Description
CARES Children Fly Safe aviation restraint is intended specifically for aviation use for kids 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. Their bodies cannot withstand the jolts this are common in routine transportation, much less emergency situations, and they flail forward or slide underneath the seat belt if they are not held securely in situate. Every year extra and extra young kids fly. But until CARES Children Fly Safe aviation restraint came along, what was missing was a convenient, hassle-free way to keep young flyers safe. Here's what makes CARES such an invaluable journey answer: CARES Children Fly Safe aviation restraint is the first and only aviation Kid Security Device to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as an substitute to a car seat. CARES Children Fly Safe aviation restraint is an stylishly intended belt-and-buckle device this works in conjunction together with the regular airplane seat belt and offers young travelers the same altitude of security as a car seat. CARES Children Fly Safe aviation restraint weighs just one pound and fits into a 6" stuff sack! It is effortlessly portable, neat to install, adjustable to nearly each size airplane seat, and usable on any seat in the airplane, except in the emergency exit rows. Want your car seat on the other end of the trip? Just check it throughout as luggage and carry CARES Children Fly Safe aviation restraint on board in your pocket! CARES is manufactured exclusively by AmSafe Aviation, the foremost manufacturer of aviation seatbelts and pilot restraints in the world. (Turn over your airplane seat belt buckle.

Customer Reviews
Customer rating is 5 of 5  CARES Harness   2010-03-10
By Mom Traveling With Toddler (DC Area)
Worth every penny I paid for it. Simple, one piece design was easy to install on the plane seat. Easily fit around the Southwest airlines seat...the belt fit underneath the tray table of the seat behind so there was no inconveniencing other passengers. Installed in minutes. I had traveled previously with a car seat and was in a lather by the time we reached the plane. The CARES harness fit in the side pocket of a small backpack. Southwest was familiar with the harness so I had no problems from the flight attendants when using it. I found the best way to secure my daughter was to follow the CARES directions but leave the shoulder straps loose until the lap belt was fastened tight enough across her lap. Then tighten the shoulder straps. This kept her from sliding under the lap belt.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  I will never use a car seat on the plane again!   2010-03-09

Even if you don't have a car seat where you're headed, using the CARES system and putting the car seat in cargo is a great idea. The CARES was easy to use, and you don't have to lug around the heavy car seat all over the airport. Myself and my two-year old daughter were flying to visit my parents, who luckily already have a car seat for her, so the CARES was the perfect solution. My daughter enjoyed sitting in the "big people seat." She was comfortable and we were both happy.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Worked great for 21 months old traveler   2010-03-08
By Jennifer C. Dziedzic
We recently traveled to Florida and my 21 month old son did great wearing this harness for the whole flight down and most of the flight back to Minneapolis. I believe it worked well for us because my son does really well in his car seat and falls asleep in it all the time. The harness does keep the child quite upright, such that my son's head did roll forward while sleeping. But he must have been comfortable because he took 1 to 1 1/2 hr naps both ways while strapped in! (The loud background/white noise of the plane engines probably also helped, similar to highway road sounds.) We had no problems with the harness at all and I was very glad that we had purchased it. For me it was well worth the price for the comfort in knowing that he was safe and not going anywhere! I am definitely planning on using this again on our next flight with our son (assuming he is still in the recommended 22-44 lbs range).
Customer rating is 5 of 5  So easy   2010-01-21
By Alicia D. Volkheimer (Mebane, NC United States)
I bought this harness for my 3 year old to use on the plane. Our friends at our destination had a car seat we could use there, so we didn't need to bring our own. The harness was very easy to install and use, and my daughter seemed comfortable in it. The flight attendant said "Oh, you have the fancy seatbelt!" to my daughter, who seemed to like that. I think even if we have to travel with a car seat in the future, I will gate check the seat and use the harness on the plane.

I shopped around for this harness and the best price I found was on Amazon with free shipping. Even with a 20% off coupon at a local retailer, it would have been more after tax.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  So much easier than lugging the car seat!   2009-11-25
By Sara (WI USA)
It is rare that any product is perfect, and the CARES harness certainly has a couple of spots it could be improved upon. However, the ease of use in comparison to a car seat is worth any flaws it might have.

The pros:
-You don't have to lug your car seat through the airport, detach it from something like the Go Go Travelmate or the Traveling Toddler Car Seat Accessory in order to get through security, etc.
- Installing a car seat on an airplane puts your child in kicking range of the seat in front of you, the CARES harness (mostly) prevented my son's feet from reaching the seat in front of him.
-Easy to install on the plane seat. Slip it over the back, run the seat belt through the straps, and strap your child in. I was able to do this in under two minutes, flying alone with a toddler.

The cons:
-As other reviewers described, the chest clip location is not perfect. If you are not careful in installation it ends up aligning with the neck. I was able to get the chest clip in a better location, however.
-The red strap does not lie flush with the curved seat backs.
- Lack of leg straps means the child can slouch, messing with the positioning of the harness and also putting them in range of kicking the seat in front of them.

All in all, this product *is* overpriced for what it consists of, but given that it went through the process of FAA approval, it is worth it to not have to travel with a car seat. Improvements could be made, however.
