So is this policy or lack of training and just bad service?
please help.
Just be careful -- foreign carriers are not required to allow FAA-approved child safety restraint devices, i.e., harnesses and child seats. If you rebook to another carrier, call and confirm you'll be allowed to use the seat lest you encounter another problem.
