Seriously! Can't we just stop?!?!
Look, no matter what people "say" or "push" or "scream" or whatever, until the FAA requires a carseat for ALL children under a certian age, people WILL bring kids under 2 as lap children.
You people HAVE TO STOP!
The Baby B'Air may not be approved or allowed for take offs & landings. BUT IT IS allowed during the flight time. So ENOUGH!
I personally always buy the extra seat for my DS unless we are in first class, which frankly we usually are. And once he turns to, we will buy him a seat in first class.
But you know where he spends most of the flight? ON MY LAP. Why? Because he and I are playing, he is sleeping my my arms, he wants to stretch, whatever.
And another thing, it is really NON of your business if my son is in my arms or in a carseat.
You can preach & throw statistcs all you want. But people are going to bring kids on planes as lap children, until the FAA does not allow it any longer.
And I think they will allow it as long as airlines charge the prices they do for tickets. Our flights to Europe a few months ago were $13,000 a peice. Yes $13,000. Sure we flew first class. But I was not spening that money for my son to sit on my lap, & would have even if he had his own seat.
We used the Baby B'Air. It worked WONDERFULLY. DS & I both got to get some good sleep on the 9 hour flight. And I knew he was secured to me.
No matter how many times you scream "a child needs to be on the floor in an emergency", there is NO WAY most mothers are going to think "Well I will just put my kid on the floor.". Most mothers (like me) are going to hold onto that kid for dear life. And yes I can hold onto my son in turbulance. I have done it before.
Can't we just let this conversation end?
Frankly it is just getting nastier and nastier. Enough is enough already.
