Child Restraint Systems

This notice proposes to withdraw FAA approval for the use of booster seats and vest- and harness-type child restraint systems in aircraft during takeoff, landing, and movement on the surface. In addition, this notice emphasizes the existing prohibition in all aircraft against the use of lap held child restraint systems (including belly belts). The FAA believes that, during an aircraft crash, the banned devices may put children in a potentially worse situation than the allowable alternatives. This notice does not affect use of other types of approved child restraint devices. The FAA will continue to analyze methods to improve the alternatives to the proposed banned devices.
