[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Google can show you plenty of children who lived or died on planes solely due to the presence or absence of a car seat. [/quote] I'm not sure that's true, actually. There are instances where lap children have died in plane crashes -- but so has everyone else on the plane, and it's not clear to me that there is good evidence comparing survival rates for lap vs. seated children. I have flown a lot with my kid. He was always a lap infant under 2; after that we used CARES, but that was primarily to contain him in his seat, not so much because I felt that it was an important safety measure. I personally evaluated the risk as minimal and the hassle as major, YMMV.[/quote] agree that google will not help you here. A bit ago I got curious and clicked my way through every incident involving infants in an FAA database I found. there were very, very few and the DB went back to the 70s or 80s.[/quote]
