> That’s almost three weeks of not having one to safely transport my child, no support or compensation.

Why not just buy a new one and charge the airline for it?

Also at least in Germany you risk the costs with no compensation for taking that risk.

At least in the US they have to repay you for items purchased to temporarily replace items in delayed luggage- subject to reasonable costs and a total limit.

They won't compensate you unless the luggage hasn't been delivered within three weeks. Even then they'll put up a battle and make you go through a bunch of forms and hotlines, request receipts that you might not have anymore etc.

For a baby car seat, probably not worth it. For other things it might be but the receipt is missing etc.

At the end it's a damage you have to face for them not doing their job right.
