Plus size travel on plane!

Hoping one of you is able to help! I am due to go on my first holiday with my little girl in a few weeks and she will be 5 months old. Do any of you know if she can sit on my knee if I need a seatbelt extender? I am due to be flying with Ryan air who always seem to have smaller belts than other airlines. Baby is breastfed so need to know if I should pump before or if she can have a feed as usual.

We travelled with our 5 months old baby in June and she sat on my lap the entire time. They usually provide a seatbelt extender to attach little one to your seat. She’s also EBF so I fed her as to when she needed it. It was actually a very smooth journey and we flew with BA.

Baby gets an extender as well. So you do your belt and then baby’s has a loop to go through yours and round them. They have their own belt rather than using yours. She’ll have to lap sit under 2, unless you’ve bought a seat specifically for her and have a car seat onboard. It’s fine to breastfeed onboard too but it might be awkward if the seats are tight. Are you travelling alone? X

No im travelling with my husband so worse case she can sit with him, I know she gets her own belt but sometimes I have needed my own extender would they allow hers to go through another if that makes sense x
