What Experts Say:

Using CARES IN UK/Europe

You wouldn’t dream of allowing your child in a car travelling 60 miles an hour without being strapped into a proper car seat but what about in an aeroplane travelling at 600 miles per hour? The aeroplane lap belt alone does not, in fact cannot, provide sufficient protection for small kids in the event of turbulence as they cannot brace against the seat ahead of them like adults can. Every year in turbulence and rough landings, children get tossed around and injured.

Until recently the only safe way to travel in aeroplanes with youngsters was to haul their car seats along.  But car seats are large and bulky, weigh upward of 8 kilos, and are definitely not designed for mobility – especially in today’s huge, crowded, security laden airports and on full aeroplanes.

To add to the stress, car seats are required to be installed in the window seat of the row so as not to impede others should the need for a quick exit arise. So most parents leave the car seats at home and pray that their trip will be flawless.

NOW THERE IS A PRACTICAL, EFFICIENT SOLUTION TO SAFE AIRPLANE TRAVEL FOR KIDS: the CARES Child Aviation Restraint.

CARES is a ½ kilo belt and buckle device that compliments the regular aeroplane lap belt, installs in one minute on any size aeroplane seat, is permitted on any seat in the row, and keeps your child as safe as a car seat would. It fits in your pocket or purse. CARES is manufactured by AmSafe Aviation, the foremost manufacturer of airplane seatbelts and pilot restraints in the world. It is certified for all phases of flight by the US Federal Aviation restraint (FAA), by the UK Civil Aviation Authority, (CAA), the aviation authorities of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Singapore and Israel, and is welcomed by nearly all the major airlines of Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.  

CARES has revolutionized the way families fly. Over 2000 UK and European parents have already discovered CARES and over 55,000 parents worldwide are now using CARES when they fly. CARES has recently become available on the web and top children’s stores in the UK and Europe… check the “Where to Buy” page of website www.kidsflysafe.com for a convenient European or UK location – or a local web store to order CARES for your child.
