The harness is a very simple design: there’s an installation strap, made of seat belt material, that wraps around the plane seat and gets tightened underneath the tray table. That means it’s not for babies or little toddlers. This FAA-certified harness is designed for use on airplanes only, for children weighing between 22-44 lbs. No wonder I’d rather just stay home, lol.Įnter the CARES (Child Aviation Restraint System) harness by Kids Fly Safe.
CARES ® CHILD AVIATION RESTRAINT SYSTEM AUSTRALIA PLUS
No matter what, it’s schlepping something with bags tossed on it, plus dragging another car seat or booster, plus dragging my laptop (What?! Me travel without my computer? Never!), plus dragging 2 complaining kids along. I did it when traveling by myself with a baby and I did it when traveling with my dh and 2 kids. Let’s face it: car seats are a PITB to lug through the airport. Safe Kids USA recommends buckling kids up on aircraft.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has a policy recommending that children of all ages be restrained on an aircraft. The airplane coffee pot is required to be restrained during take-off, landing, and turbulence, but children under 2 are not. But wait! Across the aisle is a child under the age of 2 who isn’t required to be restrained, being held in a parent’s arms. The pilot inevitably announces that drink service must be stopped and the flight attendants should take their seats until the air settles down and it’s safe to move about the cabin again. I’ve been flying a lot back and forth across the country recently and that involves flying over mountain ranges where turbulence is prevalent and there’s always some big storm to fly over that makes the plane ride feel more like a roller coaster ride.
