I've bought a seat for my 9 m o to fly to the US from Heathrow on Virgin Atlantic next week.
The airline only allow forward facing car seats and I'm trying to determine whether I need to buy one for his seat as our current one is rear facing. I would have been happy to have him on lap for take off and landing but Virgin told me this isn't allowed if we purchased a seat, which is odd. I'd rather not bring one but seems we have to and maybe it will be useful for feeding him? The spare seat was really just space in flight as he's very active.
I'm unsure which forward facing seats are ok for a 9 m o, which ones can connect with an airplane seatbelt etc
I was looking at the Joie elevate and the maxi cosi nomad but not sure I can actually use those in flight?
Please help I'm losing my mind. Can't reach Virgin as they have 2-3 hour wait to speak with anyone.
