Depends on the age, what you want to do, and / or how full the plane is!
Children under age 2 can fly on a lap ticket. It costs about 10% of the adult fare. Generally, if you wish, you can place your child in a seat if the plane is not full.
Car seats are only used if they are FAA approved. I'm not sure which ones are and which are not. For an infant, many people advocate using a Baby Bjorn or Snuggli on the plane. If you feel safer placing your child in a car seat, you need to purchase a full-fare ticket. You can try bringing the seat on the plane when you have a lap ticket, and if the plane is full, gate check the seat.
Over age 2 is full fare in their own seat.
