On the return to BOM we'll have an approved carseat with us, so no issue, but not on the outbound to LHR.
Now I'm at the point of booking, it would be good to be sure on my assuption before I potentially waste cash on a useless child seat one way... I have assumed so far that the infant will be have to sit with me or Mrs EB whenever the seatbelt signs are on, but for the remaining portion of the flight she will be able to use the seat with no problems. Is this correct, or will the CC forbid her from sitting there even when the signs are off since we won't have the carseat?
TIA,
EB
Obviously one of the crew contributors would be best placed to answer this, but on most of the BA flights we've taken with Swiss Jr (when he was under 2) there were spare seats in the cabin. The crew actively helped sort it out so we had a spare seat near us meaning Jr could sleep very comfortably. As you say if the seatbelt sign is on then they have to be strapped to you but otherwise it seems you're fine.
