Why do you fly with your infant on your lap if you can afford another seat?

[Anonymous]

The car seat was a disaster. We tried it at 18 months flying to California, and it was so bad that we left the seat there and bought a new one when we got home. He kicked the seat in front of him the whole time, screamed for 5 hours from being restrained, and couldn't sleep because the seat was too upright. Worst trip we've ever done, and we've flown cross country easily 10 times in the last 4 years.

We now have to buy him a seat (he's 4), but I will never again lug a car seat on board.

+1. OP seems to have lost it.

And yet you all continue to answer. So I’d say you’re just as fixated on this thread as I am.

Dude - I responded once (well now twice).

I for one am fixated on what a nut you are. I'll give you that.

Besides, it's slow here at work, and I love a good trainwreck.

I think op is drunk. Very odd behavior. Hopefully she gets help soon.

You all can call me a sanctimommy all you want, but you’re still choosing the less safe option for no good reason.

Can you imagine this lady's poor children. Being raised by a completely neurotic mother has to be 1000000000X worse that any of the risks listed in this thread.

My thoughts exactly.
For her own kids’ sake, I hope this is a troll post. But I fear it is not.

Yes because following FAA and AAP recommendations must mean I’m neurotic about my kid’s safety to the point where I don’t let her do anything ...

The extreme harping on this very minor risk is weird. Not a cool person.

But HIGHLY entertaining! What a riot OP is.

And I’m home today waiting for contractors to come. Kid is at daycare. So I’m killing time watching you all get all worked up trying to defend your choices that go against all expert guidance.

Expert guidance also told me to breastfeed for a year. But I didn't. And yet, my kid is healthy and thriving and in college.

This makes me think OP does have some serious issues. Now I feel bad for making fun of someone with some sort of intellectual/mental disability. Or at least a major lack of self awareness.

Really not the same thing, but alright. If that makes you feel better.

Alright, you all win. Everyone who buys a seat for their kid is neurotic. You all are eminently reasonable. Congrats.

Nah. I bought seats for my kids. But you sound like a lunatic. Move on.
