I really believe we would actually get away with him being a lap child; but I'm not going to risk a Sunday evening disaster at the aiport to save a few hundred dollars. I have only been asked his birthday once ever... and they just wanted his month/year not specific date. I think it was US Air or American. My toddler talks a fair amount but I don't think he knows how old he is and like most toddlers, mainly his family members understand him.
Oh, and I don't get the drama about lap baby safety. Do you install a car seat on your metro rides? What about airport shuttle, do you avoid that too?
I have been on planes that encountered rough turbulance unexpectedly, causing drinks to fly and flight attendents to fall down. If I had had a kid in my lap, I wouldn't have been able to hold on to him or her in time.
I don't install a car seat on metro and airport shuttle because I can't. I do have the ability to buy a ticket for my child and put him/her in a carseat, and that's what I always did.
