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.
