Mandatory child seats on airliners?

And frankly, flying with a lap baby is torturous after about 6 months, and I have a small kid. Can't tell you how relieved I was when he turned 2 and I no longer had to have the internal debate over buying him a seat or not.

You should have seen Valinda flying with the kids when they were little. She was pro, with toys and snacks and books to keep them busy. I'd be up front in the cockpit and she'd have 'em all to herself.

Valinda is a saint. Sam and I have our system down and he's a flying champ, but I have no idea where my sanity will be once there's more than one little rascal

Sam's a sweetie. And you guys will figure it out.
