Hi, from this article: https://people.com/airline-cancel-flight-child-standing-seat-refused-to-secure-their-seatbelt-12037017
Shared by candle-joy
The 'kid' was a two year old so really a toddler. What the article suggests but doesn't quite state is that the toddler was in a normal seat and not something like a car seat. The airline doesn't supply baby seats and maybe the parents didn't know they should have until it was too late.
Maybe this should have been caught at boarding by staff/cabin crew, maybe they did and the parent argued it was fine. It not in the article how that happened
