 We
loved the CARES child aviation restraint when we put it to the
test.
The CARES was easy to install in
the coach-class airplane seat and a lot easier than trying to
carry and install a car seat. When our test pilot (Ben, 3) got
twitchy on the long flight, we let him take his shoulders out of
the straps, and we were still happy to know we could easily slip
them back on when the fasten-seat-belt sign lit up for
turbulence.
Overall we rate this product
highly and much prefer it to carrying a car seat (as the FAA
recommended before this product became available). It does not
weigh much (400g) and was easy to transport in it's carry pouch
in my cabin bag.
The CARES also comes with an installation
DVD, which was a great help to watch before we set off and got
Ben excited about his upcoming trip too --- double the value!
CARES features:
CARES (child aviation restraint system) is
designed for children between 22-44lb who are able to sit in
their own airplane seat. The device was designed, developed, and
promoted through the FAA stringent testing by Louise Stoll (grandma
extraordinaire) after she saw her daughter shlepping two car
seats and two children through the airport. We just love that
story too!
