Installing child restraint system using a seat belt

Child restraints for infants and toddlers and infant seat bases need to be secured to vehicle seats using either seat belts or the LATCH system. If done correctly, either type of installation will keep your child safe.

Child restraint devices can only be fitted on a suitable aircraft seat using the type of seat belt/harness for which they were designed. For example a child restraint device that needs to be secured by a car type seat belt which includes a shoulder harness, cannot be installed on an aircraft seat that is fitted with a lap belt only.

A Child Restraint Device (often referred to as a CRD or Child Restraint Seat (CRS), is a device to safely keep your baby or young child secure on a flight. The most common example is a car seat or the CARES harness – which you must bring from home.

Some types of restraint devices are provided by your airline – depending on their aviation regulations. This could be an infant lap belt (belly belt) or a child restraint seat – a bit like a car seat but built specifically for that particular airline. However, availability and rules for use do vary, so read the guide below.
