[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because millions of lap babies fly annually and serious injuries to lap children are like being struck by lightning. If I had unlimited money I’d buy a seat, but I don’t. The $1000 a year we could have spent to buy seats for a lap child was put to other uses that had a statistically greater impact in his wellbeing, like buying healthy foods, a car seat that allows extended rearfacing, installing a fence in the backyard, etc.

There is ALWAYS more you could do to protect your child. Why not buy the safest vehicle on the market to drive him around? Isn’t your child’s life worth it?  At some point you have to live your life and balance many competing factors.[/quote]

You should be buying healthy foods regardless and they don't cost a fortune.  There are plenty of affordable seats that allow extended RF- we had several and did it till age four.  If you supervise your kids you don't need a fence.  If you can afford multiple plane trips for $1000 a year, you can afford to buy your child a seat on a plane.  Why take the risk?  Plus its more comfortable for everyone.[/quote]
