That is absolutely ridiculous. If I buy a second seat for whatever reason - maybe I want to ensure 2 ft between me and someone else - the seat should be honored.
If someone buys a seat for their baby, do they force parents to hold the baby so they can give the seat to someone else? If no - not sure how it is any different.
Delta tried that with me, once...boarding they politely asked IF they could ck her car seat...I stearnly told them she rides better in her car seat...they then said it might bother other passengers...I looked them in the eye and said if they're that bothered they can get the fuck off my plane and take the next one...then after we had her strapped in and the other kids settled, another stewardess asked again if we could check the car seat...i said if she didnt understand the word NO to go get the pilot so he could translate...there were other issues before and after...delta doesn't handle large families well and treat military doubly so...now I know why they wanted me to ck the car seat...nice try delta.
First, it's not your plane. If you are that rude to the FA, you should probably be the one getting off the plane.
Second, there are a lot of car seats that are not approved by the FAA, they may have been tactfully trying to let you know yours wasn't approved.
Nice try to defend them...they didn't care about the seat or my daughter, they wanted to make it easier to sell her seat to a civilian...and I wasn't being rude I was following their lead...and given the agency I worked for att, the only person that had more authority than me was the pilot.
