On my adoption group there are some car seat on plane fanatics. They've posted videos of what can happen on a plane. I'm not a fanatic so I haven't seen the videos for myself but apparently it scared the pants off these people enough that they use them. Personally, having a squirming 2 year old on my lap for 2.5 hours sounds hideous!
The only problem with that is, if she didn't purchase a seat for the child, the child is required to stay on the parent's lap unless there is an empty seat available.
