Flying US Airways with a 11 month old baby.....?

Question

I have been looking and cannot find any info on this. What I am wondering is can I use an Eddie Bauer convertable car seat on the plane? Also can I have one of the little umbrella strollers as a carry on? Any info would help. Thanks!

Answer 1

This is a good question because I was thinking about this the other day. I'm taking my niece on a plane next summer and she will be the same age. I'm going to bring her car seat and strap in on the plane seat like you would do in a car. You should be able to take the stroller as a carry on since its small. I would suggest calling the airline ahead of time and see what their requirements are ... You have the option of baby on lap. But that didn't sound tooo safe....

Answer 2

You cannot take the umbrella stroller on Plane and for the convertible car seat you will have to get a seat on the place for it.

Infants and Children
Infants

US Airways defines an infant as a child less than 2 years (24 months) of age. US Airways recommends traveling with a birth certificate for a lap child between the ages of 1 and 2. There are two options available for traveling infants:

Lap Children: On domestic flights, one lap child will be accepted without charge when traveling with a paying ticketed passenger age 15 or older. On International flights, lap children may have to pay 10 percent of the adult fare and any surcharges, may require a paper ticket and are subject to international taxes. Unaccompanied minors may only travel with a lap child if it is their own child.

Reserved Seating: If you want your infant to travel in his or her own seat, a ticket must be purchased. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved Child Restraint System (CRS), provided by the responsible passenger, must be used.
Car Seats

Acceptable car seats:

* Manufactured between January 1, 1981 and February 1985 must bear the label: "This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards."
* Manufactured after February 26, 1985 must bear two labels, stating: "This child restraint system conforms to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards"; and "This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft", in red letters.
* Manufactured outside of the U.S. must bear a label of approval of a foreign government or a label showing the seat was manufactured under the standards of the United Nations.

Unacceptable restraint systems:

* Unlabeled child safety seats or safety seats manufactured before January 1981
* Vest and harness type child restrains or belly belts
* Booster-type child restraint systems cannot be used during taxi, takeoff or landing

Requirements for use:

* Passengers must present a ticket to the customer service representative during the boarding process for themselves and the child using the restrain system.
* The child restraint system may not occupy an exit row, the row forward or behind an exit row over the wing, aisle seats or middle seats. If two children are in restraint seats, they may be placed in the middle and window seat, as long as the person traveling with the children is seated in the aisle.
* During taxi, takeoff, landing, and whenever the “Fasten Seatbelt” sign is illuminated, the child must occupy their child seat and have all harnesses properly fastened
* A safety seat is not allowed as carry-on baggage. If a seat is not purchased and there is an available seat beside the parent/guardian, the safety seat may be used. Otherwise, the safety seat must be checked.
* A safety seat may face backwards if the infant weighs less than 20 lbs. For infants weighing between 20 and 40 pounds, the safety seat must face forward.
* Children over the age of two may occupy an approved forward-facing safety seat provided the child weighs no more than 40 lbs.
