The nightmare would be her not liking it after like 5min on the airplane, then we have no way to store it after we remove it... Sorry if this is the wrong place to post.
You are not. You may need to hold her on lap during taxi, take off and landing. I have done the extra seat with my children and just did lap child during the phases of flight mentioned before.
