The safest way for anyone to fly is securely buckled into their own seat. The same is true for our smallest passengers! Small children are safest using their own car seat, buckled securely to the airplane seat. All car seats come with instructions for how they can be secured on an airplane.

WAIT? I thought I could just hold my baby in my arms?

Although airlines currently allow infants to fly on a caregiver's lap during flight, Transport Canada strongly recommends that all children are buckled in their own seat for all phases of the flight.
