Hey don't blame the flight attendants!!!!!!!...I cant tell you the number of times I have asked people to follow this rule and I walk back five rows and the parent puts the kid back in the carrier. We can only tell you to do something so many times...after going back and telling you again, for my safety I have to be back at my jumpseat for landing. There is a reason for the rules and a reason we enforce it (we aren't power control witches...believe me my job would be so much easier if I didn't have to enforce any rules) Bjorns/ergos etc are prohibited for takeoff because your child will have a better chance of survival without it (per faa crash testing) Apart from the possibility of it being crushed by the force of your body (with nowhere to move to) if you are incapacitated or worse any passenger or crew does not have the time to untangle your surviving baby from you and the bjorn (easier for a passenger to just grab the baby as they run past you).....we have seconds to get everybody out of the plane in a serious crash. Whilst Im on my rant......please do not allow your child to sleep on the floor at your row with its head stuck out into the aisle especially on a night flight when we are going by with our carts, please also don't argue with us when during turbulence we ask ou to get your child off the floor and into a seat belt (especially since you are wearing yours) Thanks for allowing me to vent
