People bring them onboard for children up to 36 months all the time, when they've purchased a child fare seat (not an infant ticket).
I've noticed people have little trolleys that they wheel them in on, and then just fold them up and put them in the hatrack.
Good luck with your trip. Looking after twins.....well I can't even imagine.
according to the emirates website

Children in car seats (6-36 months)*
Children between 6-36 months may travel on board in car seats as long as a separate seat is purchased for the child. During takeoff and landing, however, the child must be held and restrained by the parent until the aircraft has reached cruising altitude.
maxi cosi car seats are easily available in dubai. currently mom&me have the cheapest in the market (deira city centre). previously there were posts here that car seats are cheaper in UK. i bought maxi cosi cabriofix recently for 550 dhs in sale. you can check the price in UK to compare.
I tried to find the store online but can't. Am trying to find stage 2/3 carseats so I think the age up from the Cabriofix.
Thanks girls. I think we are going to buy in Dubai. I rang emirates and you can't take them on the plane for children older than 2. Also they are counted towards your luggage allowance (Unlike a pushchair) x
You can bring the car seats on the plane as checked in luggage. Just get it wrapped in plastic at the airport and check it in. I don't think you can take it in the cabin tho. Yes, u can buy seats here, but if u have them already, just bring them with u.

Have never seen them but then to be honest i never look. I am sure there are threads on here relating to this query and Skykitty on here who is great for emirates advice may know. Try the search box on here :-)

Wondering if we should take our carseats on the plane for our twins or buy in Dubai? Not sure if you can take carseats for Toddlers or if it is just the baby ones. ATM we have Maxi Cosi.
If not can you buy in Dubai? Are they more expensive than UK? Where would you buy from?
