If you purchase a seat for a child under the age of 2, then they must be in a carseat. If not, then they may be a lap child. Up to 40lbs, it is recommended that they be in seats.
DD has always had her own seat and we have always brought her carseat.
i wonder (and not questioning your answer at all) if the rules differ by airline/country. We are flying with Continental SEA - MHH (in the bahamas) and when i researched the web site i found this line
"Infant Seating
Children unable to sit upright with the seat belt fastened must be carried in an FAA approved infant seat if not being held by an adult. "
Our back up seat (for my DS on day care days), and our second choice if we can not use the CARES for her, is an Evenflo Traditions Plus Harness Booster Car Seat that we bought from Sears (canada) in the late spring 2007. this would be a perfect to bring, and has the canadian CMVSS 213. sticker on the side (and i would be sure to bring the bring out, that is a great link) . I have read in the past that some cranky FA will NOT allow combinations seats , even though she would be in the 5 point harness.
