1-yr old wiht own seat but no baby seat
OK. Flying transatlantic in a few weeks with our young son.
We've got him his own seat (It'd be a nightnmare without !) but don't plan to use a car seat as well. I'm assuming hes, therefore, going to have to sit on our lap and be held for takeoff/landing/seatbelt on times? But is it then ok for him to sit/lie on his reserved seat at other times ? |

Once at your destination, how will you travel safely without a carseat. alec |

I'm assuming hes, therefore, going to have to sit on our lap and be held for takeoff/landing/seatbelt on times? You might want to reconsider that decision not to have a booster/child seat for your son. Have you ever been in an accident where you are thrown against your belt? Now consider it will be YOUR weight flying forward against your child's body and the seat belt in the event of turbulance or a difficult landing. Should be fine for him to sit/lie in his reserved seat at other times, but please consider what might happen to a child on your lap if the seatbelt were REALLY needed. -- Kimbis |

Also, if you put the child in his carseat, it can help can help reduce
irratibility on his part since he will be familiar with his carseat. This will in turn help reduce irratibility of yourself and other passengers. On 22 Oct 2004 13:33:29 GMT, (Kim Dyer) wrote: OK.
