Fascinating that you're picking at UA with safety and cutting corners when you didn't buy your child a ticket and a car seat.

Exactly! I wish the FAA would just require seats for every passenger,regardless of age. Is your child worth less to you simply because they are under the age of 2?

I realize the odds are favorable for uneventful travel, but why assume any needless risk to your child because you chose not to buy a ticket and use a carseat?
