What are you meant to do if....

If a cat doesn't like you, then what's wrong with you?
....you're on a plane with a baby on your lap and it starts going to sh*t and you have to get in the brace position, what are you meant to do with the baby? I've heard depending on impact sometimes your knees can hit your chest (although it's still supposed to be the safest position) so I'm assuming it's not safe to have the baby in your lap in the brace position.mind you if the plane is going to crash, there's probably not much that can be done anyway. Anyone know? Or anyone wondering anything random?

With the leg room as it is on most planes, I'm not sure it's physically possible for your knees to get anywhere near your chest.

From the PP reading, held onto bubs and try not to notice the smell and pray that it dors not leak out. I remember one flight... Starting our descent, seatbelts lights on... Bubs gets the concentration face. 40 mins of hell is what happened.... As we had to wait on the tarmack for a gate to open too. Everyone around us could not get off the flight quick enough. As for the other..... It has never crossed my mind.

I remember reading that you are meant to place them on the ground I remember thinking that there is I way I would be placing an infant in.the ground in the event of a crash. Although one would think before it got do the crash position you would be belted in and therefore the baby would be belted to you anyway.
