    With all respect i'm not really intrested in what anyone does with their child on a flight, at home or wherever, if I choose to have my child on my lap for all hours then so be it, if another person chooses to book the whole of first class with butler service for their child then good for them, but that does not help me with my question (which has now been answered)

    With all respect I think you could have worded your replies to people on this forum who have offered advice a little less sarcastic. If you stated in your original question exactly what sort of advice you wanted maybe people could have been more targeted in their responses. You said any suggestions for an easy flight, which people have done and you have just given sarcasm by the bucket load.

    Really glad I took time out of my evening yesterday to reply to your post, wont be doing that again!

    If you have done 7 hr fights you should be well prepared what to expect. if you want extra room for you toddler You will have to pay for it..Simple as that. People were only giving advice and I think you have been very nasty in some of your replies.

    It's OK Karma usually comes into play in these situations
    I'm sure the OP will be well rewarded for their rudeness

    Interesting she never addressed the safety implications of lap versus seat though obviously not high on her list of priorities.

  • On the issue of using a car seat on a flight we used brought the britax eclipse for the flight and it fitted in the seat no problems (emirates). I personally think car seats are alot safer. My two year old was required to sit in his own seat for takeoff and landing, thier is no way the lap belt would have secured him in and I hate to think what would have happend if the plane had gone for a skid.

    Yeah OP needs to be more appreciative of the contributions people have made rather than act ungrateful.
    What exactly does she want people to say
