Taking a carseat on Easyjet Q please

This is S's first flight since she turned 2, and I believe we can take a carseat (we are taking a Priori) onto the flight to seat her in for the flight? Is this correct please? If so, I take it we need to lug the seat to the airplane along with all the other stuff?

Thank you!

We have never taken a car seat abroad.

Would S not be better off just in the seat? & you put the car seat into the hold if needed the other end?

That was our original idea, but then we have to pay baggage for it, don't we?

Confused...

If they are under 5, Easyjet will carry a pushchair and either a carseat or travel cot free of charge in the hold.  This is what they told me when I emailed them.  You could email and take the copy with you just to be safe?  Their website is not at all helpful!!

I seem to remember reading the blurb and interpreting it this way but when it got down to the nitty gritty, it transpired that any seat used to seat a child on a flight needed to be suitable to be held in place by a lap belt only.  This kind of makes sense as a lap belt is all there is on a plane but there are very few car seats on the market that can be fixed using only a lap belt. 

Thanks all, off to email for confirmation now. Not sure if the Priori is lap belt-able...

If i remember rightly they say you can but in reality they wont allow it on the plane as it is alway down to the crew and captain!!!

They will take it in the hold (wrap well as it is thrown and the ground staff love to have games with them!!!).

Again if i remember right you can take a bugger for each child under the age of 5 and a carseat for each child under the age of 11. (booster are classed as carseats). This is all being dragged from the back of my memory when i was a mother who needed to take this stuff and working at the airport and was a wee while ago now.

I'm pretty sure you can book it into the hold (we have done with teh maxi cosi but it was flyglobespan). then collect it at the other end.

Max has had 2 flights in his own seat since he turned 2 and the lapbelt was fine. He is diddy and it fitted him great.

then i just picked his car seat up on the belt along with the cases

meant to say, if you are paying for a seat for S then car seat is carried in hold free of charge. buggy and travel cot are also carried FOC

Thanks all!

I took a carseat on EJ a couple of times (in the hold) and wasn't charged, but I didn't have a buggy.

AFAIK, (and this was certainly the case with us), if the child is under 2 but you book a seat for them, you have to provide a car seat for them to sit in on the plane (we did this when we went to Mauritius with Holly at 22.5 months).  If you didn't book a seat, then they'd have to sit on your lap for the entire flight.

If the child is over 2, and you have booked a seat for them (which I think you don't have a choice at this age), they don't have to have a car seat to sit in as they are old enough to occupy their own seat.
