traveling with a 2 year old?

Leanie

I haven't flown with ds since he was a baby. ?Do I need to put him in a carseat when we fly? ?Or can he just sit like a big boy??

I'm not sure what different airlines require, but we've always put the carseat in the seat. It's safer, more comfortable and more familiar.?

most airlines will let them sit like big boys/girl but using the car seat is a lot safer.

we just flew with our 2 year old and brought our carseat.  as pp said, it is safer and they are familiar with their seat and straps.  our son did great the whole flight.

Well at 2 they need a seat, and it isn't really safe to have just a lapbelt. We got the harness at www.kidsflysafe.com when we flew with DS at 2 and 2.5.

However in general my answer to flying with toddlers is one word. Don't.?

Flying with our 2 year old was easy. He's so calm anyways so flying didn't bother him one bit. He sat in a borrowed car seat because I thought ours might be too big. Def. need a car seat though. Our 10 month old was the problem...
