What are your experiences with giving young children a (first) flight in GA-type aircraft, such as a Cessna 172? How old were they? How did they take to it? Did you use a children's car seat? Did they wear a headset?

I know of at least three keen GA flyers who have taken their offspring on first flights withing three months of birth.

I think they all wore headsets so they could hear the ATCO over the noise of the children howling. ;)

Did they come back with them , or did they have to jettison some weight in a mid flight crisis - must have been tempting .:)
