Hailey Terry | Utah Hiking, Camping, and Travel Mom on Instagram: "How I Get a Free Seat on the Airplane for My Lap Baby: [Save this for your next flight!] When my kids are under the age of 2, I almost always just bring them on as a lap baby since it’s free. But when I do that I always bring their car seat up to the gate to see if there’s room to bring it on. Make sure you car seat is FAA approved to bring it on the plane, it will say right on the car seat if it is. I’d say I’ve been able to about 60% of the time. Some flights have been too full, others the gate agent has told me I need to pay for the seat to bring it on. But many flights the flight attendants have been happy to accommodate me bringing it on. It honestly depends on the airline and the gate agent. I always bring my padded car seat carrier with me to the gate so I can put it in it if I’m not able to bring the seat on the plane. And I just tag it if it’s empty for free if I can! It never hurts to ask! Let me know if you’ve been able to bring your car seat on the plane before! #flyingwithkids #momlife #momsofinstagram #momhacks #travelfamily #adventurefamily"
