Crash landing of a Delta Air Lines flight in Toronto highlighted the potential dangers of flying with a young child on an adult's lap.
Experts agree it's safer for children younger than 2 years old to have their own plane seats and ride in approved car seats when flying.
But babies are still allowed to travel in laps, so parents continue doing it despite the risks.
The FAA relies on a study done in the 1990s to justify not requiring families to buy tickets for children younger than 2 .
The rationale is that if families had to buy extra tickets, more of them might drive instead of fly.
The NTSB thinks that logic is a stretch and the study should be revisited.
Parents say they might fly less if they have to buy a ticket and lug along a car seat.
