So which is it? Can he sit in his own seat (apart from takeoff and landing) during the flight without additional hardware? I'm willing to buy a CARES as insurance, but I'd rather do without.
Thank you for any information you have!
Hello malmostoso,
I am sorry but I can't notice the conflicting information. Baby seat can be used on board to increase the passive safety of infants and children (up to about 7 years of age). Their use is entirely voluntary. If you decide not to buy an extra seat for the baby. He/she must sit on your lap during the flight.
If you want to use your own child restaint system, for babies (under 2 years), therefore, you must purchase a CHILD ticket (extra seat).
I hope, my explanation helps you.
best regards,
Sascha
