I vote with strapping kids into seats for landing and take-off,

car seat for 'just a quick trip around the block' -- annoying, yes, but
still in terms of safety, pretty reasonable.

In general a resounding yes, but JJs baby was hysterical and ended up making
herself vomit, which is about the one time you wouldn't so it! At least when
you go round the block, you can usually decide not to go, wait til baby has
calmed down etc. when a plane is landing, you can't!
