Why would you bring your child outside in a lightening storm.

One child getting hurt by turbulence is pretty good odds by my book...

my point is there is still a much larger probability of getting injured in a car in a car seat then in a plane not in a car seat.

There's a better chance of kids getting hurt doing 5 million other activities than there is of them getting hurt by being unbelted on a plane. Which is why the FAA allows for lap infants - better to have them in the air than on the ground with the ability to do any of said dangerous activities.

Tongue planted firmly in cheek - as was whomever wrote that reasoning for the FAA.

Because devil's advocate is more fun in this board on a real life topic than for some BS in JS.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

This thread is kind of like a mileage run.  You get ddf posting credit for what is essentially a JS thread, but it won't be moved because Dan put it in here.

On this thread, I'm even buying an extra mileage run seat for my lap infant.
