I would like her to sit in her child car seat, but
https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly...s/infants.html says: "Child safety seats or restraint systems also aren’t permitted in United Polaris® business class on 767, 777 and 787 aircraft, including those with rear-facing seats." However,
https://www.dansdeals.com/points-tra...l-aviv-newark/ says that flight attendants do sometimes allow car seats. Does anyone have recent experiences or advice?
United is violating FAA policy by banning car seats in the forward facing Polaris seats.
i have interviewed Jan Brown for my blog and have her full support in using her name and flight 232 story to convince flight attendants to allow car seats in Polaris. She thinks it's egregious that United and the FAA haven't worked out a solution and she considers the FAA to be a worthless agency. She said that post flight 232, it frustrates her to no end that flight attendants would tell someone to hold an infant instead of using a car seat, just because that's what the company policy is.
So I have no shame in going 4/4 in using carseats in Polaris.
