car seat for the ride home -- rear facing for infants and forward facing for babies over 20 lbs. We actually didn't use it rear facing at all, but that's because she was around 20 lbs when we brought her home.
I believe airlines require children over 2 to be in their own seat. I personally wouldn't travel without a car seat in the plane for a child of ANY age. I knew someone whose child was permenently brain damaged because she lost hold of him when her plane hit turbulence. There is something called a Sit & Stroll which is a stroller/car seat combination that is FAA approved. I highly recommend it -- we used it for our daughter coming home from India.
