Babies and safe flying


Hi all

I have a question regarding flying with babies.

I understand that they are normally nursed on one's seat but it struck me that this might not be terribly safe. If there was severe turbulence there might be a real chance of the child being flung around inside the aircraft.

Is there some sort of seat add-on (a sort of mini bassinet) that is availabel on any airline and clips onto the seat infront yet holds the child very securely? Basically such a device would sit where the dinner tray normally folds out thus holding the child securely but not using up extra space,

I'm concerned as it is probable that I shall fly with a young baby early next year for the first time and what could be more important than my child's health and safety?

cheers Peter
