At this point we were asked to leave the paperwork with the flight attendants and were told they would let us know if their ‘book’ said it was ok.Īfter just a few minutes one of the ladies came to our seat and gave us the go ahead to use the harness with for our son. Thankfully CARES had included printed copies from Transport Canada and The Federal Aviation Administration’s websites outlining the child restraint system’s purpose, weight limit and sub-section code. We were immediately told that we were not allowed to use the harness as it interfered with their seating. Not knowing what to expect, I informed the flight attendants of our plans to use the CARES harness as soon as we boarded our US Airlines flight. Loops at the bottom of the harness slip through the airplane’s lap belt giving you the safety of a 5-point harness without the extra 30lbs the seat comes with. In an attempt to lighten our load and reduce what we have to bag check, we chose to try out the CARES 5-point Child Aviation Restraint System on a recent vacation.Īpproved for use on airplanes traveling in North America, the CARES Restraint System is a lightweight belt that slips easily over the seat to create a harness similar to the one on my son’s regular Car Seat.
The only problem with this is that the Car Seat is heavy, bulky and a pain to cart around the airport. Our guy is a bit of a mover so we fear that if he was in just a lap belt he may be able to undo it and try to move around the plane. Every time we travel by airplane we bring my son’s car seat so that he is safe and secure.
