I can't seem to track this down definitively, does one have to provide APIS for children under 2 years of age?
 
yes , all passengers, even infants must.

Who is required to have a travel authorization?

All passengers traveling under the Visa Waiver Program are required to have an approved travel authorization prior to traveling to the United States by air or sea. Even non-ticketed infants are required to have an approved travel authorization, if they do not have a visa for travel to the United States. An application may be submitted by a third party on behalf of a Visa Waiver Program traveler.
 
Thanks for that. I had already completed the ESTA and junior already has a passport. I'm talking about the pre-filight information that you complete on the airlines website prior to travel.

The thing is my booking on Continental has links for me and my wife to complete APIS but none for junior.

Has anyone traveled with an under-2 with Continental and had to fill in this info??
 
don't worry about it, just give them the details at check-in. It is their job to ensure that all the necessary info has been input.
Your job is the ESTA, the green waiver form and the passport
 
Thanks soy. On reflection it is their job to provide the info. to the relevant authorities, not me.

I rang Continental and the person there said that it was not required as the child was not taking up a seat. Apparently APIS is only required for those in a seat.
