My daughter just turned a year old and in that year she has been on at least 8 roundtrips. When she was really young, she traveled in her graco snap in seat, which was convienent because it snapped into the stroller which was checked at the aircraft door. Once she got bigger, we brought a carseat which can be strapped in forward or rear facing. There is a little device in the front which unsnaps and changes the angle depending in which way it is facing. The most important thing to bring are toys to keep them occupied and something drink, which helps equalize their ear pressure during takeoff and approach.
