Although children under 2 years old
may be held in your arms during a
flight, it is highly recommended that
you use an approved child restraint
system (car seat) for all phases of
the flight. Any car seat intended for
use on board an aircraft must have
a statement of compliance label
indicating the date it was manufactured
and confirming that it meets the
applicable design standard.
The use of a car seat provides the best
protection for the infant or child and
minimizes the effects of unanticipated
turbulence. Using a familiar car seat will
make your child more comfortable, and
you can also use it when you reach
your destination.

Installing a Child Restraint in an Aircraft
Using a child car seat
If you decide to use a car seat, always:
•
check with your airline for its specific
policies
•
follow the manufacturer's installation
instructions
•
tighten the aircraft seat belt through
the correct path on the car seat
•
secure straps out of the way since
lower anchor and tether straps
cannot be used on board the aircraft
Aircraft seats are designed to different
standards than automobile seats, so
restraint devices may work differently and
fit differently in them.
