Do Jet2 hand out belt extensions for babies on lap?

[AugustBabyBags]

Travelling soon with my 6 mth old. When I first flew with my eldest at 18 months (Ryanair), I assumed we’d get an infant loop belt for take-off and landing. Instead I was told, quite abruptly, to ‘just hold her’, which felt really unsafe given the standard seatbelt wasn’t long enough for both of us.

Now I’m back to flying with a baby again and feeling uneasy. Do Jet2 provide the proper infant loop belts, or is it the same as Ryanair?

I’ve always found Jet2 miles better than Ryanair in general, but I’m not sure what their policy is here.

I’ve been told it’s unsafe to have the baby within your belt as if you were thrown around for whatever reason ( turbulence) then you can crush your baby as trapped between you and seat belt.

Yes. Been on their flights twice with little ones and cabin crew bring them before the pre-flight checks :)

Everytime ive flown with ryanair with a baby they've given me an infant seatbelt.

It's not safe to hold them or have them within your own belt.

That’s so weird, I’ve always had a belt extension with Ryanair when travelling with a baby.

Interesting, from the responses it seems like a one off even for Ryanair, however, the poll, right now 33% saying they hoist held the baby

It’s a weird one. I definitely wouldn’t put them in my seatbelt for fear of crushing them as PP says. I’ve always been given an infant belt (I’ve flown a lot with babies)…. Except for one time on American when they looked at me like I’d asked if I could open a window and told me in a shocked voice that they were incredibly dangerous.

I have actually had to do an emergency landing with a toddler in an infant belt. I was holding her as tight as you can imagine, but I was very glad of the belt too.

I think this thread has been duplicated up (MN was acting up and I may have pressed post twice creating 2 posts). Will flag to MN team.

As the OP just said, this thread posted twice, in error, so we're going to close this shorter one and direct everyone over to the OP's other thread, here
