If it's a long journey, allow plenty of time for breaks so they can stretch their legs and get a break from the car seat. It's important not to keep them in their car seat for too long anyway (Baby Routes, 2012; Baby Can Travel, 2017).
Many pediatricians recommend waiting until your child is at least 3 months old before traveling long distances. This allows for their immune system to be better developed, making them more resistant to infections. This applies to babies who are born full-term and have no other health conditions.
I swear by lightweight travel strollers and always take along a baby carrier and diaper backpack for a hands-free airport experience. I like to book rental properties with as many baby and kid amenities already present as possible, such as a crib, high chair and more to avoid taking extra stuff along.
