Aer Lingus + FAA approved car seats

Hi We have a disabled 3 year old son - and will take our first fliight with him since he passed 2 years old - so he now needs his own seat. He does not sit unaided very well and with just the plane laptop belt will probably flop forwards / sidewards. I rang the EI special needs team and they said we can bring a car seat on…

Hi
We have a disabled 3 year old son - and will take our first fliight with him since he passed 2 years old - so he now needs his own seat.
He does not sit unaided very well and with just the plane laptop belt will probably flop forwards / sidewards.
I rang the EI special needs team and they said we can bring a car seat on board (even though he is older than 2) but it must have a sticker stated Approved by FAA for airline use...they could not give me details of which specific car seats are allowable
so anyone have experience of these?
thanks for help

A childs family who I worked with used this site to figure out which seats were ok to travel.
