Of the 3 infants on board the aircraft, 2 were being held on the lap of a family member, and 1 was being held in a soft-structured baby carrier attached to her mother. Both unrestrained infants were ejected from the arms of the adults carrying them. One infant hit the seat in front of her before falling into the aisle, and received significant bruising. The other infant collided with the neighbouring passenger, but was not injured. The infant wo was held in the baby carrier was not injured; however, the infant's mother received injuries to her back and ribcage due to twisting forces resulting from the momentum of the infant strapped into the carrier.
It's about time that this utter madness stops. This is a relict from the 60ies of the previous century when cars had no seatbelts and one would put children asleep in the trunk of an estate. This all happened while taxiing @ 10knots!!! Infants must pay for a seat and the airline shall provide appropriate safety seats or at least allow automotive saftey seats to be used. Everything is better than this BS be it FAA certified or not.
