[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [quote]If losing one's grip on the baby is really the concern, they should change the rules to allow parents to wear their babies in a sling, Ergo, mei tai, etc during take off and landing. This should help keep the baby from becoming airborne, and the crushing risk you'd have in a car should not be there. [/quote] Can you not do this? [/quote] Nope. Many flight attendants wont care, but some will ask you to remove the infant from the carrier. Even lap babies [/quote] Airline person here. Using those devices places baby in the "crush zone." I'm airline exec from above. If you go to the NTSB link I sent you, you'll see a video simulating what would happen if severe turbulence took place with baby in a bjorn / moby / ergo /etc. While it does prevent baby from flying through cabin, it's just as dangerous, if not more dangerous, to have them stuck in the adult's "crush zone."
