The airline maintains the family was rebooked on another flight over concerns that the the child safety seat did not meet federal regulations.
This is Eaman-Amy Saad Shebley, who lives in Illinois with her husband and three children.

On Wednesday, Shebley posted a message on Facebook alleging that she and her family were asked to leave a United Airlines flight in Chicago that was bound for Washington, D.C., for "no reason other than how we look."
While the message says United Airlines crew members told her they get off the plane for "safety flight issues," Shebley says it was "discrimination."
"My three kids are too young to have experienced this," she added.
In the message, she compared her experience to an incident in May, when another Muslim woman, Tahera Ahmad, alleged racial discrimination while aboard a Untied Airlines flight. Ahmad, who is a Northwestern University chaplain, said she was denied an unopened soda can from a flight attendant who said she "may use it as a weapon."

Along with the message, Shebley also posted two videos of the incident that show United Airlines crew members asking her family to leave the plane.
