You might want to call CX and ask what the procedure is, since the seat belts in J have airbags. I would imagine that it would be dangerous to have a baby in a lap belt if something happened and the airbag did go off.

The baby seatbelt do not have airbag so it don't squeeze your kids. The adult ones have but the baby seatbelt goes outside of it, so your baby will be comfortable.
Now, we have a very quiet baby so noise wasn't a problem for us and after the journey the pax in our mini-cabin and FAs all took turns to play around with her and love her very much. If you have a crying baby....

They'll provide you with a CRD (child restraint device) which must be used with your seat belt for securing your child. The CRD will actually disable your seatbelt airbag so that in the event of an incident, the child won't be affected by it.

Hi, I will be travel with a 4 years old (average in size), will they also provide a CRD or do you think he will be fine with just the seat belt across?

If they're between 10-20kgs and less than a metre tall, you can ask to use a "CARES harness" as long as they're sitting in a seat without an airbag. So that's the reclining 'long haul style' (light blue coloured) EY and PEY seats only (not the fixed shells).

Your 4yo will need their own seat.

As I said, the cares harness only works with seats without an airbag seatbelt. He'll just have to make do with the standard seatbelt and J class seat it seems!
