Be careful what you wish for. If an airline would be providing that seat, it would have to meet a Technical Standard Order. If they’re going to go to the trouble and considerable expense of having TSO’d baby seats available, I don’t think there would be a modest fee involved.
Heck, for good measure they would probably make it an OpSpec that *only* those seats could be used.
EDIT: Does it show that I don’t have kids? I knew of a label on baby seats that said they were approved for use on aircraft, but as it turns out
there is a TSO.
