Aircraft Installation

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

The FAA recommends that a child weighing up to 40 lbs (18.1 kg) use a certified, harnessed child seat while traveling on an aircraft.

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

Rear-Facing Installation

For rear-facing aircraft installation (Fig. A), follow Rear-Facing Lap Belt Installation instructions on pages 38 – 41.

Forward-Facing Installation

For forward-facing aircraft installation (Fig. B), follow Forward-Facing Lap Belt Installation instructions on pages 50 – 53.

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

NOTE: Your child may experience discomfort if the buckle is located in the seating area of the child seat after installation.
