Safe Travel for Children Under Age 2

Child restraint seats have been required for cars since 1982, yet the FAA has not mandated required Child Restraint Seats for children under the age of 2 in commercial planes. If you or someone you love is traveling with a small child we encourage you to review the following and be sure that all passengers, including children, have their own seat.
