I think its worse to imply that a child is just as safe in a lap as they are in a car seat. Sure, on an uneventful flight that would be true. We could say the same for driving in a car - child on a lap in an uneventful car ride is just as safe as in a car seat.
Simple fact is that a child in a car seat on a plane is safer then if they are in a lap in the event of some sort of survivable incident. Planes go off runways, land in the hudson river, have bad enough turbulence to injure flight attendants, and even have a baby thrown from their mothers arms.
