Until recently, the only way to keep a toddler safe while travelling
by air was to carry a car seat on the airplane. That meant carrying
a small child and a heavy car seat throughout the airport and struggling
to get the car seat attached properly once on the plane.
Parents
now have a safe, easier alternative. CARES (child airline restraint
system) is a simple strap that attaches to the existing passenger
safety belt on airplanes creating a five point harness for children.
It was designed for use on board aircraft and has recently been
approved by Transport Canada.
The CARES device is specifically designed for children ages 1 to
4 and weighing between 10-20 kg (22-44 pounds) and whose height
is 100 cm (40 inches) or less. The device itself weighs only one
pound and is small enough to fit into a purse or carry-on.
Precious Travellers is pleased to be the only distributor of CARES
in Ottawa. We would also be happy to ship it anywhere in North America.
The device comes with a carrying case, DVD instructions and an instruction
card. CARES is available to purchase for only $85 CDN plus taxes
and shipping, if applicable or it can be rented for $20 per week.
