Aircraft Installation

This child restraint is certified for aircraft use. Most airlines in the U.S. and Canada will allow use of a child restraint if it is labeled as an approved child restraint for airline use and fits properly on plane. Contact the airline about their policy prior to traveling.

The FAA recommends that a child weighing up to 40 pounds use a certified, harnessed child restraint while traveling on an aircraft.

Install your child restraint in a window seat to avoid blocking the aisle.

If the aircraft lap belt is too short, ask the flight attendant for a belt extender.
