air travel tips for families
flying with a baby or small child
We're flying in a plane!
Paula's away flying until September 2008. When she gets she'll report on flying
in Singapore Air's new 380 and
traveling with a pre-school-age child in the UK.
CARES is the only approved child aviation
restraint that is not a car seat. That means you don't have to carry a heavy (not intended to be portable) car seat around
the airport, just a 400g harness in your cabin bag.
CARES (child aviation restraint system) is
designed for children between 22-44lb who are able to sit in
their own airplane seat. The device is designed specifically for
use in airplanes, and tested specifically for use by children in
airplanes.
CARES features:
Weighs less than 400g
Fits in a 30cm carry pouch
Simple to install
Easy to adjust to fit your child
Suitable to use in any airplane seats
except exit rows
You can buy a
pre-loved
or to rent at eBay.
