car seat in cabin or hold on plane???!!!

[babyjames]

Got a seat for 14month old on easyjet to Cyprus. Advice on whether to find suitable carseat for cabin or put one we have in hold for when we are there.
Any advice please?

I think you will find that it has to go in the hold. It will be too big presumably to go in an overhead locker. Check with your airline but I think you will have to hand it over with the cases.

cant seem to find a seat that will fit the easy jet specifications!!! Anyone any ideas?

why would you not put it in the hold?

so he could sit in it on the plane and be comfortable. Also not allowed to sit in own seat for take off etc if not in car seat.

How heavy or tall is your 14 mo?
Some 14 mo still fit in 0+ group car seat and some babies are already in the group 1 (you can't take those on board at all, I think?)

he is over 23lb. Not sure exactly but he does fit into both I think!

can you really put a baby in a car seat on a plane? i had no idea.

easyjet have said we must now got him a seat but cant find one that fits!

Why can't your child sit on your lap for take off and landing?

I'm really not sure. I have emailed them again and waiting for a response! As we have payed for the seat you'd think we could do that!

We flew easyjet when dd2 was under 2. Bought her a seat as was cheaper than paying extra luggage! No problem with her sitting on my knee whenever seatbelt sign on. Just had to discourage people from thinking her seat was free at boarding!
