Installing a Child Restraint in an 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 ight 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 - 18 kg (20 - 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.
