Thinking of traveling by plane this summer? The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is supporting safe travel for all aircraft passengers in collaboration with child restraint system (CRS) manufacturers, researchers, and safety advocates. Witness recent research, current regulations, approved and non-approved child restraints, CRS fitment, and best practices for restraint installation in airplane seats. Review safety features for persons who are differently abled and resources for caregivers and CPSTs.
