[quote=Anonymous]Wow, regardless of whether or not children should be in car seats on airplanes. this post is full of unsupported assertions regarding the motivations of the FAA and airlines. [quote]Airlines have lobbied the FAA to allow children under the age of two to ride as lap children. Why would they do this? The answer is money. When a family adds a child to it, flying becomes more expensive when another seat is needed. So airlines "allow" you to have your child as a lap child for the first two years of the child's life so that you get used to flying with your child rather using another mode of transportation (driving). Their thinking is if you get to do it free for two years, you won't mind the expense when your child is older than two. The airlines know it isn't safe, but they want to keep you as customers. They want you to experience the ease of flying (although flying with a lap child isn't really easy) so that you'll want to continue to do it.[/quote].[/quote]
