i'm a parent, but this just seems like hyperbole.
AA even has planes with angled first or biz class seats that prohibit car seats from being used. They wouldn't say your baby is "in jeopardy" in those either. They'd just say it's not allowed.
seems like a big fuss over nothing. as soon as wheels up, baby goes in car seat. problem solved. FA's aren't gonna know or care or even be checking during climb, they'll be seated and candy crushing it.
I don't really understand why there is 100% agreement that a baby in a lap in a car at 60mph is very dangerous, but a baby in a lap on a plane barreling down the runway at 160mph is "a big fuss over nothing."
If lap children are illegal in a car, with good reason, they should be illegal on a plane.
