That being said, I would just do the backpack as a personal item and be sure you could stuff your purse into your carryon or the backpack. But check your airline. Some give a lap infant a diaper bag. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373858 Tue, 01 Dec 2015 01:10:18 +0000 anonysquire 2373858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This would be in addition to my carry on. But yes, I totally forgot you can bring a purse and carry on huh? I'll try and count that as a purse. Thanks for your help :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373727 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 21:31:08 +0000 rattles 2373727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine took a backpack once, and the flight attendant told me I needed to combine it with/into one of my bags. I had actually bought a ticket for LO, so she backed down but would've given me a hard time otherwise. Maybe it could count as your personal item if you only have one other bag? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373723 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 21:24:35 +0000 MenagerieMama 2373723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just flew with LO as a lap infant (United) and she brought her little backpack! No issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373639 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 20:22:46 +0000 Banana330 2373639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Each airline has different rules. I flew air Canada and my LO got her own carry on as a lap infant. In addition to my two carry ons and a diaper bag! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373619 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 20:05:00 +0000 erinbaderin 2373619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this in addition to a carry on? Every time I've flown with my son he's gotten his own carry-on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373552 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 18:47:58 +0000 PawPrints 2373552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would think it would be fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373480 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:26:05 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2373480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sat next to a mom with a lap infant. He had his own little backpack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373476 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:22:09 +0000 anonysquire 2373476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: smart! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373455 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 17:06:56 +0000 PinkElephant 2373455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>An even easier solution is to put it on a carabiner that can hook onto the strap of your carry on bag. I always use a little backpack for each of my girls (to hold a snack, drink, and the few toys/books they'll need during boarding and take off), and have never been questioned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373435 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:48:35 +0000 anonysquire 2373435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: that's what I was thinking. A tiny backpack. Just wanted her to have something is she goes and sits with my husband and vice versa. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373433 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:45:59 +0000 catomd00 2373433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically they're not entitled to a carry on, but I always bring her little PBK backpack and never had issues with it. Just make sure it's small enough to stash in your carry on if they say anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-about-lap-infant#post-2373424 Mon, 30 Nov 2015 16:40:21 +0000 anonysquire 2373424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can a lap infant wear a backpack onto the plane? </p>
