Benefits of Infant / Toddler Car Seats when Flying with Kids
|
When a toddler gets bored during flight, it
is common for him to wiggle around or try to leave his seat. Airplane
seatbelts are very easy for toddlers to unfasten. With small children,
it can sometimes become difficult for a parent to control this
behavior. It can become a safety issue if a child refuses to remain
buckled and in his seat during take off or landing. |
|
An excellent method of controlling this
behavior is to use infant or toddler car child safety seats. The child gets a seat
that is a better fit, providing more comfort for the child…while the
parents get a very effective form of restraint for moments when their child gets
the wiggles at a time that is not appropriate to allow movement in the
cabin of the plane.
Infant/toddler car seats also provide more
safety for children during flight. The FAA recommends use of child
safety seats
on airplanes, providing they meet guidelines for use on aircraft. See
the
FAA web site for more information.

Flying Kids Mission
As parents, we are
responsible for molding our precious babies into well rounded
adults who have an appreciation for the variety of opportunities
that they have available to them as they grow and develop as
individuals. Exposing children to varying geographical
locations and cultures around the world is an important teaching
method that many parents have the option to use for developing
generations of culturally aware future leaders who have
childhood experiences that help them understand and personally
relate to global issues. It is the mission of Flying Rugrats to arm parents with information about flying
with children, toddlers or infants strategies in an effort to
dispel fear or apprehension about family travel so that families
may travel freely and better educate our future world citizens
through positive travel experiences.
