You must obtain confirmation from Finnair before bringing an infant
seat on board. You must present the seat’s usage instructions when you board
the aircraft, so that we can check its safety certification labelling. We
cannot, however, guarantee that your infant seat will be compatible with the
aircraft seat you have reserved for your child – if your infant seat does not
fit into the aircraft seat or it cannot be safely secured, we will place it
in an overhead locker or the hold of the aircraft.
Infant seats must be equipped with a three or five-point harness and will be fastened to the aircraft seat facing backward. Infant car seats must be equipped with a five-point harness and will be fastened to the aircraft seat facing forward. Your infant seat or infant car seat must be a certified child restraint device - it must be approved for transport use in one of the following ways
·
The seat is approved for use in motor vehicles according to UN
standard ECE R44.03 or later series amendments.

Federal Aviation Administration or Transport Canada (on the basis of a
national technical standard), and is marked accordingly.
·
The seat is approved for use in motor vehicles and aircraft according
to Canadian standard CMVSS 213/213.1.
·
The seat is approved for use in motor vehicles and aircraft according
to US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213, and manufactured
according to this standard after 25 February 1985. US-approved child
