Where can lap children sit?

The main idea here is safety and how lap children are accommodated on a flight. A lap child is someone under two who travels on an adult’s lap, so the seating must allow the adult to keep the child secure and still follow crew instructions, especially in an emergency. Exit seats are restricted because those passengers must be able to assist with the evacuation and have unobstructed access to the door. That’s why lap children aren’t placed in exit seats. The approved arrangement in this context is to place the lap child on the B/C side of the aircraft—the non‑exit seating area where the adult can maintain proper control and keep the child secure with the regular seat belt. Options that suggest an exit seat, or a configuration that isn’t a standard non‑exit area, wouldn’t meet these safety requirements, and sharing a row with another lap child isn’t feasible or permitted.
