Are You Allowed to Take Car Seats With You When Air Travelling?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Firstly, we can confirm most airlines allow you to bring a car seat on the plane. This will depend on a few factors, such as specific rules, sizing and safety certifications for the proposed model. To instantly check if a car seat is likely to be approved for travel, simply search for a sticker on the model which states ‘Certified For Use in Aircraft’.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s also essential to check with your airline before travelling as although a car seat may be safety-assured to travel; it is up to the individual companies to set their own rules. For example, some airlines instead provide their own seats for use during travel. The best action to take is to do your research, speak with the airline and ensure you have something in writing to guarantee that your car seat can be used in the cabin. Another consideration is that if you plan on using a car seat during travel, you must pay for an additional seat. You cannot just assume there will be an accessible seat, so booking a regular child fare is essential.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Shop Car Seats” color=”warning” size=”lg” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kiddies-kingdom.com%2F27-car-seats”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image source=”external_link” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” title=”Birth – 15 Months” custom_src=”https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/170257-large_default\/britax-baby-safe-isense-group-0-car-seat-space-black.webp” link=”https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/birth-15m\/44613-britax-baby-safe-isense-group-0-car-seat-space-black.html”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image source=”external_link” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” title=”Birth – 4 Years” custom_src=”https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/213432-large_default\/bugaboo-owl-group-123-360-i-size-car-seat-washed-black-.webp” link=”https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/birth-4yrs\/51064-bugaboo-owl-group-123-360-i-size-car-seat-washed-black-.html”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image source=”external_link” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” title=”Birth – 11 Years” custom_src=”https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/241706-large_default\/cozy-n-safe-comet-i-size-360-rotation-group-0123-car-seat-graphite.webp” link=”https:\/\/www.kiddies-kingdom.com\/birth-11-yrs\/51358-cozy-n-safe-comet-i-size-360-rotation-group-0123-car-seat-graphite.html”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Car Seats Recommended For Air Travel” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]When choosing a <\/span>car seat <\/span><\/a>for air travel, you should first make a few considerations.
