Your child can be transported in a safety seat on an airplane if the safety seat is labeled that it's been tested for use in an airplane. There are some locations in airplanes that are not appropriate for use with a safety seat, so be sure to tell the person from whom you're getting the ticket that you're taking a child aboard with a safety seat. Be sure that you talk with someone when you check in and ensure that at every stage everyone knows that you're taking a safety seat aboard for your child, to be sure that you are placed in the right row in the plane and in the right seating positions.
