Babies, car seats and airplanes

While traveling on several planes the other day I noticed something. I noticed that there were several babies on the plane. The mothers and fathers were holding the babies to comfort them. There was some very heavy turbulence on the plane. I was wondering why the children weren’t in special protective child seats during the heavy turbulence. It seems to me that the children are in some danger in the sky as they are in an automobile. If the baby did fall I am sure the parent’s would be the first to sue the airline. If we have laws for autos why don’t we have the same laws for airplanes? What do you think? Someone please explain to me how this works, thanks.

I have been that mother holding the baby. It isn’t because they do not have a car seat. It is because the infant is considered a “lap passenger”. The common sense thing for parents in that situation is that they should use a baby carrier. (thing that looks like a backpack but with cut outs for baby’s head, arms, and legs )
