[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not recommended to fly with children out of car seats.  In the case of turbulence, your child [b]could[/b] be launched with deadly speed into God only knows what, killing them or another passenger. If a coffee pot has to be stowed, why shouldn't a child be in properly restrained in their car seat?[/quote]

Theoretically yes, but I have NEVER been able to find any actual documented cases of lap children injured by turbulence (or of or other passengers injured by turbulence-launched lap children), much less killed.

You and your child will survive, and so will everyone around you.  Take an iPad or iPhone, some painters tape, lots of snacks and drinks, some dollar-store toys, and double the number of diapers you think you'll need.  Bulkhead seats are great because you can let them sit or stand on the floor in front of you and stretch a bit more. Buy a drink for the other folks in your row or in front of you if your child gives them grief, but don't sweat it.  [/quote]
