Flying with a 21 month old - To buy a seat or not?

Carlie, Nana and I will be heading to see my sister in early October in NC. As of now I do not have a seat for her. I am starting to second guess my decision, as she is a very spirited toddler. Do you think I should get her a seat? Any BTDT advice.

I have flown with her about 5 times, but she was much younger.

Thanks.

If you could swing it financially I would get the extra seat. It's so much easier for me when DD has her own seat.

I bought a seat for our vacation in December. My DD will be 21 months then.

It's much safer having them in a car seat in their own seat on the plane, so I definitely would. We've always bought a seat for DC when we fly.

Plus, everyone is more comfortable since you don't have to have DC on you the entire trip.

You also get to carry extra baggage on board. Each seat (at least on SouthWest) gets 2 checked bags, a carry-on, plus a personal bag, so we used that to our advantage when we flew earlier this year. Chat Icon ... strollers and car seats don't count as luggage.
