Air Travel Safety for Infants: Allowing Lap-Held Child Restraints.
This legislation aims to improve safety for infants traveling by air. It requires the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to remove restrictions that currently prevent parents from using their own approved lap-held child restraints for children under two during takeoff, landing, and taxiing. This change gives parents an additional, approved method to secure their infants during critical flight phases.
Key points
Parents traveling with children under 2 years old will be allowed to use their own approved lap-held child restraints.
The change applies specifically during takeoff, landing, and movement of the aircraft on the ground.
The FAA must update its aviation regulations within 90 days of the law taking effect.
