213 (49 CFR 571. Transport Canada states, Over the last 30 years, there have been four aircraft accidents in Canada and the United States where a requirement to use car seats may have prevented five infant deaths, or increased their chance to survive, and one incident where a three-year-old in a child restraint system (CRS) was the sole survivor in the plane. This document provides background information and history of the issue, and aims to. Transport Canada is conducting a review to consider the risks and benefits of making Child Restraint Systems (CRS), such as car seats, mandatory on board commercial flights for children under 2 years old. CARES is designed specifically for aviation use for children aged 1 or older who weigh between 22 lb and 44 lb. THE US FEDERAL Aviation Administration (FAA) will soon propose a regulation mandating use of child-restraint systems (CRSs) for all children flying in aircraft. booster-type child restraint systems (as defined in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. Mandating child restraint systems in commercial aircraft. On board, the child seat shall be anchored securely in a window seat using the seat belt.Р вЂќР’В¬ARES (Child Aviation Restraint System) is approved on Icelandair flights.

The child seat is approved for use in motor vehicles and aircraft in accordance with the Canadian Standard CMVSS 213/213,1.

The child seat is approved for use in aircraft in accordance with the German Standard on 'Qualification Procedure for Child Restraint Systems in Aircraft' TUV Doc.:/958-01/2001.

Child seats that meet US requirements must have the following label in red lettering: 1) 'This child restraint system conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety standards' and 2) 'This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft'. 213 and has been manufactured according to this standard as of 26 February 1985.

The child seat is approved for use in motor vehicles and aircraft in accordance with the US Standard US FMVSS No.

The child seat is approved for use in vehicles in accordance with the European Standard ECE R44-03 or later amendments.

2 Department of Transportation Laboratory Test International IRCOBI Conference on the Biomechanics of Procedure TP-2 13-04, September 1, 1997. of accidents involving restrained children as part of the CREST project (Child Restraint System for Cars).

The child seat meets at least one of the following conditions: The investigation Safety Standard 213, 'Child Restraint Systems.

Child seats that are specifically designed for attachment with 3-point belts (normal seat belts in cars) may not be used.

The child seat is designed for attachment to a seat with a 2-point belt (normal seat belts on passenger seats in aircraft).

The use of child seats is allowed during all stages of the flight, including during take-off and landing, provided that: 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. Passengers can ensure a seat for an infant seat by purchasing the child fare. CARES Child Aviation Restraint System is designed specifically for aviation use for children age 1 and older who weigh between 22 and 44 pounds. When travelling with infants under 2 years old, passengers may also bring an approved child seat on board, provided that a seat by the window is available on the plane.

Physicians play a significant role in counseling families, advocating for public policy mandates, and encouraging technologic research that will improve protection of children in aircraft.Passengers travelling with children ages 2 to 11 years old may bring on board an approved child seat if the child sits in the seat during the flight.

The Academy further recommends that parents ensure that a seat is available for all children during aircraft transport and follow current recommendations for restraint use for all children. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a mandatory federal requirement for restraint use for children on aircraft. Preventable injuries and deaths have occurred in children younger than 2 years who were unrestrained in aircraft during survivable crashes and conditions of turbulence. They are permitted to be held on the lap of an adult. Children younger than 2 years are not required to be restrained or secured on aircraft during takeoff, landing, and conditions of turbulence. In a study published in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine (October 2003), researchers reviewed existing data from numerous sources, including data that the FAA presented in its Report to Congress on Child Restraint Systems in 1995, regarding the effects of requiring CRS for infants and small children on commercial aircraft. Occupant protection policies for children younger than 2 years on aircraft are inconsistent with all other national policies on safe transportation.
