What type of restraint devices can be used on board for infants?

• A. No restraints allowed
• B. Infant Seatbelt
• C. CRD (Child Restraint Device), Infant Seatbelt, AmSafe CARES, Baby car seat, Meru chair
• D. Adult seat belt with child strap

Answer: (C)

Infants on board must be secured with an approved restraint designed for aircraft use. There are several options commonly allowed: a CRD (Child Restraint Device) that is installed in the seat with the aircraft belt; an infant seatbelt designed for use with an infant passenger; AmSafe CARES, a lightweight harness that turns a regular seat into a passenger restraint for small children; a baby car seat certified for aviation use; and the Meru chair, another airline-approved restraint. These devices are approved for in-flight use and must be installed and used according to their instructions and the airline’s policy. The other options aren’t appropriate because there is no restraint or there’s reliance on an unapproved method, which doesn’t meet safety requirements.
