CARES - Child car seat

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!

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 amazon) 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.

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.

Really good for providing a much better and safer restraint for small children on aircraft. It does need some cooperation from the person sat behind to slot the strap under their tray table but we found people were happy to help. My only concern was whether the product was genuine but as far as I can tell it does seem to be.

Excellent product. A must for all parents travelling with toddlers to five year old. Why do the airlines not rent this product on flights or even have it on the plane for parents to use. A must for child safety. Have now used this on six flights and my granddaughter loves being able to sit by herself. We have used it on British Airways and all the crews had been given briefings on it and were pleased to see it in use. Other airlines such as Easy Jet, Ryan Air, BMI and Monarch need to allow parents to use it as it is so much safer than a lap belt or attacment to an adults seat belt. I have read the review about the need for a leg strap but this is probably a safety issue.The system still holds the child more securely than an adult belt especially during turbulence and in the event of an accident is less likely to cause injury to the child. A rolled blanket under the chids knees or a wateproof backed mat to sit on works great. Having to readjust the seat back retraining strap during flight has never been an issue, is it being put on properly to start with. Adjusting the harness itself on the child before using it on the plane works well

A must buy for travelling with a child who has additional needs, this was the best purchase I ever made to take my little stimmer away 🤍

This has been a lifesaver for us. We’ve flown with our now 2 year old with this for the past 6 months and it’s been amazing. We have bought tickets for him and also have chanced it without a ticket in hopes we might get lucky and get a free seat next to us (happens often). For short or long haul flights it worked perfect. Even in countries like Thailand and China the stewardesses knew this was approved to be used on their flights (United, American Airlines, China Eastern, British Airways, Air Asia, Nok, Southwest Airlines have all been fine with it). This saved us from having to put him on our lap while taking off, landing and during turbulence (if your baby is asleep you know any disturbance is to be avoided). Even if you don’t buy a ticket for you baby it’s good to carry it in case you’re lucky enough to get a free seat next to you (for kids under 2). As for how well it holds your kid in place I’d say it’s a huge upgrade from just the seatbelt across the lap. I also found that my toddler will chill out more with it if he has it on (kinda like a car seat effect). However, they can slip under, but I put a small pillow under his legs to keep him from sliding. All in all I’d 100% recommend it.

It was useful for keeping our 2 year old in his seat and it gave peace of mind that he wouldn't be flung from his seat in the event of an emergency. The only problem is he kept slipping down in his seat and it was difficult for him to pull himself up on the pleather seats. It was easy to install though so I would recommend overall

Como nuestra peque es menor de 2 años y le compramos un asiento para vuelos largos, nos obligan a cogerla en brazos durante el despegue, aterrizaje y el recorrido por la pista o por las turbulencias. Me imagino que, cuando tenga más de 2 años, nos dejarán usarlo en todo momento. Es mucho, muchísimo más seguro que el cinturón normal. De hecho, me hace pensar por qué no sacan algo así para adultos, porque el cinturón normal es una birria. Yo, personalmente, estoy muy contenta: está hecho del mismo material que los cinturones de los aviones y sujeta bien. Si tenemos otro niño, compraremos uno más.

Et obligatoire en dessous certain age

Fácil de usar, como abuela lo recomiendo, proporciona mucha confianza en turbulencia.

I honestly didn't even know there was an alternative to bringing a carseat on the airplane until I did the research. This was pretty decent. It was easy to install/remove and adjust. Almost like their carseat buckles. It's small to carry on the airplane and compact, so that's always a bonus for your carry ons. It comes with a carry bag which is handy. The only downside is the limitation of the use. My son is pretty big for a 2 yr old, so he'll eventually grow out of it really quickly for travelling. I'd say if you're travelling a fair amount within their first few years then by all means the price is worth it instead of hauling a carseat around. BUT if you're only using it once then that's a pricey expense.

Nach einem Bericht Fernsehen über die Unfallgefahr für Kinder beim Fliegen wollte ich unbedingt etwas für die Sicherheit meines 2jährigen Sohnes tun. Als Auswahl blieben ein aufblasbarer Kindersitz (der leider nicht von allen Fluggesellschaften akzeptiert wird) und dieses einfache sowie super geniale Gurtsystem. Trotz des hohen Preises entschied ich mich für das Gurtsystem und ich habe diesen Schritt nicht bereut!!! Das Handling ist dermaßen einfach, man kann nichts falsch machen! Der rote Gurt wird über die Rückenlehne des Kindes gelegt und festgezogen, die Höhe ist knapp über den Schultern des Kindes. An diesem roten Gurt sind die Hosenträgergurte für das Kind schon fest verankert, nun nur noch den Beckengurt vom Flugzeug durch die unteren Schlaufen, alles festziehen - FERTIG! Das Flugpersonal (Tunis Air) war skeptisch und gleichzeitig neugierig - und danach hellauf begeistert. Und mein Sohn war sicher - nichts drückte und klemmte, er war nicht beengt, alles super. Ich kann diesen Gurt absolut weiterempfehlen für alle verantwortungsbewussten Eltern, die etwas für die Flugsicherheit ihrer Kinder tun wollen!
