“Passengers cannot leave babies in an infant carrier and attempt to put it...”
– Found this while perusing the TSA’s website for tips on traveling with children. (We are flying soon with our 8 1/2 and 3 year old. The 3 year old has never flown).
Begs the question, did someone actually try to do this?
