UA PAGE CLEARLY SAYS OVER 2 MUST WEAR A MASK, so they should have allowed them to fly based off the wording of their own page
I agree with you! Airlines have NO right to demand a baby or toddler to wear a mask.

2 and under are not required to wear a mask and it is actually considered dangerous for them.

All that to see a tree? Not me. The two year old won’t even remember seeing it. I think I’d wait, thanks.
What airlines? Traveling soon with my granddaughter. Makes me nervous. Hope this is not fake. Not fair to people traveling and poor grandma’s traveling alone with 2 year old.
My 2 yr old years a mask, we make it a game, works perfect!
Kids are the worst for getting sick and spreading germs around, so I agree they should have to wear one just like everyone else

They did a interview with them and they wouldn’t give them their luggage, they had to wait 24 hours to get the luggage. What airline was it? No apology and no refund. If that were me I would file a lawsuit.

Well then you calmly tell her the importance of wearing a mask and to make it not uncomfortable you can ask them what colour masks they want to hear you have to go down to their level and tell them “sweety I know you don’t like to wear a mask but we have to wear masks because it’s the rules and we have to consider other people’s health and ours too it’s the same as washing our hands we do it because we want to be safe and healthy and it’s the rules”
They no longer have to worry about a mask on that airline, they have been banned from flying on it!!??
Most places have exemptions for children 2 and under but idk if that applies to planes.
They knew the requirements before they got on the plane. Stop whining.

I thought the mask mandate was for those over age 2, in most sta.
This is what happens when people get ingrained with the idea that everything the Government or Experts say is correct. They never stop to see if it actually is.

Colorado only requires masks for those 11 and over
Up to age 5 they don’t have to wear them
I quite frankly don’t give a crap whether you want to wear a mask or not. BUT…by doing so…refusing to wear one…which fine…you wanna act like this literal 2 year old…you are putting me at risk and that is unacceptable. Why put a plane full of people and your 2 year old at risk of getting covid and possibly dying…and then those people possibly infecting others? Makes no sense. So what…they were kicked off a plane…possibly saving lives. Boo freaking whooo. SHEESH!!!

The parents knew the rules. Why even attempt it if they knew their child wouldn’t wear it and they knew they wouldn’t be able to follow those rules?
Also, 2 year olds ARE capable of listening. That’s part of being a parent…telling your child they need to do something–yes even at 2–and them listening.
In other words, teaching them to do as they’re told.

Wake up people, this is the biggest scam in history. Check the CDC deaths by year & you’ll find no covid spike in 2020 despite claims that 300,000 have died. In San Diego they had 20,000 flu cases in 2019, in 2020 only 37, however covid cases are very high. The PCR test they use is only meant to magnify a specimen, not detect if a person has an illness. That is why 80% of the people who test positive have no symptoms. They are using the MSM to drive fear & convince you to get va x’d, the va x is not safe & likely contains nano tech to connect you to the cloud. x.com

My friend”s granddaughter is 2 and she wears one . It’s for her protection . In the case of the airplane situation , the airline doesn’t want to be liable for the possibility of both the child getting sick or others getting sick if the child is ill . Yes we can say we have rights etc to do what we want but not on someone else’s plane .

I think the family was treated horribly. First off, the father was almost trying to cover his child’s mouth with the mask which is terrible but he was desperate! They tried and tried. They were thrown off the plane is bad enough; but their luggage and car seat sent to New York and too bad for them and then lastly, to be told they are banned for life from the airline is just about the most punitive, awful treatment towards a family that couldn’t force a 2 year old to mask. Just a lot punitive, harsh and insane!

Some two year olds will wear a mask, some will not. Regardless, the rule for this flight is that passengers must wear a mask. If the two year old is unable to abide by this rule, they’re unable to take that flight. It’s pretty simple. The entitlement of those that feel rules don’t apply to them is unreal.

Stop being the sheep! We’ve flown since Covid and I have a grandson with sensory issues! He fine for awhile, but then he can’t handle it anymore! He’s flown twice since Covid and the airlines were ok with it! They had the middle seats open on the flights and took temps! The ones who have underlying conditions need to stay at home not healthy people!

She’s only 2, they could have tried to reason with her by making it into a fun game. Many years ago I worked with a woman who had a small child, about 2 and she said you try to make a game out of certain things that you want them to do. Her boy wouldn’t pick up his toys, she made it into a game of toss the toys in the basket and he complied. It was interesting to me and fun to watch because had I known that when my kids were young, I would have had better control of them.

I felt bad for the family but watching my husband be Santa I saw many 18months and up wearing masks successfully. I also work with special needs groups and some will while some won’t. I would have practiced at home before making the flight. I would have moved the family on the plane to a secluded location or staff quarters to keep the family and others safe and free from mean people.
If the issue was dad, kids also mimic what they see. Dad should have also been a role model.

Wearing a mask does not protect YOU from contracting the virus. It protects others by limiting your ability to spread it. (If you happen to be unknowingly carrying it.) Being in a small, enclosed space with recycled air, for a prolonged period of time is THE MOST likely environment in which to contract this virus. (If another individual in that space is infected.) If that two YO was infected, s/he could potentially spread it to many other passengers, whether they’re wearing masks or not. If you know your child will not wear a mask, don’t plan to bring them on a plane. If the airline bends the rules for you, then it should bend them for anyone else who wants, right?

Hmmm what if they have to wear a nebulizer mask? My 18 mo old freaked out the first time but you have to make them do it. That was much more traumatic than a fabric mask like everyone else is wearing. My son is 29 now so maybe the treatments are different now but he hated that mask but he had to do it. And he was younger.
My niece has 2 little boys. One is 2 1/2 the other 1 1/2
The 2 year old wears one and the 1 year old wants his too. On they go and stay on until it’s time to take them off.
