Babies, Car Seats and Flights
Having worked for an airline for years, both friends and readers alike have asked me about flying with infants, and whether you can take an infant car seat on board a flight. So, can you bring your infant’s car seat on board?
Currently, you do have the choice between carrying a child under two years old as a lap baby (no seat) on almost every airline, or purchasing a seat for your child. If you choose to purchase a seat, or chance it and try for an unoccupied seat for your child, the question then becomes whether you can bring the car seat you already own on board.
Having traveled with the under 2 set, I can tell you that it really can be confusing. And airlines are starting to restrict what you can check in for free, the types of strollers you can bring to the gate – and more. So let’s look at what makes an infant car seat acceptable to bring on board.
