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
I work for a major airline and saw a passenger using the CARES restraint. I thought to myself what a great idea for little children. My daughter has been flying since she was 10 weeks old. I recently purchased the restraint and used it on a flight to Jacksonville, FL. I must say it is a wonderful product my daughter thinks she is getting in her car seat when we get on airplanes now. She is only 2 years old and loves it. Thank you for the great product.
