Child seat

As I understand the rules, any DOT approved child seat is OK
in an airplane for an appropriate sized child.

The rule that says a child may be held may be legal, but it
will be a serious injury in turbulence and a death if there
is a crash.

Can't speak for Canada, but the aircraft rules apply to the
pilot and airplane, N registration and US pilot certificate,
follow US FAR. You do have to follow Canadian flight rules
in Canada. The AOPA has some pretty complete advisories on
flying into Canada as per Customs clearance, flight plans
and I'm sure they can give you the best answer about car
child seats.
