Description
CARES stands for Child Aviation Restraint System.
CARES is a harness-type safety device designed for children who weight between 22-44 lbs and are sitting in their own seats. (Generally 1-4/5 years old)
CARES is the first - and only - harness-type aviation child restraint certified by the FAA for use on all U.S. registered aircrafts - the only alternative to a car seat.
CARES takes the place of a car seat when traveling by air with young children and provides an equivalent level of safety (ELOS) to a car seat (Stated in the FAA certification designation)
CARES weighs 1 pound (Car seats weigh 25-20 lbs)
CARES comes in a 6 inch stuff sack that fits in a pocket or purse. (Car seats are over 2 feet high, 20 inches wide, heavy, bulky and hard to carry)
CARES is designed specifically for air travel; it is portable, light weight and easy to use.
CARES takes one minute to install on any airplane seat and augments the regular lap belt.
Pares who need the car seat at the other end of the trip can ship it through as luggage, and carry their CARES on board.
CARES has been certified by Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. Certification for many other countries is in process.
