UNDER the seat only? This means I can't take her out and hold her? Sob, whine, cry.....

I don't know if I can leave her under the seat that long!! It is many hours to NJ from CA since I usually have to change planes at least once. I don't suppose begging and pleading would do much good either, huh?
Now I am getting stressed. She's my BABY!!
Tootie's mom....did you take your sweetie out or did it have to stay under the seat?????
