On US airline flights, there is no requirement for ordinary infant and infant security. However, that is about to change: the flight attendants' union plans to provide a personal seat for each passenger in the future. This should also ensure the safety of small children and babies in the event of emergency landings.

Infants and babies in the United States can fly free of charge, they only sit on their parents' laps. There is no special provision for the security of infants and babies on US flights. Infants under 2 years of age do not need to be restrained when sitting on their parents' laps during the flight. However, the flight attendants' union plans to make it compulsory for each passenger to reserve their own seat. The lack of safety regulations regarding child safety on flights can cause great harm to children. Accordingly, in the future children and babies should also have their own place and prove safety with a suitable child restraint system.
