The Child Aviation Restraint System provides a reliable safety solution for children during air travel.
CARES (Child Aviation Restraint System) is a harness-type belt that can be quickly and easily fitted over airplane seats. Combined with the standard lap seatbelt, it creates a secure five-point restraint system for children.
This system is portable, lightweight, and straightforward to install—taking less than a minute to set up. It's globally certified by aviation authorities, including CASA in Australia, and is the only restraint system certified for all phases of flight, including taxiing, takeoff, turbulence, and landing. It offers a safety level comparable to car seats.
Suitable for children weighing 10-20kg (approximately 1-5 years old), CARES keeps them safely secured during various flight conditions such as turbulence and emergency landings. The familiar feel of the harness, similar to car seats, helps children settle more comfortably and increases the likelihood of them sleeping during long flights.
Not only it enhance safety by preventing children from being unsecured during turbulence or emergencies, but it also allows parents to travel without the bulk of a car seat, which can be checked as luggage.
The idea for Child Aviation Restraint System was born nine years ago when its inventor, Louise Stoll, saw the struggles her pregnant daughter faced while managing a toddler and their gear during air travel. This observation sparked the creation of a practical, innovative solution to make flying with children easier and safer.
To date, over 70,000 units of the multi-award-winning CARES have been sold, now available in regions including Australia and New Zealand.
