If a child has their own seat on a plane...

would I need to bring the carseat to put them in or can they just sit in the seat?

It's up to you. If you think they'll be okay in the airline seat, then sit them there, otherwise, bring the car seat.

I believe they have to be in a car seat

They don't need to be in a carseat.

I checked my carseat at the gate per the flight attendant. It's easier just having them sit in the seat. They do not need to be in a carseat.

I always brought the car seat on the plane. She's more likely to sit still & sleep well in her car seat.

Re: If a child has their own seat on a plane...

It depends on your child, the flight distance and her age. I did it a couple times and the rest of the time she is in the seat without a car seat. Mind you she is almost 4. when 2 she would be in a carseat for long flights.

I've never flown with the kids, but I think they'd be more comfortable in their own car seats. Knowing DS, I know he's be trying to get up the whole time if he were in a regular seat (he's 2.5)

When i flew to Florida with Jordana, we brought her car seat, but didn't use it. She was fine in the regular seat. And that was a year ago.

DS will be 2.5 and the flight will only be for 3-3.5 hours. He doesn't really care for his carseat as it is.

Thanks everyone!
