should children under two be allowed to fly (55)
I've never heard of that the thin skull is a problem but as you've mentioned already, the "popping ears" are the reason they scream. This can be prevented or helped with by feeding during take off and landing or at least give them a dummy to suck on. Only in case the baby has an ear infection it could lead to permanent damage.
The real risk are the germs circulating over the air system hence the baby has to be healthy with a good immune system.
I've been frequently flying with my child from 6 months old on and it certainly didn't damage him.
These days, I admit it, my annoyance and my compassion for traveling parents with babies and infants is balanced. By the way, babies are still much easier to handle on a plane than infants cos they don't yet have the urge to move around.

A better question is should very young children be allowed in a restaurant. Young kids have the uncanny ability to know they can be little monsters in public places without suffering the consequences.

Should children under two be allowed to fly?
It's usually safer if they are in an aeroplane, as although throwing a baby can be fun, the landing is problematical, and so catching is the preferred method but prone to mishaps.
Of course if the child is Peter Pan the problem is solved

Listen, if the said baby has all its current pilots licences and has passed its medicals, then sure, it can fly whatever aircraft its rated to fly..

A small measure of vodka 20mins before takeoff would do the trick.

You hang around the airport offering children shot glasses of vodka, don't you?
Have you seen a child after vodka? It's the same as giving them lots and lots of sugar.
Brandy is the better bet. Sleep happily after that.

Good thinking to bring this topic to fruition OP. If the above is true, I learned something.

edison324: i have often wondered why young babies scream when a plane takes off and comes into land,the it occurred to me that young babies skulls are very thin and still developing hence the cabin pressure must cause them distress as some times it hurts my ears so what must it be like for a baby who can not tell what is wrong them,,so should they fly at an early age !!!
i dont think childreen under 2 have developed their wings enough to fly.they ll have to wait untill they grow their wings properly. ------ This poll is Archived ------

There used to be a Russian Disco in the very middle of Dublin on O'Connell Street. Don't know if it's still there. If you wanted to get stabbed by a Lithuanian it was the place to go.

irrespective of the ages of children, they should be required by their parents to mind and be reasonably quiet. Everyone else on that plane had also purchased am expensive ticket.
The airlines can provide guidelines when reservations are made and parents need to board prepared to entertain their youngsters. Feeding a baby during take off and landing is a big help to prevent crying.

Children are persons, they feel and when they can not talk they are not able to express their emotions and they could feel frightened in some circumstances like being in a flying plane.
While flying, one of my children used to have problems with his ears, son learned from the flight attendance how to manage his ears’ problem with 2 empty plastic cups, one on each of his ears and of course they both got the "plastic wings" from the captain and the oldest (4 yo) asked when he could fly a real plane
My children got used to fly but even so if some parents have their children crying during a flight I would understand the child and be tolerant to the situation and if I can be of any help I would offer it to the parents.
Had not had any children of my own I think I would be tolerant as well.

hiya lifeisadream
i agree...children are people too...
and i try to be tolerant..specially with the wee ones that are having problems with their ears. i took my son on many flights starting when he was only 10 months old. he's flown a lot.
having said that...i just got off a plane...and after 5 1/2 hours of a six year old kicking the back of my seat non-stop, playing combat computer games without earbuds, and generally being a tantrum throwing jerk...i'm not feeling so tolerant...infact i wish there was some sort of recourse when seated near kids that shouldn't be out in public, let alone on planes in confined quarters.
and yes...i do realize it's the result of poor parenting...
but it sure makes a flight misery for those folks sitting near them.

You can't can't lay all the blame on the parent. If you had a problem with it, why didn't you speak up? You could have spoken to the parent or flight attendant.

Good question. I never should on myself. I did fly with my 16 month old, I gave him something to suck on as we took, off and touched down. My dad had a plane, and was an air traffic controller. Looking back he was my first son. Three to follow, That one, my first had a lot of ear infections that were very painful til he was like three. Maybe that was a contributing factor. I would think it depends on the plane as well. I had flown commercial. I believe we would actually ask a more informed individual. I like the question. PEACE HH

Hi Jono
Yes, I know what you mean when children are not behaving not only in a planes but any place and that is their parents’ fault but I could have asked the flight attendance to assign me other seat even if that is business class –with not extra charge of course- or give me a free-flight to minimize the inconvenience
.
Once I got that change because beside me was an European guy very tall and very “chubby” and his seat was not enough for him so much part of him was over my arm and his legs were touching mine
and he was snoring...so not only children can be a nuisance.

Another nuisance Jono
There was a lady from lets say European also and she was talking and talking the whole 2:25 hours flight to a guy. The guy said maybe 5 words at the most to her like: yea.
I wanted to hit that lady with a pillow at least but I didn't.

Exactly. If me, I'd save myself the bother of asking a flight attendant and have a look for myself. But before grabbing my overhead luggage and making a beeline for it, I'd better check with whoever is sitting next to the empty seat in case there is an occupant who's just in the loo
