They still let in kids under two. I recently read an article (sorry, no cite handy) that discussed a controversial new proposal to require seats for those under 2; basicly Congress recently head testimony from CDC experts that this would be a horrible thing for safety: if even a small percentage of families decide to drive instead of fly, far more kids will die due to the massive disparity in the dangers of travel by automobile vs. airplane, and this increase in road deaths far outweighs any potential advantage of having an infant in a car seat on the plane.
