When Traveling With Kids
When traveling with kids it is important to plan ahead to make your getaway with your family as comfortable as possible. We have a few recommendations for you if flying with your kids and whether to take a car seat or not.
Airplane regulations
FAA recommends that the safest place for your child is in an approved child restraint system (CRS), such as the CARES Safety Harness, or device, not in your lap. FAA recommends that a child weighing:
• Less than 20 pounds use a rear-facing CRS
• From 20 to 40 pounds use a forward-facing CRS
• More than 40 pounds use an airplane seat belt
• A child may also use an alternative, such as a a harness-type restraint, if it is approved by FAA. FAA has approved one restraint appropriate for children weighing between 22 and 44 pounds. This type of restraint is not safe for use in motor vehicles.
Based on this information we have a couple of options we would like to provide you.
