Lightweight and compact, it offers a secure, adjustable 3-point harness that works with the airplane seat belt to protect young flyers during taxi, takeoff, turbulence, and landing.

## Description

CARES Kids Fly Safe aviation restraint is designed specifically for aviation use for children age 1 and older who weigh between 22 and 44 pounds. These youngsters are old enough to be in their own seats, but are too small for the seat belt alone to protect them. Their bodies cannot withstand the jolts that are common in routine transportation, less much emergency situations, and they flail forward or slide beneath the seat belt if they are not held securely in place. Each year more and more young children fly. But until CARES Kids Fly Safe aviation restraint came along, what was missing was a convenient, hassle-free way to keep young flyers safe. Here's what makes CARES such an invaluable travel solution: CARES Kids Fly Safe aviation restraint is the first and only aviation Child Safety Device to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an alternative to a car seat. CARES Kids Fly Safe aviation restraint is an elegantly designed belt-and-buckle device that works in conjunction with the regular airplane seat belt and provides young travelers the same level of safety as a car seat. CARES Kids Fly Safe aviation restraint weighs just one pound and fits into a 6" stuff sack! It is easily portable, simple to install, adjustable to nearly every size airplane seat, and usable on any seat in the airplane, except in the emergency exit rows. Need your car seat on the other end of the trip? Just check it through as luggage and carry CARES Kids Fly Safe aviation restraint on board in your pocket! CARES is manufactured exclusively by AmSafe Aviation, the foremost manufacturer of aviation seatbelts and pilot restraints in the world. (Turn over your airplane seat belt buckle. Chances are it says AmSafe.) portiis made of the same industrial-strength webbing as your own seat belt and is engineered to the highest aviation-safety standards. INCLUDES: Restraint, instruction card, instruction video on DVD, and travel bag.

Review: Much better than a lap strap for small children. - Really good for providing a much better and safer restraint for small children on aircraft. It does need some cooperation from the person sat behind to slot the strap under their tray table but we found people were happy to help. My only concern was whether the product was genuine but as far as I can tell it does seem to be.
Review: Love this - I have used this on 6 flights now, both on Ryanair and KLM. On KLM you need to tell them that you plan to use this in advance and they add it to your booking so make sure you tell them at least a few days before your trip. After using this on a short flight I realised you really need a sticky mat so that the child doesn't slide down, especially on "leather" seats. I bought this for £3: B07JWKPD8J (search the code on desertcart) and it worked perfectly and I just washed it after use in the sink with fairy liquid as it got the regular toddler food and drink messes on it during the flight. The harness itself isn't washable but can be wiped down if needed, just read the instructions to avoid damaging it. It has worked perfectly on various planes. It was easiest to sit at the back of the plane so that we didn't need to explain to the person behind us what we were doing, but thankfully we didn't have any issues with other passengers when we did need to set it up and move their tray table etc. It isn't possible/easy for a toddler to sleep with this so I mainly used it for take off and landing and let my child lie down with just the lap belt on when sleeping. Maybe a neck pillow would work but I haven't tried that. It is easy to fit this in your bag and doesn't take up much space at all. Good product, even though it is expensive.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, I understand this clips around the back of the chair... Does this effect the persons behind? Hinder their tray etc? Thanks**
A: The main strap does go around the back of the chair. When putting it on the chair, you need to open the person behind's tray table and then close it on top of it. Aside from seeing the belt when they open their tray table, they shouldn't have any issue. The only time you may need their cooperation is when you put the belt on initially (we boarded early so no issue) and when removing it after the plane lands.

**Q: Can cares harness be used on aerlingus and ryanair flights in europe?**
A: We use it on EasyJet so guess with the flight regulations it will be ok

**Q: Hi. has anyone used this on a thomson plane? thomson dont seem to know what im talking about, even though its listed as one of the approving airlines.**
A: Yes we used this on  a Thomson flight travelling to Mexico a few years back. Son was under 2 at the time but we purchased a seat for him and thought this would be better than just using lap belt. No airline staff questioned the Cares restraint system, we just popped it straight into the seat.Hope that helps.

**Q: Does this fit around an economy seat on a Qantas A380?**
A: I haven't flown Qantas with it, but flown lots of other airlines and fits just fine. I can't see it being a problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive but good well made simple to use product
*by R***. on 23 July 2018*

Expensive but good well made product kept 2 year old in her seat for take off and landing which is what I was looking for and she was comfortable enough to have a little sleep. Very easy to use, it pushed her down a little in her seat so I can’t inagine using it for long periods of time but happy with it and it suited the purpose well. The airline checked it carefully and didn’t query us using it when I showed them the label so the fact it’s approved is important as they clearly wouldn’t have let us use another option for strapping her in other than the standard seatbelt.
