Virgin Atlantic has gone car seat friendly!

Checked Virgin Atlantic's website for totally unrelated reasons this evening and thought would take a look at their travel with Infant and children section as baby number 3 is due this month and number 2 is currently still under 2 to find that if travelling in economy providing you have booked a seat you can now bring your own car seat on board, whereas previously you could only use seats provided by Virgin Atlantic

Unfortunately they're not particularly helpful on types you can bring onboard, so no clarification yet about infant bucket seats that have been cleared for air travel, instead they only tell you that the following are not permitted

• CoziGo (which is a cover for strollers or airline bassinets)
• FlyTOT/Playing Pal - Assuming here they actually mean the Fly Tot Plane Pal which is an inflatable cushion that can turn an economy seat into a bed
• Skybaby (travel mattress, which by the sound of it is more for someone flying with a lap infant)
• Bedbox (as it says on the tin but also a ride on suitcase similar to Trunki)
• Fly legs up (another inflatable leg rest)

What noone could have failed to notice here is that none of these are car seats!! Hopefully in the future Virgin will be more specific on type. It is worth noting that a car seat can only be used in Economy so to hazard a guess can only be used with a seat where the arm rest can be raised so not in the bulkhead row
