"The Federal Aviation Administration strongly urges you to secure your child in an appropriate restraint based on weight and size. Turbulence can happen with little or no warning. And when it does, the safest place for your child is in a Certified Restraint System."

"Under the provisions in parts 121, 125, and 135 [of the Code Of Federal Regulations] no certificate holder (US registered airline) may prohibit a child from using an approved CRS (child restraint system) when the parent/guardian purchases a ticket for the child."
From FAA Advisory Circular 120-87A Use of Child Restraint Systems on Aircraft page 7, Section 10 e, issued December 1, 2006

"All children 40 lbs and under should be in child safety seats on airplanes."

"Testing has shown that aircraft seat belts alone do not adequately protect children younger than three years. All children should travel properly restrained on aircraft…a child is best protected when properly restrained in a child seat system appropriate for the age, weight and height of the child, and meeting the standards for aircraft, until the child weighs more than 40 lbs."
