Child Aviation Restraint System (CARES)

The AmSafe Child Aviation Restraint System (CARES) is the world's first aviation alternative to a car seat. CARES is an innovative belt-and-buckle device that attaches directly to the airplane seatbelt. Simple to install, adjustable to fit virtually any size airplane seat, CARES is FAA certified for children weighing between 22-44 pounds occupying their own seat. Passengers with children can now check the bulky car seat through as luggage and take CARES on board. Weighing only one pound and fitting into a small carrying case, this child restraint provides a low-cost, easy and effective solution for improved child passenger safety. CARES is the first alternative aviation child safety device to be certified by the FAA for all phases of flight - taxi, take-off and landing.
