Flying with infant

[Ekay]

Dangerous to use an airbag seatbelt on a carseat without the extender. Definitely against their policy.

Can be done with extender as well.

This is what you need to do with an airbag seatbelt, but I hard a hard time properly securing with an extender.

I've seen lots of posts urging to get an extra seat for an infant.

What's better: no seat for a 4 month old, flying direct to Israel, or flying with a stopover and buying an extra ticket

Imo flying direct without an extra seat is 2 cons, not one.

If you would rather fly direct, and the airline will give you a bassinet seat, do that.

with out bassinet id rather fly with a stop and extra seat,

Its that age where they sleep more than they annoy but its still really annoying to hold a baby for 10h

Dan urges a seat for safety.

Otherwise if you’re able to get bassinet I’d def recommend flying direct.

 I fly with children a lot myself & have many friends in the same situation - some who fly direct & some stopover, I’ve never heard anybody enjoy a stopover with young children more than direct besides for the savings.

When dealing with two year olds and older ( not infants) I've heard people say they like stopovers since its gives the kids a chance to run around for a few minutes and when they get on the second plane it takes them time till they get bored again.

my twins love playing in lounges and turning over a very peaceful lounge at 7am when everyone is trying to relax

OP was about a child under 2… Regardless I’ve heard that as well from ppl who wanted to save money - but if somebody were covering the difference they’d sing a different tune.  I’ve yet to meet somebody who flew a stopover for the sole purpose of letting their kids let out their energy.

You can’t predict what will happen with kids, I’ve had flights where they slept most of the flight & others where they slept one out of twelve. As he says -

I guess we have more to discuss 

Just curious how often do u guys fly a long (10+ Hour) flight with kids? Maybe you’ll change me & save me some money at the same time
