Securing Your Child Restraint In Aircraft; Installing Convenience Base In Aircraft - Evenflo Embrace 35 Owner's Manual

Securing Your Child Restraint in Aircraft

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
recommends that you secure your child for air travel
in an appropriate child restraint based on your child's
weight and size. Turbulence can happen with little
or no warning. When turbulence occurs, the safest
place for your child is in a properly installed
child restraint, not in an adult's lap or on the
aircraft seat with its seat belt. Keeping your
child in a child restraint during the flight will help
ensure your family arrives safely at your destination.
The FAA recommends that a child weighing:
• more than 18 kg (40 lbs) use an aircraft seat belt;
• less than 9 kg (20 lbs) use a rear-facing child
restraint; and
• from 9 to 18 kg (20 to 40 lbs) use a forward-facing
child restraint.
Please note that these FAA recommendations
may vary from those applicable to the use of
your child restraint in a motor vehicle.

You must use the internal harness when installing
the child restraint in aircraft.
