## Overview

CARES Child Aviation Restraint System is the first and only FAA-approved harness designed specifically for children 22-44 lbs to use on airplanes. It installs in under a minute, fits all standard airplane seats, and provides superior safety during all flight phases including turbulence. Lightweight and compact, it’s the must-have travel essential for millennial parents who demand both safety and convenience on the go.

## Description

Product Description CARES Child Aviation Restraint System is designed specifically for aviation use for children age 1 and older who weigh between 22 and 44 pounds. These youngsters are old enough to be in their own seats, but are too small for the seat belt alone to protect them and provide the safety they require during airplane travel. Their bodies cannot withstand the jolts that are common in routine air travel, much less emergency situations, and they flail forward or slide beneath the seat belt if they are not held securely in place. Now there is an easier, better way to fly safe with kids. Just carry a CARES in your pocket or purse, install it on the airplane seat in one minute, and turn any airplane seat into a safe airplane seat for your child. CARES (child aviation restraint system) is the first and only FAA approved harness type child safety device. CARES is an innovative restraint for kids that attaches directly to the back of the airplane seat and augments the regular seat belt. CARES weighs 1 pound, fits in a 6" stuff sack and is FAA certified for all phases of flight – taxiing, take off, turbulence and landing. CARES fits all size airplane seats and takes one minute to install. CARES takes the hassle out of flying with kids and keeps them as safe as a car seat. Adjusts to fit almost every size airplane seat Easy to install takes less than 1 minute Designed for children 1 year and older weighing 22 to 44 pounds and up to 40 inches tall CARES is the first and only harness type Aviation Child Safety Device to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Set Up Instructions 1. Seat your child in the airplane seat he or she will occupy. 2. Lower the tray table behind your child’s seat. 3. Slide the RED LOOP of the CARES restraint over the seat back, adjust the height of the RED LOOP so it is just above your child’s shoulders, and tighten it. Then close the tray table covering the Red Loop. 4. Place the BLACK SHOULDER STRAPS over your child’s shoulders and slide the buckle and connector ends of the regular airplane seat belt through the loops at the bottom of the BLACK SHOULDER STRAPS. 5 Buckle the seat belt and pull it snugly across your child’s lap as you normally would do – and then buckle the chest clip and snug down the Shoulder Straps. Makes Traveling Quick And Easy! Compact fits into 6 inches stuff sack Weighs just 1 pound Frequently Asked Questions Is CARES truly FAA approved, and what does that certification actually mean for my child's safety? Yes — CARES (Child Aviation Restraint System) is the first and only harness-type child safety device certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an alternative on an aircraft. It is approved for use during all phases of flight including taxiing, takeoff, turbulence, and landing. Certification means the device has been rigorously tested and meets federal aviation safety standards To confirm authenticity, look for the label reading "FAA Approved" on the device. CARES is designed and manufactured by AmSafe, the global leader in aviation restraint technology. What is the weight and age range for CARES, and will it work for my child? CARES is designed for children weighing between 22 and 44 pounds who are old enough to sit in their own airplane seat — typically toddlers and young children approximately 1 to 4 years old, though weight is the determining factor rather than age. The child must be able to sit upright independently in an airplane seat. CARES is not intended for infants or children under 22 lbs. How do I install CARES on an airplane seat, and does it work on all seat types? CARES installs in approximately one minute and requires no tools. The harness loops around the top of the airplane seatback and connects to the existing airplane lap belt at the buckle. Once secured, the shoulder straps go over your child's shoulders and clip into a chest buckle at the front, creating a four-point restraint system that works in conjunction with the airplane's lap belt. CARES is designed to fit all standard economy and business class airplane seats — narrow-body, wide-body, domestic, and international — as it adjusts to accommodate different seatback heights and widths. A detailed installation guide and access to instructional video content is included with purchase Can I practice installing CARES before my flight, and are there any common installation mistakes to avoid? Yes — and we strongly recommend it. Practicing at home on a dining chair or car seat before your travel day helps you and your child get comfortable with the harness so installation on the plane feels quick and stress-free. The most common mistakes to avoid are: (1) looping the back strap too loosely around the seatback, which can allow the harness to shift; (2) not threading the lap belt through the correct designated belt path on the CARES harness before buckling; and (3) leaving the shoulder straps too loose — they should be snug but comfortable. Always refer to the included instruction guide and verify the setup matches the manufacturer's instructions before takeoff.

Review: Recommend - Life savier for a toddler I used it with BA (middle seat) And easy jet (window seat but on return, they asked for nobody behind) - I found the usage allowance very inconsistent! Very eaay to fit. Nothing between the legs so depending on size, little one may slide a little. I wish the price was slitghly lower (vs the non CARES one that are identical) but here we are!
Review: Love this - I have used this on 6 flights now, both on Ryanair and KLM. On KLM you need to tell them that you plan to use this in advance and they add it to your booking so make sure you tell them at least a few days before your trip. After using this on a short flight I realised you really need a sticky mat so that the child doesn't slide down, especially on "leather" seats. I bought this for £3: B07JWKPD8J (search the code on desertcart) and it worked perfectly and I just washed it after use in the sink with fairy liquid as it got the regular toddler food and drink messes on it during the flight. The harness itself isn't washable but can be wiped down if needed, just read the instructions to avoid damaging it. It has worked perfectly on various planes. It was easiest to sit at the back of the plane so that we didn't need to explain to the person behind us what we were doing, but thankfully we didn't have any issues with other passengers when we did need to set it up and move their tray table etc. It isn't possible/easy for a toddler to sleep with this so I mainly used it for take off and landing and let my child lie down with just the lap belt on when sleeping. Maybe a neck pillow would work but I haven't tried that. It is easy to fit this in your bag and doesn't take up much space at all. Good product, even though it is expensive.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi, I understand this clips around the back of the chair... Does this effect the persons behind? Hinder their tray etc? Thanks**
A: The main strap does go around the back of the chair. When putting it on the chair, you need to open the person behind's tray table and then close it on top of it. Aside from seeing the belt when they open their tray table, they shouldn't have any issue. The only time you may need their cooperation is when you put the belt on initially (we boarded early so no issue) and when removing it after the plane lands.

**Q: Can cares harness be used on aerlingus and ryanair flights in europe?**
A: We use it on EasyJet so guess with the flight regulations it will be ok

**Q: Hi. has anyone used this on a thomson plane? thomson dont seem to know what im talking about, even though its listed as one of the approving airlines.**
A: Yes we used this on  a Thomson flight travelling to Mexico a few years back. Son was under 2 at the time but we purchased a seat for him and thought this would be better than just using lap belt. No airline staff questioned the Cares restraint system, we just popped it straight into the seat.Hope that helps.

**Q: Does this fit around an economy seat on a Qantas A380?**
A: I haven't flown Qantas with it, but flown lots of other airlines and fits just fine. I can't see it being a problem.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive but good well made simple to use product
*by R***. on 23 July 2018*

Expensive but good well made product kept 2 year old in her seat for take off and landing which is what I was looking for and she was comfortable enough to have a little sleep. Very easy to use, it pushed her down a little in her seat so I can’t inagine using it for long periods of time but happy with it and it suited the purpose well. The airline checked it carefully and didn’t query us using it when I showed them the label so the fact it’s approved is important as they clearly wouldn’t have let us use another option for strapping her in other than the standard seatbelt.
