During light turbulence, what action is taken with infants using bassinets or infant seats?

• A. Remove them and secure using an extension seatbelt or other approved restraint.
• B. Leave them in place and continue as normal.
• C. Move them to the cabin floor.
• D. Place them on a parent's lap without restraint.

Answer: (A)

During turbulence, every passenger, including infants, must be restrained. Bassinets aren’t secured for the jolts of turbulence, so the infant should be removed from the bassinet and secured with an extension seatbelt or another approved restraint. This keeps the baby safely restrained to the aircraft seat or in a proper child safety seat, reducing the risk of injury from sudden movement. Leaving the infant in the bassinet, placing them on a parent's lap without a restraint, or moving them to the cabin floor would violate safety procedures and increase injury risk.
