How are children under 2 typically seated?

Infants under two are typically seated as lap infants, meaning they sit on an accompanying adult’s lap rather than occupying a separate seat. This arrangement is the usual practice because it keeps the cabin setup simple and aligns with safety procedures during takeoff, landing, and turbulence—the adult holds the child and ensures the child’s safety with a proper restraint as required. If you want the child to have their own seat, you can purchase one and use an approved child restraint system or car seat in that seat. Some airline policies or medical considerations might require a separate seat, but the standard approach for under-2 travelers is lap seating. The other options imply the child must have a seat or that travel isn’t allowed, which isn’t accurate.
