Is a 17 month old considered an infant or a toddler?

Toddler, over the age of 1 yr they are considered a toddler

I would say toddler but call her whatever is the cheapest!

Ask the airline…if she walks…a toddler…an infant is a babe in arms…

Toddler. If they are over age 1, they are a toddler.

If the she walks, she’s a toddler. If you carry her in your arms, she’s an infant.

after 13 months, babies are considered toddlers.

Once a child starts walking he/she is considered a toddler.

Call the airline and find their specific definition – which might be different than anywhere else.

Generally toddler is when they are “toddling” around. I would think 17 months is closer to toddler – but the airline’s definition is the one you need here. Good luck traveling with your child.

A 17 month old is considered an older infant because they are not old enough to be a toddler and too advance to be a young infant.

definitely a toddler, getting ready to hit the “terrible twos” ! Good Luck.

toddler after 1 yr there a baby before 11 months

Your child can be a lap child up until 2. I just took a flight with my 16 month old and did not pay. If your flying with another person, try to pick your seat and have a middle seat open. No one will try to book that seat in the middle.

Happy flying

18 months are toddlers 17 u can say are still infants

does she walk? but still fall sometimes? she’s a toddler

My husband is a pilot, and I’ve been flying internationally and domestically with my children since they were 2 months (now 8&5). At least three trips a year are the children and I traveling internationally (14+ hours each way) alone. In addition to that, we do another 8-10 international and domestic flights a year as a family. I can tell you with confidence that any child under the age of two is considered an INFANT when it comes to booking a ticket for air travel.

Children under the age of two are also allowed to travel as “lap children”, meaning that he/she will have to sit in your lap the entire time. The Flight Attendants should place you in a front seat where you will have more room. Depending on space and availability, the Flight Attendants might give you a bassinet that attaches to the front wall to put your child in (however you can not uses this during taxi, take-offs, landings, or turbulence).

This is not the safest way for a child to fly and the airlines recommend children to have their own seat with a child safety device.

I do advise using a CRS (Child Restraint System) because it is safe for the child – especially during turbulence, makes them feel secure, is more comfortable for both parent and child, will help your child sleep, and gives both of you the opportunity to relax a bit.

A CRS is a hard-backed child or infant safety seat that is approved by the government for use in both motor vehicles and aircraft.

In order to be certified for use on an airplane, the car seat has to met the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Check the labels on the side of your car restraint for a sticker (words will be printed in red) for verification that your seat is safe for airplane use.

Many airlines offer half-price tickets so parents can be guaranteed that their child can travel in a CRS device. You should call your airline to ask for a discount and/or ask what the airline’s policy is for using empty seats.

I wrote a small article about flying with children that goes more in-depth, gives airport security rules and regulations for the US, EU, and UK, plus offers tips and tricks for the travel, etc. http://www.angelfire.com/jamiehassen79/flying_children.html
