On the plane, you can either have him as a lap infant, or you can buy a separate seat. A car seat will not be required.
While driving, I don't know what the rules are.

I meant on plane. It seems as if jal says a seat can be rented if an adult brings two infants but they were not specific on 1 infant.

JL offers free child seat rentals, so why not avail yourself of that service? All you have to do is call them in advance to reserve the child seat, and they will install it for you on the plane. When you board, the child seat will already be there waiting for you.
