1 Year Old on a Plane

Question for the Parents out there that have taken flights with a 1 year old
Did you get the 1 year old a seat or just keep the baby on your lap ?
We will be flying to Florida in August it's a little over 2 hrs not sure if we should get her a seat or not
Airfare is getting really high so that might sway my decision

If your gal is still nursing at that point (if she nurses at all), make sure she does that during takeoff and landing for her ears. If she's not nursing, give her a bottle or a pacifier for take off and landing, and try to make sure she sucks on whatever you give her for her ears. If she gets a cold around flight time, have the ped check her ears to make sure she'll be OK for flying.
My wife was very leery because it's safer to buy them their own seat, but everything went well. My thing is, I'm pretty sure even if you buy a seat, the baby is going to wind up in someone's lap for most of the flight just for comfort.

we bought my 8 month old a seat... and have bought him another for the trip when he's 20months in May
on the lap seems risky... and luckily we could afford it
Nurse what your Bud can
Also, keep a good grip on her the whole time. If you hit really bad turbulence she could end up on the ceiling. That's why a lot of people advocate getting a seat and strapping them in.
That said, I used to fly all the time for work... maybe 300-400 flights in my life... and I've NEVER been on a plane when unexpected turbulence would have caused any problems.
Oh and if anyone gives you grief for having a baby on board, it is ethically acceptable to punch them in the face.
only if your kid is well behaved. bring a crying brat on the plane and do nothing to silet her, we have the right to kick the mom in the box.
I would get the lap.
This is what my wife and I do with our son...she breast feeds him right before take off and he falls asleep and then sometimes right before landing - or we give him his sippy cup. My son is 13-months old and has been on six flights without a problem.
"I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine..."
I was looking at airfare last night..with all of us getting a ticket it will be a $1,000 to fly to Florida
:shock:
So much for saving money with our timeshare

The pain is excruciating.
I didn't even know I had a "head cold" until I wanted to rip my own head off, while we were landing.
It's only a shortish plane trip, Bubby will be most comfortable sharing your laps. Cuddles always works.
But get Bubby to chew/suck a lolly on decent into landing, the chewing motion makes them swallow and keeps their ears/head popped.
and a sense of humour, pack lots of that.
Happy travels.

yeah i dropped $1500 last may... then prices dropped so i called JetBlue and got a $500 voucher which we're using this may
does anyone think a time share is a good deal?? i've heard more bad stories than good
WINNING!
Your child can sit on your lap until 2 years then you have to buy a separate seat for her...between the two parents, you should be able to keep her occupied AND save money on not buying a 3rd seat. If you were going on a long flight, it may be worth it, but I usually recommend to my clients to have the child sit on the parent's lap.
Whatever you are, be a good one --Lincoln
