Infants
If you are traveling with an infant (aged 8 days to 23 months), you can include them on your seat booking by making an infant reservation. Infants less than 7 seven days old are not accepted on Arik Air flights. For safety and insurance requirements, infants must be accompanied by a passenger aged 16 years or above and booked in the ratio of one infant per adult. Extra seats can be purchased for infants, but only if seated in an approved infant car seat.source:-arikair.com
