Really? We flew for years when both our kids were infants and toddlers, through North America, Europe, Australia, and SE Asia. Every flight gave us an extra lap belt for any child that was too small to for a seat of their own (and almost always a “we’ll come and find you once most the passengers have boarded, we’ll need to give you a special seatbelt…” as we stepped on board and they checked out ticket). They’d always give us a special safety demonstration despite having used the belts dozens of times. If we had a bulkhead seat with a bassinet you’d have to take the child out of the bassinet and strap them into the belt on your lap if the seatbelt light came on.
I’m mostly stunned our experiences are so extremely opposite. As I’ve never not seen this!
- gnicholas 4y agoCompletely the opposite. Our kids were born in the last decade, and we only traveled in the continental US with them. Wish we'd gotten the same offers as your family.
- glenngillen 4y agoMine are under 10 too. In the US we probably only flew Alaskan and American Airlines. So maybe it was unique to them?
- shubb 4y agoWe flew last week non US Oman Air, and got a baby belt, but not on a domestic flight in the Philippines. Maybe it's not required for us domestic? Domestic flights have more flexible regulation generally.
