What Experts Say:
Under the provisions in parts 121, 125, and 135 [of the Code Of Federal Regulations] no certificate holder (US registered airline) may prohibit a child from using an approved CRS (child restraint system) when the parent/guardian purchases a ticket for the child.
~FAA Advisory Circular 120-87A Use of Child Restraint Systems on Aircraft page 7, Section 10 e, issued December 1, 2006
This pic was taken during our flight from Jakarta to Hong Kong (about 4+ hrs). The CARES were just wonderful in a few ways:
1. The kids think the CARES were so cool, because it's their own, because the pilots wear them (they visited the cockpit),and the flight attendants also wear them. Made the kids feel like part of the crew.
2. We think it's wonderful, because, it keeps our very very active boy in his seat most of the time (he doesn't sit still longer than a few minutes without seat belts), and when they fall asleep, they don't fall out of the seat.
So glad we have CARES!!!Monda, Indonesia
