Securing Your Child Restraint in
Aircraft
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
recommends that you secure your child for air travel
in an appropriate child restraint based on your child’s
weight and size. Turbulence can happen with little
or no warning. When turbulence occurs, the safest
place for your child is in a properly installed
child restraint, not in an adult’s lap or on
the aircraft seat with its seat belt. Keeping
your child in a child restraint during the flight will help
ensure your family arrives safely at your destination.
The FAA recommends that a child weighing:*
• more than 18 kg (40 lbs) use an aircraft seat belt;
• less than 9 kg (20 lbs) use a rear-facing child
restraint; and
• from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs) use a forward-facing
child restraint.
* Please note that these FAA recommendations may
vary from those applicable to the use of your child
restraint in a motor vehicle.
Installing Child Restraint in Aircraft
IMPORTANT: Before installing the child restraint, make
sure the aircraft seat is in a fully upright position.
1. Place the child restraint in position.
Place the child restraint on the aircraft seat
forward-facing, as shown above.
