[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We decided to buy two tickets there and 3 back and we are going to fly early Monday morning home because less insanely expensive.  I had long car rides with my toddler... just can't do it!

I really believe we would actually get away with him being a lap child; but I'm not going to risk a Sunday evening disaster at the aiport to save a few hundred dollars.  I have only been asked his birthday once ever... and they just wanted his month/year not specific date.  I think it was US Air or American.  My toddler talks a fair amount but I don't think he knows how old he is and like most toddlers, mainly his family members understand him.

Oh, and I don't get the drama about lap baby safety.  Do you install a car seat on your metro rides?  What about airport shuttle, do you avoid that too?  [/quote]

I have been on planes that encountered rough turbulance unexpectedly, causing drinks to fly and flight attendents to fall down.  If I had had a kid in my lap, I wouldn't have been able to hold on to him or her in time.

I don't install a car seat on metro and airport shuttle because I can't.  I do have the ability to buy a ticket for my child and put him/her in a carseat, and that's what I always did.[/quote]
