Airtran and carseats: seat assignment question

[NotUrsula]

I fly a lot, but somehow I've never had occasion to use a carseat on AirTran before. It will be my first time doing so in a situation where the airline offers optional purchased seat assignments vs. last-day freebie seat assignments.

I understand that there is no charge for seat assignments for disabled persons who must have certain seat positions. Does anyone know if that no-charge rule also applies to carseats on board + one adult, since those also are restricted by location?

I'll call to be sure, but I was curious if anyone had managed to get a carseat a pre-assigned "legal" assigned space at no charge.

Not it does not apply. You will still need to pay the seat assignment.

If you get one of those $25 airtran vouchers they are giving way..you can select your seats and just use the voucher to pay for them so it will be free for you and guarentee your child a seat next to you.
