On airplanes, children cannot be seated in emergency exit rows, and in most planes the requirement is that the safety seat be placed next to the window so that it does not block movement of the other passengers. Sometimes if a family is occuping an entire row, then the parents are allowed to put the child safety seat in the center. But the idea is to put the child in a place where the safety seat is an advantage, not a disadvantage.
