Infants under 2 years old do not get their own seat but if you want to use a car-type seat for your baby under 2 years old, you will need to book and pay for a seat next to you on a full child fare.

Your car seat will be checked and approved for use on board at the time of check-in at the airport.

The car-type safety seat must meet the following standards:

• Should have a solid back and seat and have an integral harness, which must be a minimum of 2.5 cm wide and must include lap, shoulder and crotch straps, to ensure that the child is properly secured. 
• Must be labelled stating that it has been approved for aviation use and have labelling describing the operating instructions attached to it.
• The car-type seat, or any part of it, should not show any obvious signs of having sustained damage. 
• Can be forward or rearward facing provided it can be secured to the aircraft seat in economy or business class cabin with only the fitted aircraft seat lap belt.  
• Forward-facing car-type safety seats can be used by infants/children from the age of 7 days to 3 years.
• Rearward-facing car-type seats can be used by infants from the age of 7 days to 6 months (or less than 10 kg).
