Infant restraint

Can anyone help? I want to buy an approved restraint for a child under 2 to allow her to sit on her mother's lap while flying.

Extensive Googling has only turned up a really good looking body harness that's not approved!

I know it's best to use an approved car seat - which we do when there's only 3 of us in the plane. When my 2 boys come along we need all 4 seats, and as I understand it (and as stated in the POH) a child under 2 can sit on an adult with an approved safety belt. In this instance you can have 5 POB in a 4 seater.

Any other tips for flying with infants would be appreciated - she had her first flight today (aged 3 months), and slept right through it - we stayed low and avoided any ear problems.

Thanks

TB
