USA: Flight attendants request separate seats for infants
There is no requirement for normal child restraints for small children and babies on flights operated by US airlines. However, this is now set to change: the flight attendants' union is planning to provide each passenger with their own seat in the future. This should also ensure the safety of small children and babies in the event of emergency landings. Small children and babies in the United States can fly free of charge, provided they simply sit on their parents' laps. There is no special regulation on the safety of small children and babies on US flights. Small children under the age of 2 do not need to be secured if they sit on their parents' laps during the flight. However, the flight attendants' union is planning to make it mandatory for each passenger to reserve their own seat in the future. The lack of safety regulations regarding child restraints on flights can cause great harm to children. Accordingly, children and babies will also have to have their own seat in the future and be safe using a suitable child restraint system.
