This petition charges the FAA to end the practice of lap children on all commercial aviation flights by mandating children under the age of two years old to be safely and properly restrained in an FAA approved child-safety restraint seat/system as they are required in a car.
Laptops and luggage are required to be secured/safely stowed for take-off and landing therefore more so should a vulnerable infant or toddler be safely secured in a plane traveling 500 miles an hour.
Turbulence occurs frequently and without warning, turning a lap held child into a potential missile putting other passengers at risk and flight attendants unable to do their job of safety for all passengers.
