labeled as an approved child restraint for airline use and fits
properly on the plane. Contact the airline about their policy prior
to traveling.
•
Place the child restraint next to a
window to avoid blocking the
aisle.

the tether will improve the stability of the child restraint and
reduce the risk of injury.
