This child restraint is certified for aircraft use. Most airlines in the
U.S. and Canada will allow you to use a child restraint, if it is
labeled as an approved child restraint for airline use and fits prop-
erly on the plane. Contact your airline about their policy prior to
travelling.
• Use your child restraint only
on forward facing aircraft seats!
• Place the child restraint next to
a window to avoid blocking the
aisle.
• If the aircraft lap belt is too
short, ask the flight attendant for
a
belt extender
.
